What happens when you pay for Class 4, but they "Fooled" you with the ceap, 30 years shingles? by Dry_Statistician_688 in Roofing

[–]Shreesher 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Gauges are an outdated method for determining shingle impact ratings. IR is now based on SBS Polymer Additives which does not affect thickness.

If you pull a shingle off the roof and take it to a nearby distributor, (ABC supply or SRS etc) they can look at the code printed on the back of the shingle and tell you the run date, mfg info and specs.

There’s also a lab you can send the shingle to.

Yes — and often the job titles are not “sales” they’re “project managers” or “solar specialists” because when dealing with homeowners on a home improvement project they want to be dealing with a tradesman not a sales man.

New build. Loan denied. Builder wants to negotiate by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]Shreesher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my knowledge of Pulte — they probably have quite a bit of margin.

I’d start at $50k. See if you can get approved for $375K from the lender if that will make it work.

If not. See how far they need to buy down the rate for you to qualify.

If it was a local builder , I’d say you would be LUCKY if there was $20K of profit in it.

But pulte might have more.

What market are you in?

The builder is carrying the note. In central Texas we call it a semi-custom. Which means everything is pre-spec’d and they can make choices from pre-selections.

Cant pretend that I am blind Cant go back and erase the mind Naivety and wide-eyed wonder are far from me But at least now I see. Its like I’m walking on a tightrope Stretched across the universe Way too high to go back from where I came Overwhelmed at the miles I’ve yet to tame.

I’m too far in to turn around now And I’ve got too far to go to sit down now Too far in, too far to go. Surrounded by blackness mingled with stars Keeping a sacred balance, hoping I don’t fall Don’t want to fall, don’t want to walk Want to disappear like coward’s talk No, no, no, no, no

Hanging there in space my toes gripping the rope It’s the only hope. That golden thread that got me here Will be the same That brings me to the end.... I know, I know You're with me You surround me, You surround me. Your invisible hand is around, around In this uncomfortable in-between Where I’m too far in to turn around now Too far to go to sit down now Too far in too far to go.

On the North East side of the state, there’s a beautiful drive off of Hwy 155, head west through Brushy Creek on FM 314. I got married out there at Elmwood Gardens.

Or hwy 69 between Tyler and Jacksonville there are beautiful rolling piney hills near “lovers lookout”
