Gampel Roof Renovation

[Chin Diesel]

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being most confident) someone tell me how confident I should be that they will actually finish this in time for the season. Thanks.

I refuse to believe that it is cheaper to strategically lower down tiles in a certain sequence, strip them. re insulate them, and re cover them instead of simply just buying new panels and replacing them as they are removed.

I agree, assuming they are available.

I believe they are a unique design. Where are you going to buy them?

It looks like a simple aluminum frame with standard fiberglass insulation inside and a metalized fabric on one side, glued to the frame. I don't see any exotic materials. In fact, a similar "tile" can be made from better materials.

It wont be any better but it better be just as good as a new one. Hopefully caulks and sealants have advanced in the last 30 years.

In a prior article they said it the new wrap won't peel. That's what the whole issue was. The vinyl de-laminated from the the metal wrap. The dark stains you see on TV are just the exposed metal wrap. Re-wrapping with new material should stop that from happening again. It won't stop it from yellowing though.

I have to believe that that was considered. I doubt it would take particularly long to re-wrap a panel. I suspect the delay has more to do with the replacing the seal on the aluminum panels.

Probably dry rotted. Suck the moisture from any material and its a goner.

Do we know the total bid on the project?

I recall hearing this roof came with a warranty. In the world i earn my money in, property management goes to great lengths to maintain those warranties.

The volleyball team, who usually plays their home games at Gampel, released their schedule. All their home games will be played at Guyer Gym. They are scheduleD there through Nov 24th the last home game. So it looks like Gampel definitely won't be ready to start basketball season.

Damn. Even the one supposed positive out of this off season, the roof repair, is not working out.

DOOOOMED!!!!!

Not necessarily - that was the plan from the start for WVB and the three games scheduled for Guyer in November can always be switched back to GP if desired...

>>The repair work does mean, however, that the women's volleyball team will be playing home matches in Guyer Gym in the Hugh S. Greer Field House for the fall 2017 season and that the annual First Night activities for the men's and women's basketball teams will be on hiatus for a year. <<

Fake News is becoming an epidemic

I for one believe it will be completed before the season, lest they got a lot of juggling to do

I am so glad that they were able to clean the original Patoni tiles. They are back to their original luster. The Maestro would be proud. Rumor has it that a very subtle Enzo is going to be put on the court this year in tribute to him.

Looks great. Now they can go with the bright lights, as it's something to highlight....rather than trying to dim those old toilet bowl stains.
