Due to a massive leak over a long time our salon will have to be rebuilt, the floor and ceiling are going be replaced due to dry rot and mold but the walls other than being stained are OK, no signs of window leaks either so we will use stain blocker on the walls. There was rips in the salon aluminum roof on front and back that was not repaired properly which caused this problem. The ceiling of the salon was held up by double back sticky tape in some areas. The leak cause one of the front control arms to freeze up and stripped the threads on the control arm bushing making the pop up floor lower in the front. Also one of the locking pins has a bad seal and leaks fluid from the shaft when activated which stained the wall. We had no idea about this as it was not disclosed to us when we bought it and was told it had a torn seal and a problem with the pop up floor. We've purchased a new seal from Newell which is 50 miles from us. Here are some horrifical pictures, we are almost done with the roof repair which we did first. We found this decayed rat under the floor, it must have smelt bad for some time.
