What happened to ST?

Todays progress. These valleys can eat a dick.






This ****ing corner.


I'm really digging Mil****ees stuff lately. These shears cut that valley like butter. The tool less auto retracting knife works as advertised.

That pimp hand is gonna be strong, brother.

Today's progress. Got that ridiculous corner done.

Goddamn gnats were out in force today.


Nice scissors from mil****ee


Yes it's wavey, but so is the wood as it was originally built.


Had to cut the valley as I went because the shingles were sealing down almost immediately. Unlike the first valley that doesn't get afternoon sun.

A little clean up was in order today as I'm nearly done with the front of the house.


Brickwork is holding up pretty well nearly 4 years later.
[so] I hjauled nearly 2 tons of sand today in my truck. by Plasmatic - TribalWar Forums
Even after the 4,000 pound dump box was on it for a few days, with another 5,000 in it. There is a slight depression where the wheels would have been close to the house, but you have to look close to see it.


4,000 pounds of love.

that's some good n proper rust on them wheels rite they're lemme tell u wat

Hard working trailer right there.

Got into the wood on the back side above the kitchen. In this area the outside wall is at the gutter. It bumps out to make the kitchen bigger. There's a badly sealed sewer vent and the exhaust fan vents right into the ceiling. No wonder it was leaking there...

Uncovering the problem area.
The vent and ****ty exhaust fan pipe is above the ceiling where it drops down above the cabinets. To the right is soffit material


Insulation removed


insulation removed


is this seriously 3/4 copper into 3 inch vent?



another view



wiring





Did I mention the gutters were installed over the drip edge also? Could explain why we've always had water running down the kitchen window.

plas my nigga

I knew it would be an adventure when I got the house

What does that 3/4 come from? If tied into vent in attic was prob drain line for hot water heater or attic furnace. Lazy plumbers sometimes use existing vents for those drain lines so they dont have to drill extra holes and run extra line for drain. Like they should do.

It's 1/5 inch, measured it today. The kitchen sink is right below it, and the rest of the water is at the front of the house vented with a 5 inch pipe.

are u drunk?

Not yet

It's actually 1.5, must have been thinking in fractions earlier.

More progress.

A temporary skylight


Un****ed wiring and yes that's a chunk of drip edge to reinforce where the fan hangs on the drywall. I'm not solid mounting it in case I have to **** with it again.


a chunk of 5/8 ply dropped in to make drywall repair easier


insulation stuffed around the stink pipe. Remember this is an outside wall.


Once I was done ****ing with the stink pipe and exhaust fan it was time for wood. Pulled 2 rows of wood off. Made it easier to get to the insulation and install baffles.


Starting the insulation baffles


More insulation baffles.


The crusty old flashing on new wood. ew. Yes I have a new one.


Quitting time

no offense but that looks like a ghetto shelter.

that frame ain't gonna last a hurricane. that roof will be gone.

Plas - please take a look at this video of someone cutting in a valley on a comp roof. It's referred to as a 'California valley' and is a lot easier to do, and it removed the 'dog-ears' from the other style of cut that can capture water traveling down the valley, and divert it under the shingles and onto the underlayment.

Bascially, when you are laying the shingle down in a valley and it is going up the pitch on the other roof, you chalk a line down the valley and install bleeder shingles along the chalk line. As you are roofing the other side of the valley and those shingles come to the valley, you cut the shingle vertically that goes into the valley at the bleeder shingles.

You would be surprised at how many roof leaks my guys fix from improperly installing the shingles in a valley, and the installer not trimming back the dog-ear.

Im not sure about the mastic that applied down on the valley that their bleeder shingles rest over. This might be a snow thing.

he lives in ohio or iowa or something

no hurricanes

hope he has a tornado shelter tho

Thanks sam. Looks a lot easier. I'll try that in the valleys over the sun room.

No hurricanes here in the Midwest Denver. Hell, the old roof decking was held on by by a few smooth panel nails and long staples.

Because the frost line is 4-6 feet down, we all have basements. The safest place in a tornado is the basement, but they are spotty at best here.

Not much progress today. Windy as hell.

Managed to get the rest of the wood secured and screwed in place. Installed drip edge and some ice paper. Really too windy for one guy on a roof.


Cutting board is getting a workout.


This compressor has just been loyal. What a treat!


Quitting time.


Headed to the lake tomorrow, I need a day off!
