Default Roof / Attic inspection

Was that you that nearly fell through the decking.

I had a restaurant a couple of week ago that had a slightly pitched roof from front to back that the only thing that kept me from falling through was the butyl rubber; deck was completely gone.

What is the gray material?



“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
