RE: Bath Tub Faucet

Unfortunately you will need to open up the wall on the back of the faucets. you may get lucky and have an access panel. If not you can make one or possibly you may be able to carefully remove the whole panel without damage. Greg

RE: Roof Over dilema ?

Bob I'm sure that our roof expert JD will add to this, but I would be very concerned about the weight. I would remove the existing roof, and in all likelihood add parameter blocking to support the new roof, otherwise you run the risk of actually bending the floor joists from the weight. Greg
