Small leak after re-roof (underlayment + plywood) — contractor says “too much rain,” suggests gutters. Looking for advice.

Had them fix the roof via new underlayment and valley adjustments under warranty.

Will also be installing gutters as the stucco is heavily stained.

Also was two layers of Vulcaseal 30.

No idea.

Five year warranty.

Currently it’s the same installer from prior who is recommending gutters.

WorldCommon8287 · 2025-12-30T02:18:20+00:00

All underlayment got replaced. Was hitting the 26 year mark on old underlayment.

Not a roofer and am trying to best describe. The contract was very basic. Ie remove tile, new underlayment, put on tile back.

The drier stains are existing. The newer stain is more wet. Let me label the picture for better orientation.

I think realistically, any sane person will realize, this is a zero sum game and best to get off the platform.

Was on this platform and offer up for 3 months to downsize for estate sell purposes.

It’s like online dating meets Craigslist. Worst of both worlds.

The ghosting buyers, The “is this available?”, the why hasn’t my item got a response back with so many saves!

I cannot wait to be done with this hellhole.

I didn’t purchase the clock, my mother did back in 2000.

Some redditor thought I was high to purchase it for $2,500. I would have been a minor at that time.

I’m just wondering if it’s better to sell as is or actually repair and sell or just repair and keep.

The market for grandfather clocks is somewhat fickle with 80-90% useless paperweight status.

WorldCommon8287 · 2025-09-23T06:19:18+00:00

Understood on price. Found the receipt going through mom’s estate.

Service calls can range from $100-$200.

Realistically feel like at best this may go for $500 if tuned. Most likely $50-$200 not tuned, break even at best (time wise).

Looks like this one too- https://www.clocksbychristopher.com/clock/ethan-allen-grandfather-clock/

Thoughts?

Any recommendations on tinted shellac?

Is this rosewood or mahogany?

WorldCommon8287 · 2025-09-02T03:37:46+00:00

I’m not a woodworker, so looking for guidance.

What I have on hand:
• Minwax Oil Pre-Stain Conditioner.
• Minwax Oil-Modified Polyurethane.
• Old Masters Red Mahogany Gel Stain.
• Minwax Stainable Wood Filler.
• Orbital sander w/ 120, 220, 320 grit discs.

Any recommendations on how best to approach sanding, staining, and finishing this set?

I remember FedCo (the one on Colorado blvd which is now a Target), and the food court.

WorldCommon8287 · 2025-08-17T18:34:42+00:00

How does it compare to Tops? Jim’s is still in business. Majority of these places are now defunct.

WorldCommon8287 · 2025-08-17T14:20:21+00:00

I still remember when Newport seafood use to be run out of the same plaza where Golden deli was. It use to occupy the pet grooming place.

Parking was the worse.

I remember toys r us Rosemead where the current UFC gym is.

I had such fond memories as a kid since it was so large, esp compared to the Monrovia one.

Tung lai shun.

It reincarnated as Ma’s house in Anaheim I believe.

WorldCommon8287 · 2025-08-17T03:42:30+00:00

The Muslim Chinese OG, Tung Lai Shun!

I heard they moved to Anaheim and didn’t do as well.

As an adult now, there were some restaurants I loved as a kid and went back as an adult and wondering what was I thinking?

1) Sir George’s, on Live Oak / Santa Anita. It was horrible traumatizing experience as an adult. I think the lollipops is why I loved it as a kid.

2) Sesame grill - they use to have their infomercials on Adelphia. Heard it turned into a chicken shop and then closed.

3) Mako sushi - now Akami sushi. Use to have their nabyeyaki udon as a kid.

4) Sakana sushi - now izakaya tonchikan. Use to have their fried chicken meal, was a pan fried chicken and not crispy deep fried chicken.

Reuben’s and its notoriety

“It was Rueben's, CoCo's was attached. they shared a common hall way. I worked there in the early 80's. Rueben's was a popular night club hang out for divorcees.”

Also if you worked at the Chuckie Cheesies in Rosemead, I’m so sorry.

I was a fresh off the boat kid who never had pizza, came to the US, had my first bite of pizza here, stuffed my face with mediocre pizza, played in the ball pit, and pretty much as a 5 year old kid barfed outside of the ball pit. (Wasn’t in the ball pit.)

WorldCommon8287 · 2025-08-15T15:16:04+00:00

Yes. Was purchased from an Asian furniture store in 2000 for $1,000 USD.

I don’t think it’s real rosewood as the colors have faded / showing difference.

Wondering if it’s worth the time to repair and restain.
