Our Carport needs to be re roofed.  It rains on the camper...

The roofing on the carport is like a thick tar paper with a coating on it. 

It came up easily.

We are planning on putting 3 tab shingles on.

Problem was the small carport is pulling on the larger carport.

Then we started looking at how hokey the little carport was put together...

The posts holding the end up are I beam metal bolted to the structure.

 

Then I noticed the 2x4 rafters were pulling away from the beam...

So we decided to rebuild the whole small carport.

I put a 4x4 post to brace the roof, (we put a tow rope attached to the bottom of the post)

then I used my pole saw to cut the rafters.

Here is a video of us pulling the 4x4 post out from under the roof.
