The house I moved into had the patio converted into a sun room, the roof was nearly flat with less than 3/16" per foot of pitch.  The roof was a torch down roll comp with the huge masonry fireplace right at the transisition.  Time, moisture and gravity killed the pitch, then an additional layer of torch down was improperly applied at a later date.  What a mess.

Sounds like a lot of work that will be absolutely worth it.

Been there done that, I feel for you but it will be better than ever when done.

Sounds like a pain in the ass, but it'll be great when it's done knowing that you did it correctly.

Taping and floating the ceiling is the worst.  Well, pinching a nerve in my neck on drywall was also bad, that took me out for a month on hydrocodone and cyclobenzaprine.  All better now after epidural steroid in the affected joint.

Better you than me. MIKEY won't do drywall or paint.

Good on you for doing it yourself though.

Pretty much how all my projects go.  

Put a new roof on the house this summer, big thunderstorm right after we got the old decking ripped off.  Had tarps over everything, but 60-mph winds popped the ropes like rubber bands.  Whole family on the roof trying to re-secure tarps, sitting on the corners in ferocious winds, pouring rain, and enough lightning that we didn't need any other light to see by.  Water pouring in the house, youngest inside running around with buckets and bowls trying catch some of it.

Looking back, I probably should have let it go.  The risks we took that night make me shudder to think about it in hindsight.  Hanging on to a 20'x30' tarp in high wind, twelve feet in the air with no real footing to speak of was an... adventure.

A night to remember.

Your sunroom sounds an awful lot like the one I had in my last house.
