Hey guys. This is a project that somebody evidently several somebodies started and the owners asked me to see if I can figure out a better way to do this. But uh, they put a roof over the ductwork. And the idea was to keep animals and the weather off of it and of course they didn’t do the shingles. Any metal on there. And then the animals got in there anyway. This area and ductwork there’s several places where the animals climbed in throughout. So we're going to take this down, do something different, and you'll watch this as we do that.

So what we decided is we can keep the plywood. And I saved the guy a lot of money. We're going to put a metal here, metal here, metal here. And so we're going to have to take apart one of those rafters that they used and to fill in this area. We’ll have something to screw to. And it's getting his problem, taking care for a budget close to bankruptcy. So that's what we're doing.

Well, we come a long ways. We’re putting metal, after we cut the front off. What we've done is moved one of the rafters that was on the front near here, put a little bit of wood in here.

We’re fastened metal on the side and we're putting metal on the roof put a ridge cap. We'll take you through it as we go. But we’re going to have to go inside before we close this up and wrap up the duct work so we won't finish it right away. But we're going to get we're going to finish it today.

So now, we're now we're getting all the ductwork sealed up. There's no exposed pipes or anything. Everything's wrapped up. All the edges are that insulation is sealed with foil type. And there's a lot of problems all the way through there, underneath. So we're getting there now. We'll be covering up the front of this and it won't be particularly high dollar because I'm trying to keep us on budget, but it will look way better than it did.

Profile is the best side. So anyway, the metal makes it look a lot better. If you notice everything is kind of square. It’s now. Animal proof, probably person proof. That would have been a great hide-hole for a homeless person. Animals made a mess of all the ductwork. We spent hours sealing that all up, but now it's got something that is going to last for a while.

Everything's going to be appraising for better. So whenever the appraisers come out to say hey, this property looks like it's worth this much. Doesn't look as bad as what they had before. Frankenstein, “It’s ALIVE!!” kind of thing. So, here we are on a budget. I'll probably charge him $200 for the materials and and then labor and then more. We'll have a better situation. We can go to the bank with.
