On Sunday I managed to get the clips off with a 900mm crow bar with the help of my dad and cousin. Tarpaulins cover the roof temporarily until this weekend when I hope to install the new roof (Klip-lok 700). Luckily, my dad stopped by and used the crowbar, otherwise I would have had to use a angle grinder.
Photo of the infamous clip. Fastened to the timber beam by four screws with flat heads, which made it a real PITA to remove. Removed each clip by starting from one end or the middle, using a 900mm pinch bar.
My 2 cents
If the roof was flaking so badly couldn't you of enclosed the whole carport area with clear plastic with tape and hired a roofing type steam cleaner and blasted the crap out of it using dust masks and spermsuit to remove 99% of the paint and then gently hosed down the roof and rafters and allowed to dry and then vacuumed up the mess on the ground and considered the job complete?
I'm interested to hear what people think of this supposed remedy of mine and its faults perhaps:?
I may be mistaken but it is my understanding that lead based paints when they flake the flake will almost always be yellow on the underside?
If the flakes were yellow on the underside I'd bet my left one the paint contained lead.
