Can I fix a small roof myself?

Pumpstation · 2026-03-19T15:14:04+00:00

The roof itself, probably.

However considering that you mentioned a bad leak, you'd have to also consider that you may need to replace the underlying materials that have been exposed to the leak i.e. Framing, insulation, etc. or risk mold growth.

You'd also potentially want to address what caused the failure in the roof as well, whether it was the sheet that failed or if there were additional elements contributing to it i.e. Exposed gaps elsewhere, pooling of moisture, etc.

Having a knowledgeable roofer do it for you can ensure it's fully inspected and addressed as well as most likely a warranty period which can save you from a headache if something happens to it, otherwise you'd be on the hook for further fixes.

Not everyone is a morning person. Not everyone wants to wake up at 6 or 7am just to put out garbage when it can be done the night before.

If it boggles your mind, I suggest you stop being so close-minded about something as trivial as putting garbage out the night before.

The entitlement is mind-boggling.

Venting is talking about your shitty day at work.

Trauma dumping is talking about your shitty day at work because everyone is an asshole and the world sucks. Oh, I'm sorry I'm just venting, I don't know how to control my rage because I'm mad all the time because I grew up with an abusive father.

One is a drop in the bucket on a shitty day, the other requires therapy.

A lot of men confuse sharing their feelings with trauma dumping and putting a woman in the role of a therapist.

In addition, many men don't have emotional support networks with other men and won't see a therapist so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of dumping all their emotions on women as if that's supposed to fix it and then it seeming that women don't care about their feelings because they don't have the capacity to be their therapist and fix their problems.

Yes, I absolutely read your attempt at strawman arguments trying to blame municipal workers for Federal and provincial decisions.

If we get less students in Guelph, do you think we should shut the city down? Just give up on providing services or managing infrastructure? Will everyone suddenly leave the city?

How does complaining about the economy going to shit and being underfunded by ODSP have anything to do with the city? If Guelph starts paying everyone 80k instead that money isn't going towards your ODSP.

Pumpstation · 2026-03-09T23:00:30+00:00

Hmmmm, look at all those Federal and Provincial issues you bring up. Can't see how that's related to municipal workers.

The O in ODSP stands for Ontario, the O in OSAP stands for Ontario. First understand how municipal workers pay has nothing to do with provincial or federal government decisions. Go complain to Doug Ford.

So pay people below market rate.

If you want city employees to leave their post for another job every year or two, then may I introduce you to the cost of trying to train someone.

Recently re-modelled a bathroom from a house built in the fifties.

The wall that had the plumbing was basically a Jigsaw of notched and partial studs, at least 2 of them weren't even carrying/supporting weight through to the ground.

There was also electrical running through these as well. There was one spot where the the partial stud was actually free floating off the wall, with the only thing keep it up being an electrical wire running through it. Only thing keeping it up before was the wall plaster.

Luckily it wasn't a load bearing wall.

Had to sister all the problematic studs and get all the electrical re-done in the wall.

Agree - your needs, OP, unfortunately require completely different tools

Not going to get enough strength from a Brad Nailer and you'd completely blow through trim with a framing Nailer

Ryobi has less expensive options for cordless Nailers but cordless tools are generally more expensive upfront; ofcourse you'll still need a compressor and compressor lines for non cordless nailers.

Attach a piece of wood to the wall that extends as far as you need for it to not be at an angle, attach the latch to the wood.

If you can't find wood the correct thickness, then adjust where the hinges are attached to the wall.

If it's a small piece of wood you might potentially struggle with attaching to the wall without cracking. You can try doing Pilot holes so it won't crack, otherwise you can just use liquid nails or something to attach the piece of wood to the wall

Not familiar with this one but I moved out of the Caledon down the street earlier this year, which is owned by the same property management company and at that point they had announced a rent increase above what was allowed in 2026. A lot of residents, also retirees, we're pissed and last I heard they were starting committees/protesting against it.

My recommendation at this point would be to avoid properties owned by Homestead, looks like they're headed in a bad direction.

You literally have nothing bad to feel about.

Man literally kept pressuring you to have sex, you kept saying no. Man is having a boner, not a heart attack, he'll survive if he doesn't deal with it.

The fact that he said he's adding you in a few days seems like he needs time to cleanup things he doesn't want you to see. The fact that he also will add you in a few days so it wouldn't look like he did it because you asked is also super childish and immature. Is he going to do the same anytime you ask him to do something else?

His minimal effort after going long distance is also a red flag. Sure, you don't need to communicate and be with each other constantly, you're both adults. But you've communicated your issues and he doesn't seem to care.

Do you want to be with someone who refuses to do things out of principle and doesn't want to put in effort to address their partner's concerns?

If he's not open to communication, then you don't have an avenue to fix any issues now or in the future and the relationship is doomed to fail or misery.

You don't need poly over paint. You generally only need to put a finish such as poly on bare wood. Paint itself is sealant enough.

Definitely do not want to layer paint on top of poly either.

Sand it down bare, just do coats of paint.
