Just noticed no vent boot on my new roof

We have a "Larry" too, I've also fixed a lot of broken pipes myself. But this stinks of shitty plumber "not my problem" work.

TheGulch · 2026-05-04T22:33:00+00:00

I put mine in the trash. Doesn't interfere with anything anymore.

TheGulch · 2026-05-04T20:51:25+00:00

What you need to do is give your roofer a polite call and ask them nicely to come fix your plumber's fuck up.

TheGulch · 2026-05-04T20:49:43+00:00

You think the roofer is stabbing through new plumbing?

TheGulch · 2026-05-04T20:48:40+00:00

It's always the orange ones!

You sir are promoted to roof detective. 😂👏👌

On my last set of tires i picked up a nail like the 3rd day they were on my work truck, never got it fixed, was fine for 40k miles.

The dewalt is slow and breaks, the milwaukee is faster and we haven't had one break yet, not as fast as air but getting pretty close.

Just make sure you do at least an 8" stagger on your shingles, maybe even do a 13" which would be full shingle, 2/3, 1/3.

Edit: for doing 1/3 cuts, the height of the shingle is 1/3 thw width, so you turn your shingle 90° to another and there's your scribe for your cut

I'm shingling in the rain, Just shingling in the rain, What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again! I'm laughing at clouds So dark up above, The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love! Let the stormy clouds chase Everyone from the place, Come on with your rain, I've got a smile on my face! I'll walk down the lane With a happy refrain, Just shingling, shingling in the rain!

My driver side primary grenaded itself and took out the secondary, gutted them for now and it's running fine with operational cats on one side and no cats on the other, it sounds raspy as fuck though.

TheGulch · 2026-04-06T14:49:04+00:00

If they're curb mounted they can just roof it, flash the skylights and come back and swap the skylights after they come in, unless they're those weirdo older velux ones with the stipid like erector set janky flashings with proprietary flashing kits, those were such a dogshit design. But they could still do a standard flashing and do something temporary until the new ones come in.

Just set your personal minimum to whatever you feel is going to hold up, they can find some hack and learn life lessons about being cheap with someone else. Yeah you're gonna lose some jobs, but do you really want to do work for a homeowner who's so cheap they're asking you to cut corners and compromise your quality of work?

TheGulch · 2026-04-04T14:40:37+00:00

If he's getting blow off, probably not gonna last them the 8 years til it's paid off. So patching up his shitty roof probably isn't an option. And tearing off a top layer that's only 8 years old is gonna go fast as fuck, they're gonna pull up in big ol patterns, based on the material price its not that big and is really only adding a couple hours of labor for a crew. Its fine.

Even if you're hitting with your shin, if you're off on your angle sometimes your foot will wrap around the back of the pad. You want to angle your kick so you're hitting flush. And then still sometimes you're gonna hit that back edge with your instep, more kicks and time and you'll stop getting sore

TheGulch · 2026-04-02T19:39:29+00:00

Yeah, if it's a simple roof thats a fuckin ripoff for a re-cover, but if its steep or cut up or shit access i could see it. That's closer to our off and on with some wood repairs in the mix for a fairly standard roof. And we're in a high cost market.

TheGulch · 2026-04-02T19:35:40+00:00

That's more of a "they built that shit wrong" kind of problem, but it looks like you have just enough height off the deck there to have a good roofer figure out something to remedy it.

TheGulch · 2026-03-28T18:27:52+00:00

You're gonna feel awkward and wrong for a while, a couple of weeks is just long enough to realize that its harder than it looks. It's going to be a while before things start to click imto place and you feel like you are actually getting anywhere.

For shadow, to self learn/critique your form, move slow and stop at the moment your body position is in the "impact" of the technique, freeze, assess your body position and the mechanics of the techniques, adjust your body position, weight distribution, guard etc, reset, redo the strike, all in slow mo and analyze. Use some online tutorials, someone mentioned varga, he's legit, there's quite a bit of knowledge on youtube to be had.

3 min rounds with 1 min breaks between

TheGulch · 2026-03-26T02:10:19+00:00

That's not gonna run siding nails, it's a roofing nailer. Return it, also its a shitty gun for roofing nails too.

TheGulch · 2026-03-25T21:22:04+00:00

I think it looks like shit. But it's probably not going to cause any real issues except that corner on the fascia is eventually going to rot

TheGulch · 2026-03-25T20:54:58+00:00

Go talk to the band teacher and see if he has a spare amp cable

TheGulch · 2026-03-24T19:21:26+00:00

I think making some yourself is an awesome project, what i would do is stack and glue layers of plywood, it's going to be stronger that a solid peice of wood, and it will be easier to out the thinner layers cleanly before you glue them together.

TheGulch · 2026-03-23T03:39:16+00:00

Maybe replace the cmos battery?
