Well I finally decided I needed to redo the pool cabana roof & setup the solar heat for the pool correctly
Right now the roof faces East & West - not correct for solar heat, you want it facing South
The final "prompt" to do this is I went by Lowes....they had 2x6 x 14' long on clearance for $1.08
They are normally maybe $8 each...so I bought 60....saved over $400
Last year I moved the solar heat for the warm tub to a new support over the bar
Also put some Tiki frond stuff up for decoration
This year ripping the roof off
Former "attic" tenants evicted
The "base" upon which the new roof will sit is now 14' 3" x 23' long
There is a 2' overhang on the East & West sides, plus a 1' overhang on the bar side
And the outline of the new roof line, approx 28' facing South
It will extend out over the bar area & maybe 18" beyond the bar
The attic wall facing the bar will have a glass panel from a sliding glass door installed
A spare 27" wide screen TV will go up in the attic for viewing
Short roof facing North will have a 2x4 skylight
Plus there will be a window on the new East & West walls
Instead of the 4 panels I had on the roof in prior years there will now be 6 panels 2' x 20' long
Plus there will be (2) panels 2'x12' long for the "warm" tub...maybe
I'm debating setting it up to be able to cycle the warm tub water thru all 6 panels....that would heat it up faster in the spring & fall
