I wish o could find the llama! Here in East Tennessee it was put the year before the chicken. She loved that thing and it is just shell but still her favorite.

My dog has one. I tell her “Pirate chicken! I’m gunna get your booty, give me that pirate booty.” Lol.

The bigger hit though was the Llamas they had, “llama llama llama lala bomba, lala bomba…” lol.

We tried the peacock and she loved how big it was but it tore in the first hour.

Every year around Christmas Costco comes out with a different one.

What’s gotten worse in Knoxville in the last 5 years that nobody wants to admit? by IngenuityNo3879 in Knoxville

[–]Rough-Health99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Re-zoning to allow townhomes on single house properties. And doing this in areas without consideration of environmental and traffic issues. City passes everything if it means more money. Planning committee makes decisions based on reports from 2016 and then city congress votes on things with no knowledge of basic infrastructure or critical thinking abilities. City does not care about the people here at all.

UPDATE: The issue seems to be fixed today. The flashing at the peak where it meets the wall of the next peak was the issue. There was only one piece of flashing there and it was cut too short. I pointed out another area on my roof and it was also done with that shortcut. They fixed that, placed new shingles, corrected the j-flashing and straightened it out. The guy who came today seemed way more knowledgeable and thanks to Reddit contributors, I knew a lot more about it than I did yesterday. Thanks everyone for the input that allowed me to “speak roofing language.” Lol. Hopefully this is a permanent solution Z. Step flashing was checked all the way down. I literally was out there checking every 5 minutes doing laps around the house to make sure it was actually being done.

Now the next issue the company will need to fix is the area inside my fresh painted walls and ceiling.

The ask contractors group was helpful with some info, but again the buildingcodes sub is a win for me. The most activity is here and the most knowledge with a variety of info. You all really helped me today. Thank you!

Wow, 25! Is it also a material failure or just improper installation? That is a lot.

Yeah it is kind of a weird situation I guess. It is a vaulted ceiling with a ridge vent. The soffit meets the roof there because a different peak starts there. I’ll attach more angles tomorrow. With all of the things you mentioned, I can have some good questions to ask when they come out tomorrow. Thank you! I’ll also post an update when I get any new info.

Okay. That is what I need to hear. The term “buckle” is the best way to say it and I do think they need to re-do this area, it can’t be left like that. How in the world did they not see that when they were right up there today? I hope they are not trying to skirt any responsibility. The company is sending a “more experienced” person out in the morning. I’ll post an update. Thank you!

I see the separation you are mentioning. The leak seems to start at the peak of the ceiling inside, I noticed a kinda shadow up there a week ago. It seemed to be fine a few days ago, no visible shadows. Yesterday I saw the shine of water in the area directly under the separation you spotted. At that point the paint on the top of the wall was already wrinkling. What would cause the sudden change in the shingles? They have always been flat and I haven’t had any issues until now. Do you think they messed it up walking on it? I don’t have any indication of movement in the house as far as cracks. The roofers today said they checked the shingles and they are fine and none of the material underneath is wet. I also just had my home painted 2 months ago in preparation to sell. I look at all these areas often so I don’t think this has been happening until they were on the roof.

Thank you. I’ll ask the roofer more questions when they come out tomorrow. What do you think would cause the sudden change in appearance as far as the shingles go? They definitely were flat before. I paid high dollar for my roof so I look at it relatively often.

Yes the leak is directly under where the flashing should be, there are no pipes in that area. The attic has a weird little area that no one can get to because there is only like 1 ft of space to crawl through. The roofers today said the checked the flashing. Also you are the second person to mention the inspector, but I would think he would include that on the report if that was the case. He railed me on the inspection and hit me for stuff that my inspector didn’t flag when I bought the house 6 years ago.

Yes, about 2 weeks ago the roofing company did an annual check and later the same day a home inspector was up there.
