Jerry arranged to have a handyman come out and fix our problem. Here's what the project looked like after the first day.
The shingles and plywood from part of the roof were removed to expose the rotting tails.After the second (and final) day of the project the roof looks like this.
The shingles hang over the edge of the roof's plywood and there is a metal drip flashing on the edge of the plywood to keep the water off of it. The tails were painted to protect from water, too. Why couldn't the garden room installers have done these things?Some of the fascia had to be replaced on either side of the notch. Some fascia at the far corner of the house was also rotting (but not because of the garden room). We got that fixed, too.
It feels good to have this taken care of. I don't like having the house rot like that.
Speaking of home improvement, some of my BEA windfall went to paying off our loan we got to pay for our kitchen and bathroom. Our house is all ours again!

Hey! We weren't allowed to vote on whether that money should be used for home improvement. You have been fiscally duplicitous with us!
Oh, great thing that it was repaired! The garden room installers were probably excited to watch a basketball game live, that's why they failed to do it the right way. LOL! You should always hire trusted contractors to do your roof. Who do you think won the game they were into?

I can also hang out all day just watching people passing by on this roof since it's already fixed. LOL!
What a great job that handyman did! It definitely pays off to have workers who know exactly what to do for any situation. I'm glad your roof was finally fixed. Who knows what else could have happened because the wood was rotting? I hope you've also gotten the fascia fixed by now!
