Re: Transom HELP
Hello, Chuck. I hate to tell you, this is no job for anyone short of an expert,and a young one at that (it's a nasty, hazardous,back-breaking job).<br />It can be done. To have it done is very expensive and time-consuming, even for those who do it for a living.<br />And it is a job that, if not properly done, can be dangerous. I know i am trying to discourage you, and that is not my style.But this job is not impossable...Just re-roofing your house is much easier.That is, of course, if the transon is rotten.<br />If you are sure the core is ok, you can dry it out,and grind out the old glass,re-glass,and repaint.<br />I would start with the cracks. I would gring an area to the core at the site of the worst damage, and stick a screwdriver into the core to see if it is wet,rotted, or dry. If dry,gring out the rest,re-glass,repaint. If not, call in the troops.
