I had covered that bad corner of the roof with a 6'X10' tarp for a few weeks to protect it from the rains.
Between the tarp and the metal roof, the purlins and rafters were somewhat "baked dry" by any solar radiation that did hit them.
The sun the day before yesterday was my signal to get the epoxy applied.
It had set up by yesterday and was ready for the new screws to be installed.
The rains started up again just as I was installing the last screw.
The gutter had to be rehung in the rain.
We now have 100% of the roof's runoff going into the tank again.
My tank floweth over.
I'm thinking of doing similar to the back lanai, covering a portion of the roof with a tarp to let those purlins and rafters dry out, then tenting the roof's structure so I can remove the roof panels and get the epoxy applied to the structural members.
It would have to be done in stages.
That lanai is 11'X60' long.
I'm hoping the weather will break soon to make the remaining job easier to get done.
I haven't worked off a ladder for a long time.
I was woke up this morning by a charlie-horse in my calf.
I hate it when that happens!
It tends to ruin a potentially good day.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
