Flat roof repairs 1

Recently the family "camp" has passed to me. It was built in three phases over the years, a gable roof going North and South, a second addition gable roof East and West and the final, a FLAT roof going East and West. It is leaking between the second and third sections. As an advanced DIY, I intend to reroof it myself. I am looking at the new "rubber" sheet systems as an improvement over the built-up and roll roofing materials. I figure on running the sheet 3-4 feet up the gables and the valley. Cost is a concern, and it’s a second home, albeit with sentimental value, so cost is a concern (and I don’t wish to alter the appearance), prohibiting reengineering the roofline to eliminate the flat roof section. Suggestions or web sites/books would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance. Blacksmith

Hey, my wife will be expecting two years, now. My normal time for honey-do's is 3 years. You are setting a mean pace.
