My studio is looking grim

Terra Cotta tiles all gone, down to the bare rotten subfloor.

Surprise. Rotten Wood!

The start of the whole thing was a leaking patio . . . when it rained water leaked into the garage (used as a recording studio) below. We guessed that it had been leaking for a while, but it looks like it has been leaking for many years., well before we purchased the house.

Down comes the classy aluminum patio roof.

From the front of the house the day before the dumpster arrived. The roofline, patio and front stairs will look very different in 90 days or so.
