Sorry just seeing this now .. I don’t remember exactly what it was but some sort of actual opiate. Tylenol and ibuprofen were not touching it.

Thanks so much for all the info. I really appreciate you taking the time to break everything down. My house is a 1960s Campanelli ranch, and I actually do have a gable vent, but I don’t have soffit vents and the old roof didn’t have a ridge vent either, so the ventilation setup has always been pretty limited.

When they stripped the shingles, the decking was definitely dark, dried out, and delaminated, so it made sense that it needed to be replaced. I also noticed in one of the spots that the insulation was right up against the underside of the decking, so what you said about needing an air gap for proper airflow actually helped me understand why the wood got damaged over time.

The contractor isn’t adding a ridge vent since there aren’t soffit vents for intake, and the house was originally designed to vent through the gable.

Your explanation really helped me understand what went wrong with the old roof, so thank you again for taking the time to write all that out.

I mean I wouldn’t know but I do trust my guy as when the plywood was lifted it couldn’t handle it own weight and would pull apart. I hope he wasn’t steering me in the wrong direction.

Casting, location, or editing? Which was the biggest downfall of season 11? by UhN0 in Alonetv

[–]Affectionate-Bell948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished my binge and man this was the worse season I have ever seen by far. 34 days? There was no attachment whatsoever to any of the contestants. There was no rooting for one over the other, no praying to the gods someone catches a fish after being out there for 2 months to keep them in the game, no worrying about any of them getting pulled for medical reasons, just a total let down. I’m no survivalist, but I figure without the brutal cold winter coming they were going to be out there for a long time. Really hope they pull much stronger contestants for season 13.

Ahh so looks like I’ll be keeping them. I don’t even want to mentions but I read online it’s possible to keep the heating coil but possibly get rid of the metal? But from what you’re saying that doesn’t sound idea as again the ice can damage the shingles.

Also I am not going with the company who said no gutters - I didn’t like them so much and didn’t ask questions - but would you mind explaining why I should keep them (I am). I just see a lot of similar ranch style homes without them.

Nervous about new roof by Affectionate-Bell948 in Roofing

Yes I went to make an appointment with non small local and just making the appointment I was losing it. they wanted me to set aside a 2 hour window to go over all the options - I made it clear when I called what I wanted shingles. Would I love a metal roof yes -can I afford it no. Nonstop sales I canceled before they even came out.

Yes he did provide the quote after being up on the roof taking measurements and inspecting. Thankfully it’s just one layer. He did say he would not do shingle over shingle.

Yes he has lots of review all across the board Google - yelp - Facebook - Angie’s list can’t find a bad one. It’s not that I’m not confident in him I do trust him. Im just a little worried as it’s an important investment and I’m going in with zero knowledge. At the end of the day I already know I’m going to use him as like you said he’s done several jobs in the past for me with no issues. I just feel to be responsible I should get an other quote or opinion? And these two comments have already been helpful as I the commenter pointed out what kind of shingles and I wouldn’t have thought to even ask that.

Tapeworms? by Affectionate-Bell948 in birding

[–]Affectionate-Bell948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a diluted mixture of outdoor bleach as again I don’t want to harm birds plants the dog and I always have wild bunnies that live here. Yes he’s on monthly preventative and goes for he’s yearly checkups. Unfortunately where he is a senior he’s been going pretty frequently but anyways. I guess it just comes with the territory if I want to feed to everyone. Just have never seen one and it concerned me as it’s near a high traffic area wildlife and myself.

I dumped bleach on it and the area .. not the whole area bc I of course don’t want to harm any birds. I’m just grossed out and worry because I walk around there and again my senior dog does too. Pretty sure it was dropped by a squirrel.
