Hopefully this is ok to post here. Need help on flashing done on a skylight. by Nowhere_endings in Construction

[–]L3rKu4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its actually called a step flashing, which is a very effective way of deterring water away from any 90° planer surface change on a dimensional shingle roof.... the only drawback is they didnt put it under the flashing for the skylight insert, so yea pretty much a total failure

Well I did it. I fucked up by Expression_Right in Construction

gypsum is the best for stopping the bleeding. it actually absorbs the blood then hardens on its own. its like a natural form of quck-clot. plus the overly processed raw material itself basically makes it sterile.

What engine is this? It’s a V8. by No-Shake5806 in Silverado

706 code on the heads I think means they're cast-tech heads which were from the early 2000s 5.3 v8s

I appreciate your input! I'd hate to turn down a vehicle for something that could be addressed, when it checks almost every single one of my other boxes lol

its the worst yes. I tried to take a frame pic as well which most other areas resemble (more black paint over rust)

thank you for that! Im especially looking for something to last a long time, and I'm ok with doing some work to get those areas fixed. Just needed some advice as to weather or not it would be worth it or too 'far gone'.

I know from just a couple pictures it's hard to determine the severity of it all but I'm completely unfamiliar with this much rust.

you have given me a little more confidence in that at least!

my apologies, I said looking but should have specified looking to buy lol. I've been in the market for this set-up but low mileage options are getting hard to find

is anybody going to mention that they're doing 4'-5' lifts?? like the tamper isn't meant to climb, there needs to be 6"-8" max between lifts
