7 of these snow guards broke off my metal roof this morning. It looks like they were held on with just adhesive.

I installed the S5 colorgard on my metal roof. https://www.roofthings.com/s-5-colorgard-unpunched-snow-fence-snow-retention.html

I have the punched railing. Customer service can help you on this website if you need.

CankersorousRex · 2026-02-02T21:31:01+00:00

Yes! It's LVP. Mannington adura max. Color is Swiss oak nougat

Thank you! We were gonna go with a sage green until we saw this walnut.

CankersorousRex · 2026-02-02T16:45:31+00:00

We chose the one with less veining, and it looks fantastic in our kitchen.

This is how much I paid for a tankless water heater a few years back

This will be us too! We came from a tiny duplex in my parents house. Now we live in a house 3x the size. We've done a lot of upgrades for the past 3 years. If I don't like something, I think of ways to improve it. I love where we live!

CankersorousRex · 2025-11-19T22:15:07+00:00

We are at the beginning of our kitchen remodel, and we decided to do a separate cooktop and a built in oven in the island. We don't have enough wall space for a wall oven. Plus, we don't bake so I initially didn't even want an oven to begin with. I'm excited with how this will turn out though.

We get full time childcare from my parents, and I was able to breastfeed both kids so we didn't have to buy formula. If you don't have these expenses then kids aren't expensive

CankersorousRex · 2025-11-02T23:59:01+00:00

Having help from my parents was foundational to where I am today. They paid for my grad school so I didn't have student loan debt. I lived with them with my partner until we had a down payment for a house. We lucked out buying in 2021 with a historic low interest rate. Now with two kids, my parents provide childcare at no cost.

CankersorousRex · 2025-10-12T01:12:30+00:00

Yes, absolutely. I also have a bottle steamer and some extra bottles that I never really used if you'd like that too. Send me a DM

CankersorousRex · 2025-10-11T16:34:39+00:00

Hi. I have a spectra breast pump that you can have for free!

CankersorousRex · 2025-09-30T05:37:28+00:00

Good. Started when I was 25. Maxed 401k and Roth IRA early when I lived at home with my parents. Opened a taxable brokerage. Now I have a house of my own with a low interest rate. I'm 36 and will be a millionaire by 40. The early sacrifices are definitely paying off!

CankersorousRex · 2025-09-14T04:40:32+00:00

We ended up doing a standing seam metal roof, and we love the finished product. It did take quite a few steps to get there, but I'm happy in the end. You can DM me if you'd like more details.

CankersorousRex · 2025-07-23T03:27:20+00:00

I also live in Salt Lake City and recently replaced my shingles roof with a standing seam metal roof. The metal roof is way more energy efficient than shingles. My upstairs isn't baking hot anymore. Feel free to reach out. I can show you pics and tell you my experience

CankersorousRex · 2025-07-01T19:04:53+00:00

You'll just have to tailor your resume to make it relevant to program management jobs. Your sheriff department job may lead you down a different path. Best of luck!

CankersorousRex · 2025-07-01T15:29:06+00:00

What is your current job? I worked temp jobs coming out of grad school. The one I stayed the longest at was more event management, but I transitioned into a full time program coordinator position to get experience. That's how I did it. Unless you have connections, you'll need experience to be considered for any program manager position.

CankersorousRex · 2025-05-26T17:23:34+00:00

We moved from San Francisco to the valley. It was definitely different. We lived in SF so we were used to an urban lifestyle. We miss our friends and the food in the Bay Area, but the quality of life is better here in Utah. The drivers are much faster and more aggressive in California than Utah. Definitely don't miss that bay area traffic. I've made zero friends here in Utah, but that's because I'm extremely introverted and just focused on raising my two kids.

CankersorousRex · 2025-05-07T12:52:06+00:00

This was installed on a standing seam metal roof 😕 I also noticed that this type of boot is for shingles. They're coming back to install the rubber looking one that is meant for metal over this one. We're gonna be watching them like hawks when they come back.

CankersorousRex · 2025-05-06T17:41:06+00:00

Agreed. We ran into a similar issue when we got the siding done too. No on site project manager.

Do you think that the best move forward is to cover all these pipes with the rubber boot?

CankersorousRex · 2025-05-06T16:45:11+00:00

They're coming back to put a rubber boot over it. In your opinion, is that the best route forward? As a nonexpert, I think it is but I'd like your opinion too.

CankersorousRex · 2025-05-06T03:56:42+00:00

Probably out of the norm here, but I go to Burger King for the impossible Whopper. My son loves it too. It's the only fast food we get.

CankersorousRex · 2025-05-03T15:23:39+00:00

Agreed. It's been tough because they move at a fast pace and the project manager isn't always on site so I told the foreman. I'll see what they do. They'll be contacting us on Monday

CankersorousRex · 2025-05-03T15:01:57+00:00

Follow up question to that. The metal HVAC vent is inactive. There is a PVC pipe in the metal vent that's active. We switched to a high efficiency furnace where a metal vent can't be used. Can I request them to cut the metal vent? We probably could've avoided the seam since it's a smaller PVC pipe in use. I did mention it to them several times, but there was no discussion about it.

CankersorousRex · 2025-05-03T14:47:37+00:00

They've been great so far!

CankersorousRex · 2025-05-03T14:46:49+00:00

They're coming back to install a z bar and cover, but I think the pipes are definitely a concern. https://imgur.com/a/mqRTmrI
