discontiguous area problem

There are static routes between R1 and R3, R2 and R4 and R7 and R8. Keeping
OSPF area 100 (dept A) and OSPF area 11 (dept B) separated.

R1, R2, R7 are in department A and have connections to each other via OSPF
area 100 in the 10.x.x.x/20 subnet. All routers are in area 0

R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R9 and R10 are in department B and running ospf 11 are
in the 172.16.x.x/20 subnet. All routers are in area 0.

R1 --- R3 --- R5 ---R6

R2 --- R4 -----------

R7 ---- R8 --- R9 --- R10
            |------------------|

I am not able to ping R1 to R4 and R2 to R4's loopbacks even through I have
static routes between r1/r3 and r2/r4 and I am redistributing the static
routes on both r1 and r2.

R3, R4 and R8 and originating default routes via default information
originate always metric type 1, R4 has metric 60 added to make it the
primary path but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I have 3 area 0's. One in dept A and two in dept B. I want to join only the
two in Dept B via a GRE tunnel between R4 and R8 but I am not getting any
OSPF routes on either side of the tunnel.
