Ops, yes... I'm l8te on this... :oops:

OK, here's a new episode.

Well, remember, there is a small junction between the V1/V2 rooms and the new V3 room.
That new junction has a specific roof of course; but that specific roof wasn't include in the roofing company quote. So when they build the main V3 room, they installed something very 'light'. And here's what happens when raining too much  :oops:  :arrow:



Here's the temporary installation they've done... with simple roofing  :arrow:



The major problem here : the surface is ... fully horizontal ...



... meaning the water doesn't flow and stay here  :-X

In addition, there's no isolation water at all : no water seal, no silicone...nothing...





Ok, let's call a real specialist to fix this ... my father!  8)

Let buy a new ladder... it's very high here (4 meters) :



...building a new structure, with a slope...



...and a real roof boards...



...and at the end of the day, the job is done :



Now this roof 'between the two building' is totally hermetic : water sealed, a new gutter connected to the first building.
And most important : no more water leak inside the room.  :)

It's a room for my garden tools and other tools 'non arcade related'  ;D ...
I can hear your next question... and the answer is NO : it's too small for an arcade workshop, the ceiling is too low, and the access via the stairs almost impossible for a standard cabinet!  :P

There was a second water problem, and this time, on the brand new roof!  :twisted:

After heavy rain... a puddle of water, under the main roof  :-X  :arrow:



...let's see where this water is coming from...



...here!  :-X  :arrow:



Of course, I see that problem after paying the bill to the roof company...:?
Fortunately, they came back to fix the problem... but only 5 weeks l8ter!  :-\ An insulating seal was missing, under a tile from an external edge.
Damn! I'll remember all the problems I got regarding the roof! Let's hope it's behind me now. But I lost five weeks because of this...

So that means it's completely water sealed now? Great! Roll out the carpet and bring in the games!  ;D

I know what you  mean Bruno!!!!

Roof Leak Paranoia...  I'm always checking just in case. 

In our "old" house, many years back when I had most of my collection crammed in my bedroom, in the little side gameroom I made off my bedroom, the roof leaked.  I did a paranoid check during a thunderstorm, and drip drip drip right on one of my arcade games!

And concrete topping applied  :)  :arrow:



"Cats protection" for the following days  ;D  :arrow:



Few days l8ter, it's possible to walk in...





The recommended 'drying time' (in order to remove any humidity) is between 4-6 weeks, depending the temperature... so let's wait a little...  :P
