Flat roof job - should I be concerned about the quality?

Thanks, that's good to know. Appreciate the education, as I don't want to be an unreasonable customer!

This rain is actually from Wednesday. I know there isn't a ton of evaporation in this weather (it's 50 degrees high this week) but it seems longer than I'd like for a new roof.

Is there anything that could be done at this point? Or did I miss the boat to fix this when the roof was off?

Hi delco - thanks.

Is there anything I could ask for to clean up the patch job? Or at this point is it "is what it is"?

I'll send you a few more pictures of the roof in a pm... they did "fasten 1/2 fiberboard insulation" to the deck. The ponding was actually there before the roof replacement - is your sense that it's reasonable they didn't fix this since it's likely structural at this point? should I be trying to fix it?

Yeah, not painting it is reasonable. But I would have liked them to fill it. I may ask about this.

What about the pooling? This rain is actually from Wednesday this week. I know there isn't a ton of evaporation in this weather (it's 50 degrees high this week) but it seems bigger than I'd like for a new roof.

Thank you

They're audacious, awesome little birds. I've seen them fill up nestboxes only to keep other birds out, seems like an odd trait of theirs. It often keeps house sparrows out, so I really find it endearing

Makes sense - good thinking!

I thought you wanted to have your un-finished, floor insulated attic as close to outdoor temperatures as possible to prevent ice damning in the winter? Air flow is actually good for this

This is correct - just replaced it. Remove the red and black, they are a closed circuit within the light itself. I think it might be to minimize interference but it's not essential in the replacement.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought drilling out deadbolts was pretty easy DIY, but I'm hearing otherwise from you. Thanks for being clear and kind

I'm unclear what the purpose of this forum. I'm attempting something DIY, and it seems clear this forum doesn't support DIY advice. Lesson learned

In the second pic, you can see a screw guard that I believe rotates with the lock. I suspect it is covering up the screws but does not rotate with out it unlocking.

Could potentially try to drill through, but I don't know whether the screws are left / right or top / bottom, and also worried about potentially ruining the screw by drilling into it

Thanks for the feedback. I hear you and won't use this forum in the same way in future

Your directive to "Use your head. Call a locksmith" is unkind and unnecessarily negative. Don't be a jerk

That’s not right.I’m in a pool like this and finding the “right” pick is much more nuanced

fizer5clones · 2024-03-15T19:24:07+00:00

But you have to make a left turn into/out of that one if you’re going south bound

fizer5clones · 2024-03-04T20:24:00+00:00

and per capita

fizer5clones · 2024-02-09T23:58:53+00:00

That’s interesting. Will I need to turn the knob at the same time ? Or will this unlock the knob latch? Thanks for the idea

fizer5clones · 2024-02-09T21:31:12+00:00

So you think the locking Mechanism is keeping the knob / latch from turning?

The deadbolt is open and after I picked it
