This condition assessment is needed to establish budgets for repair, maintenance and roof replacement. On May 26, 2016 CSRC's Joseph Mileti met with the aforementioned St. Charles County staff and with Jim Peanick, Director at the site. Mr. Peanick has been at the complex for some time and has the best knowledge of the roofs age and leakage conditions at the various buildings. All roofs were then inspected from the ground which is functional for an assessment of this type and scope. Reference Standards • The 2015 International Building Code, Chapter 15, Roof Assemblies and Rooftop Structures. • The National Roofing Contractors Association Roofing and Waterproofing Manual-Fourth Edition • The Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau publications Inspection Findings The complex has sixteen numbered buildings on site and another eight structures that are not included specifically in the self-guided tour book but are storage and gazebo structures associated with a numbered building. With the exception of the Pavilion, which is a new architectural metal panel roof and the Gift Shop, which has an asbestos tile roof covering, all the structures have wood shingles or wood shake roofs. The common conditions noted are: • Cupping & curling • Displaced ridge cap • Inadequate ventilation • Organic growth • Missing gutter • Premature weathering These conditions are documented specific to each building in the photo array of this report. The following table is our assessment, with budget estimates for maintenance, spot repair or replacement. 16X09 Pepper View Court, Chesterfield MO 63005 (P) 3I4-S6O-3O38 (F) 636-ZI6-OO96 miJctij-vbcylob.il.net BUILDING ROOF AGE ROOF TYPE CONDITION M, RORR Pump House 7 Wood Good to fair Maintain shingles Covered -20 Wood Fair to poor Repair as bridge shingles needed Old Barn 2 Wood Good Maintain shingles Pavilion #1 1 Metal Panel Good Maintain Gift shop 40+ Asbestos tile Very poor Replace Squire Home 20 Wood Good to fair Repair #2 shingles Daniel Boone 10-12 Wood Good to fair Repair & Home shingles maintain Sappington- 18 Wood Fair Maintain Dressel #4 shingles School House 20+ Wood Fair-poor Repair as #3 shingles needed Dressmaker 6 Wood shake Good to fair Maintain shop #5 Potters shop -20 Wood shake Fair Repair as #6 needed Pottersshed n/a Wood shake Very poor Replace Carpenters 20+ Wood shake Fair Maintain shop #7 Carpenter 20+ Wood shake Fair to poor Repair as shop porch needed Two gazebos 20+ Wood Fair to poor Repair as shingles needed Peace chapel 1 Wood Very good Maintain #8 shingles Restrooms 1 Wood Very good Maintain shingles Stake House 5 Wood Very good Repair Valley #9 shingles Detached n/a Wood shake Fair to poor Repair as Kitchen #10 needed Wood storage n/a Wood Fair to good Maintain & chicken shingles coop Stockyard n/a Wood shake Poor Repair Engledrew -20 Wood shake Fair Maintain House #11 Smoke House -20 Wood shingle Fair Maintain Blacksmith 4 Wood plank Good Maintain Shop lb20Q Pepper Vil-w Court, Che<;h.·didd MO 63005 (P) Ji4-'ib0-J03ff (F) bJ0-216-009<, rniletijr<i'shcg1obal.ud Land Office -20 Wood shake Fair Maintain #12 General Store n/a Wood shake Very Poor Replace #13 Grist Mill #14 n/a Wood Fair to poor Repair shingles Callaway n/a Wood Good to fair Repair House #15 shingles needed Newton- 10 Wood shingle Good Maintain Howell House #16 Notes: Service rates range from $95-$102 per man-hour.

I ------------ -- -------------- Poor & Failing _ �eP-lac���s funds are available. Conclusions & Recommendations Wood roofing has a design service life of 40-50 years based upon suppliers warranty parameters. We have enclosed a document from Watkins Sawmills as a reference. The Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau is more conservative and use 30-40 years, based upon geographic location. It is our professional opinion none of the roofs installed on the complex are likely to meet or exceed this design service life. Our opinion is based upon the following conditions documented in this report: Many of the roofs are installed over solid deck which makes is difficult for the wood to dry rapidly. When the exterior sides dry they will shrink. The wet and moist undersides are soft and weak, which results in curling and bowing. Improper nailing patterns may also be a factor, but it is not the dominant reason in our professional opinion. The fact that many of the newer roofs, those installed in the last four years, show this condition is reason to upgrade some installation methods. u,209 Pepper Vlew Court, Chesterfield MO «,3005 (P) 314-s«,o-3039 (F) «,3«.-:z_lf,-�oc,«, mlletll\9•1,qJobaLnet Three or four of the buildings have ridge shingles that extend above the plane of the roof. This is referred to as "combed" or "turkey feathers" and the intent was to capture a detail consistent with the time period. This detail is susceptible to wind damage and many of the immediate repairs are related to replacing wind displaced ridge shingles. Recommendations 1. Incorporate underlayment that allows for the wood to dry quickly and evenly following a rainfall. (See Cedar Breather brochure) 2. Install wood shake versus wood shingles on future projects. The shake is more consistent with product available during the early 1800's and medium grade shake is more hail and impact resistant than medium grade wood shingles. 3. Cease specifying the combed ridge cap shingles. / affirm, under penalties for perjury, that the opinions and representations in this report are true.

  • Evaluation of Fire-Retardant Treatments for Wood Shingles
    EVALUATION OF FIRE-RETARDANT TREATMENTS FOR WOOD SHINGLES U.S.D.A. FOREST SERVICE RESEARCH PAPER FPL 158-1971 U.S. Department of Agriculture • Forest Service • Forest Products Laboratory • Madison, Wis. SUMMARY Wood shingles and shakes are esthetically de­ sirable and durable, but have been restricted for some uses because of their performance under fire conditions. Suitable fire-retardant systems would further improve the utility of shingles and shakes and insure consumer confidence. For this reason, numerous fire-retardant treatment systems were evaluated for their fire performance and durability. The evaluation used western redcedar shingles in two phases of the study. In the first phase, the fire- retardant treatments were evaluated for method of application and general fire performance under three fire test methods. In the second phase of the study, the more promising treatment systems were evaluated for durability by weathering exposure under two con­ ditions, and then fire tested. Four treatment systems promised the most fire- retardant effectiveness following weather and leach­ ing exposures. Three were impregnationtreatments in which the chemical fire retardants were heat cured in the shingles to reduce their water solubility: (1) Tris (1-aziridinyl) phosphine oxide, (2) tetrakis (hydroxy­ methyl) phosphonium chloride with urea and a mel­ amine, and (3) dicyandiamide and phosphoric acid. The fourth treatment was an impregnation with for­ mulation AWPA Type D, followed by coating with a sealer solution containing tricresyl phosphate added as a fire-retardant. A coating of an epoxy paint also gave satisfactory performance, except for resistance to severe flaming ignition. All four treatment systems need further work to develop optimum treatment levels which give suffi­ cient fire-retardant effectiveness, durability, and ac­ ceptable treated-wood properties and yet are econom­ ically feasible for the product.

For over a century Western Red Cedar Shakes and Shingles have proven to be a superior material for roof and wall cladding which is durable, warm and resisitant to extremes of wind and weather. In an environmentally conscious world they are clearly the Natural Choice!

Minor variations from the application principles may occur between regional speciaists but in no instance should these compromise the integrity of the roof or walls provided by the details in this manual. Shakes 1. Hand split and Resawn Shakes Cedar blocks of appropriate length are split by a hydraulically powered knife, called a cuber, into straight boards, or blanks. Then the blank is fed into a bandsaw, which saws the blank from corner to corner, producing 2 tapered shakes, each with a natural split face and sawn back. Shakes are produced in 2 lengths, 455mm and 610mm, and 2 grades, Number 1, which allows 20% flat grain content, and Premium Grade, which is 100% vertical grain. Shakes are available in Heavy (19mm), Medium (13mm), and Jumbo (25mm) butt thickness.
