Thanks, this is only the 3rd roof I've done. 2 on my parents house, and now one on mine. Had a bad wrinkle in the ice shield at the eave on my parents house the last time, but it has since relaxed. I think I tried to pull all the plastic off at once, instead of one side at a time. Maybe it was a different product, not sure.
Didn't touch a ladder at all today, it was glorious. Took 7,220 pounds of old roof to the dump in between rain drops.
Piled high.
Strapped up and ready to go.
At the land fill, almost all the way up.
Garbage left, shingles right
Dumping.
Pulled the trailer forward to empty the box.
Another dump trailer was leaving as I started removing tarps, and another dump trailer dumped before I completed. they had 3 guys, but my load was 3 times their size. Bam!@
Nifty skies.
On the way down. Those are fresh retaining ponds on the left with black liners.
Pulled onto the scales at 17,420 pounds, left at 10,200. The truck weighs around 6,000, so the trailer is 4,000.
Maybe I'll hook up the trailer brakes next time

Threatened rain again today so I finished the wood, and started looking for an elbow for the furnace/ water heater exhaust stack that I broke pulling it off the roof. Turns out it's not available anymore, and there are no adapters. The furnace is a 98% power vent now, and doesn't use that stack, so guess I'll do an entire new stack just for the water heater.
I did leave a cutout in the back of the hall closet for water access when I did the bathroom, so it should be easy. I'll zipper saw the old metal out, pull it out of the closet, and push new pieces in.

The company is still around, but no one carries it, and you can't get it directly from them. Found a few smaller pieces on ebay, but the stuff snaps together, and gets broken taking it apart. Thought about having one made, but it's double wall B vent. Even toyed with the idea of using a 6 inch and 7 inch elbow on the inside and outside of it to make two walls. But I really don't want an attic or basement full of co2.
I can get all the pipe, elbows and flashing to replace the entire stack for about $200. Should have done that once I realized it wasn't available anymore.
You know it!

Chopped the old stack out and replaced it today. Cut the stack behind the closet about 3 feet up, and pulled the pipe out of the floor. Then stood on a milk crate and chopped it as close to the ceiling as possible.
The opening in the back of the closet is 16 inches wide, and 14 inches deep. I got in there with the six and a half inch pipe. Heh.
From there I got in the attic and tossed the two elbows and 5 foot chunk out. Snapped together a matching new pipe and the rest went through the closet.

Tyvm. No toys in my attic!
Do you still do the work, or have you moved into the office? Are you union or private?
I do HOAs and some commercial.
