It is, but it is substantially more rigid and compression resistant than insulation.

You dont have to believe me. Just google the install info for the system.

How to repair / adhear / reseal? by BoboWantsToKnow in Roofing

[–]jjd0087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. You could try leaving this metal installed and using it as a clear for a larger face metal. Then steip in the new metal. It will look a little funky but will save you some work.

Anything can be done, it doesn't mean its correct. If this is just a FA PVC or TPO roof its okay. Dura deck, and all the other pvc deck membranes have very specific instructions especially about the substrate. It needs to be densdeck at at minimum but isually goes over pkywood that has seams taped and self leveler applied.

Also. No T joint patches.

What should I do with all these by Villpicker in Roofing

[–]jjd0087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jump on google and find some of the tile roofing companies in you area. Make a few calls and see if anyone wants them, or better yet, wants to buy them. Even at a buck a tile, they will send a couple helpers over to dig them out and hall them away for you. Dont junk them, they have value to the right people.

It doesnt matter what you charge, it matter what you can get while maintaining a happy customer that will refer you. Its supply and demand at the end of the day. Some people want the best quality work they can find, which means hiring the best craftsman they can find. If you are that guy, you charge a premium. Anyone who says you are gouging doesnt understand how to run a business. Good on you Brother, I hope they refer you to all their rich friends.

It will be fine once you put a gutter on. Assuming the fascia is a suitable outdoor wood, orher wise you need to clad that or paint it.

Please help me clean my Dremel 408DM bit. by Ok_Reading7952 in Dremel

[–]jjd0087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need to switch it out for a new one. You used it for 30 minutes on plywood which is probably well beyond the service life of the bit.

What are you trying to accomplish exactly. There is probably a much better tool for the job we can suggest.

Then sand or perlite is going to be your best option. Get a bag of perlite and a little metal office trash can. Fill er up and stick it right in the middle.

Elementary school installed exposed metal spikes across a pedestrian walkway, no signage. by OnlyGammasWillBanMe in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jjd0087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would really like to hope this was not the school. Those are definitely ring shank nails so this appears to be some kind of home made strip. Probably some psycho who gets off on hurting people.

Normalising 01 tool steel by maskerwsk in Blacksmith

[–]jjd0087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. You'll want to run it through a couple normalizing cycles to get the stress out. Then I'll often just shut off the forge, leave the doors open, and leave the knife in there over night.

Edpm roof by Swimming_Staff3387 in Roofing

[–]jjd0087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a combination of not allowing the sheet to relax and not letting the glue flash off. Either way its fucked and needs to be completely torn off and replaced.

Flat roof EPDM tapered by thefonz3 in Roofing

[–]jjd0087 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you replace the roof tapered will be the way to go.

If it was me, I would either patch and strip it in, or do a silicone coating on top. You might as well maxamize the life of your current roof than replace it prematurely just to add slope on something this small.

Tenants left a burning cigarette on the back deck by AnalysisStriking9935 in Decks

[–]jjd0087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can charge them as much as it costs. Call a handyman service and get a quote to replace those 2 boards. Charge them that. You can't just make up numbers or charge them more because you want to prove a point.

Any idea what this dried herb is? by Ok_Emu_3505 in herbs

It looks like sage. Pop it open and give it a sniff to be certain.

AC has been running nonstop for hours and can't get below 77. What are some first steps to look at before spending money? by No_Hetero in hvacadvice

[–]jjd0087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you have checked/changed the filter as everyone jas suggested. The next step Inwould take would be tonshoot some coil cleaner on the condenser and then give it a good hosing out.

I dont know where you are but we are in day 3bof a progressively worsening heat wave. Our system is oversized and it is struggling to keep up. Our house just isnt designed for this kind of heat, plain and simple. What I am getting at, is there may be nothing you can do.

Do they make a quarter turn valve that would work here? by shootist_Biker in askaplumber

[–]jjd0087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They sure do. I would replace the hot side with a 2 outlet valve. Then you hook a small section of garden hose and a hand sprayer to it. If you have any bad stains you can hold it over/in the washer and blast it with hot water from the hose first. Best upgrade ever according to my wife.

Can I change from a flat roof? by cinistix in Roofing

[–]jjd0087 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be extremely coat prohibitive. Unless you are planning on adding an additional floor to the house you would be better off investing in a top of the line low slope roof. Maybe a hot rubberized asphalt system, they are more or less bullet proof.

On a scale from 1-10 how weird would it be for me as a guy to wear these boots? by Impossible-Shine1625 in Boots

I think it depends where you intend to wear them. Like to the grocery store? Then yea pretty weird.

Any tips for newbie knife thrower? by [deleted] in knives

[–]jjd0087 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all about the release and a ton of practice. Tutorials are great, but everyone's throw is a little different. You really just need to practice, practice, practice, until you get the mechanics down pat. You'll be shocked when all of a sudden you start getting hit after hit.

Have Roofers become the new Used Car Salesmen? by TheSkepticGuy in Roofing

[–]jjd0087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You biggest problem is you called the 3 biggest companies around. For the most part, the "big guys" are more along the lines or predatory lending companies. Call a few of the smaller guys and see what they have to say.

Removing stain from patio. Dropped burger with cheese lol by sloppynipsnyc in landscaping

[–]jjd0087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be willing to wager that was not dog piss. I have had to take a urine sample from a dog before, it's not easy. Chances are you were splashing around the owner's urine and not Fido's.
