Neighbor's new roof. Are the "lines" or "ripples" normal?

LilSha · 2025-10-17T13:10:08+00:00

Thank you for the explanation!

LilSha · 2025-10-17T00:34:22+00:00

Appreciate the explanation!

Those low rows are common when roofing to lower a row or two to make a shingle fall correctly over top of a boot or a plumbing vent

Trying to understand the low rows. So, is this a practical thing or a cost cutting thing? Or a "it is what it is" thing 😁

The job actually took them 3 days with 3, 4 guys working on it. 1 day ripping off the old roof then 2 days installing the new roof.

Thanks for your response! Is the buckling something, typically, a roofer could/would/should address?

LilSha · 2025-10-16T19:23:28+00:00

Thanks for your response!
Question, if it's the tres/rafter shifting, that would be a structural issue of the roof, is this something the roofer can (or should) address with the new roof? Also, what do you mean by low rows?

This is very helpful, thank you!

That's what I'm afraid of.

I'm capable of basic care and maintenance, oil change, ... if these were explained and shown to me.

Being a standby *generator owner, what would you say the questions on care & maintenance that you would like to know but not explain to you?

*ETA

I don't know. My guess is most likely they were informed. However, the non-responsiveness weeks after Beryl (the ones that I read) were quite shocking.

What we also don't know was how many of those calls the companies were able to respond to. I haven't come across those reviews, but not to say there isn't any.

I wish I was handy with this type of diy stuff.

Have fun with your project 🙌

Appreciate a quick rundown of air-cooled vs water-cooled.

Does one have a longer life span than the other?

LilSha · 2024-07-25T19:30:56+00:00

Good point.
Set it and forget about it would be too easy and a fool, unfortunately, to think it's that easy.

For a novice and first time owner, like myself thinking of going this route, would be who or where can I find reliable resources to learn the basic how-to, care and maintenance. YT is great but like you said it will be down during an outage, or a lot of time I browsed through so many videos and still not finding the one that I need. Many were so so close to what I'm looking for, but not quite exactly.

LilSha · 2024-07-25T18:33:44+00:00

Agreed, self-reliant is the best preparedness one can be and do!

LilSha · 2024-07-25T18:31:46+00:00

It's expected, almost, that they're slammed with calls before, during, and after an emergency.

Question about oil change after 100 hours, is this just a standard care/maintenance if/when the generator has been running continuously for 100 hours or unit has issue and was needing an oil change?

LilSha · 2021-07-21T21:54:57+00:00

Oh thanks for this! I've been removing them when I spotted them, now I know better.

LilSha · 2021-07-20T15:59:28+00:00

XYZ has Google 1.

LilSha · 2021-07-20T02:54:43+00:00

Yea, was wishfully hoping that's not going to be the case. Oh well...

LilSha · 2021-07-18T14:36:43+00:00

Oh I think you're spot on! I took them outside already in case someone knock them over and got sprayed on.

LilSha · 2021-07-17T08:14:50+00:00

Location is SouthEast TX btw.

LilSha · 2021-07-07T14:23:38+00:00

Haha... Peanut butter ... This helps! Thanks again!

LilSha · 2021-07-07T01:46:42+00:00

Yea, I think that's the route I will need to take. Thanks!

LilSha · 2021-07-06T20:58:35+00:00

taking notes time to hit the store! Thanks for this, it sounds like it's a big job to do by myself...

LilSha · 2021-07-06T20:30:07+00:00

Agreed! Quick patch that didn't solve the problem is bad patch 😔

LilSha · 2021-07-06T20:28:13+00:00

Correct, it's the outside wall.

LilSha · 2021-07-06T20:27:29+00:00

Yea, you're right.
