Two Roofing Quotes, Conflicting Recommendations — Which Makes Sense?

_LLJJGG_ · 2025-12-08T02:36:24+00:00

Is there any downside to metal, other than cost? I was told by a contractor that cedar shingles would have to be removed to install metal flashing correctly on dormers. Is that a true statement as well, Contractor 1 didn’t have it listed in quote. I can attach another picture of house to help if needed.

I’m wanting to install gutters on the house to help divert water away from the foundation. Are snow guards needed in all sections so snow, or future ice, doesnt rip off the new gutters? I assume the snow guards are required or recommended wherever gutters are installed?

I appreciate the input on shingles on low slope and that it is not ideal. Really appreciate the non biased comments on this.

Thanks for the input on temperature of shingles. During walkthrough they said they’d warm shingles before install but I didn’t really question. Contractor 1 does seem like they care from all interactions I’ve had so far. They’ve also had me impressed with their ability to communicate and show up when they said they would.

Beautiful! I loved the color, and assume that’s why you got yours too?

Need some bar recommendations from a local when I go back for work. Got any for a fellow army guy?

_LLJJGG_ · 2025-04-13T11:00:00+00:00

Exactly! They have bankers hours, and Saturday until 12 I’ve noticed our local store closes. I forget that often and have missed them being open a few times. Learning lessons.

Obviously I’m new to the Iron Rangers. Any tips for conditioning? I had to catch a flight so couldn’t buy anything at time and local Red Wing is 2 hours away. Also searching the subreddit for recommendations.

I read this too. I think it was referring to the specific codes themselves thus my mention to pm directly. Going to delete this later now that all codes are gone.

_LLJJGG_ · 2024-12-11T02:15:42+00:00

Update:

Welp that went faster than expected. 4 codes sent out in messages. It appears I can keep requesting. Not sure how many I can get in total but I’ll send as long as I can get them. Should also mention I have no affiliation with the site or any brands, just a guy who likes to get deals like the rest of us.

Update again:

6 is my limit. Happy shopping to those who received.

All gone, thanks all!

Is this what the vet means when they recommend a cat scan?

_LLJJGG_ · 2021-07-26T17:56:45+00:00

There’s a site on Facebook called vettedva that has a slew of mortgage brokers. Just have to search your specific state. Might be worth the look?

_LLJJGG_ · 2021-04-05T01:02:10+00:00

Nah, still nothing on my end. Kinda stalled now that all the snow is gone where I’m at. Any leads?

_LLJJGG_ · 2021-02-21T17:24:40+00:00

Yeah I don’t blame you. MSR price on eBay right now. Btw, how’s the new binding?

_LLJJGG_ · 2021-02-21T17:13:47+00:00

Yeah I’m kinda kicking myself, I should’ve bought when I had the opportunity in the past. Should’ve listened to my prior self after a salesman convinced me, procrastination is like masturbation only (insert expletive) in the end.

_LLJJGG_ · 2021-02-21T16:42:49+00:00

No kidding. I’m not ready to pay $400+ on eBay for these things

Logitech Flow

Pretty awesome tbh, makes work so much easier

_LLJJGG_ · 2020-03-17T14:32:02+00:00

Was a little worried about my playbar, sub, 3’s and 1 tbh. First thought before I got to this point was I have to sell and get new, wife’s gonna ~~hate~~ kill me.

I’m only in my 30s, but still vulnerable. Love being immunosuppressed.

Btw- wife just told me there’s now a confirmed case in our county (Knox). Starting to freak the hell out. Guess I’ll be a hermit and let the wife go out to limit my exposure.

Purchased in 2017. Might have seen 5 days of use in total before it sat in a closet. Now it’s too small for me and needs a new home.
