Well I spoke too soon on the roof. I spent all day working on it, and have determined some of this stuff just isn't made to come apart and be reused. The front of mine was rotten, and the back is rotten as well. the frame appears to be in good shape, but it is sagged in the middle and I can't get the dang aluminum to cover it back up. Plus it is obvious that the front and middle is where the water is coming in. I have determined the only way to do it "right" is to replace the roof. I'm finding some rubber roofing kits on amazon for under $200, so not terrible. Just a set back I really didn't want to have to deal with!
As far as insulation- I've got a question- replacing/adding Insulation in the walls and roof seems like what everyone does when rehabbing these things, but with the canvas sides, it really seems like a waste of time to me. Won't all the heat just escape through the thin canvas unless you also insulate that?
