maybe?
Metal roofing has come a long way. Especially for residential neighborhoods. So has insulating material. The biggest downside is that they cost a pretty penny to do right. On the upside, they are strong and last for many years. Timber frame applications have great examples of insulation for open living spaces.
metal roofs will likely outlast the house
Went to the lake yesterday because it's an amazing out now, got back into it this afternoon.
This fucking stack.

Slapped another row of paper down, and continued up with the plan of flopping the other paper over the new shingles. I've got 4 vent holes I need to address before getting to the peak, and didn't have time for it today before the rains tonight.
The original vent holes
Too dark for pictures when I was finished with tarps and moving shingle bundles around to hold paper and tarps down. Should be a quick cold front tonight with most of the rain hitting Tehvul. Maybe 1/4 of an inch here.

Yeah why pay 3 times as much for something that will last 5 times as long.
Hillbilly math is easy.
Indeed. It's a very low bar. Plasmatic couldn't get much lower if he parachuted out of a snakes ass.

silicone that shit
No need.silicone that shit
That looks like an 2" Oatey PJ flashing. The neoprene collar is designed to fit tightly against the plumbing pipe. Prime it and paint it to protect against the sun. As long as the neoprene is covered with paint, it should last for a long ass time. In 20 years or so, you can install a new neoprene collar directly over it.
Ill post some pictures in a little bit of them.
*edit - wait, is that a copper pipe? That looks like copper. If it is copper, the neoprene might not be fitting tightly. Was there any resistance when you slid the thing down? It needs to be tight. It looks like you didn't pull the tab off to fit the 2" which probably just saved you from having to use to flashband or caulking.

Ok, now that I am done with what I was doing...
The flashing you are using looks like it has size tabs on the inside of the ring. This allows you to buy 1 flashing and use it for the 3 most common size pipe jacks we find: 1", 1.5" and a 2". It looks like you did not pull the tab for a 2" jack which was perfect.
The neoprene is designed to fit tightly against the pipe but you problem is the outside diameter of a copper pipe is less than that of a PVC pipe. Enough that if you did pull the tab, it wouldn't fit and nothing would work but to replace the jack.
Standard Oatey jack but an older model. This jack doesn't have the size tabs on it.
It's important to make sure that the neoprene is covered with exterior paint. The best exterior paint that I have my guys use is an elastomeric based paint. Shit is thick and does wonders on neglected stucco walls, or important flashings like the top of the chimney chase cap/pan. If, however, you do not paint the neoprene collar on the flashing, the sun will eat it up in about 10 years or so. Might be different where you live where you kinda get the sun.
This is what it will look like when the sun is able to get to it. Yes, this 1 is painted but painters will paint over anything - dry rot included - which they did here.
In the image above, someone slid down a different but thicker collar over this Oatey jack. This, however, wont do shit for the rest of the neoprene collar like we saw, as the collar was toast down to the flashing so, you need an oversized 1.
This oversized collar was installed on the jack I showed 2 pictures up. This unpainted collar will fit over the entire preinstalled collar on the Oatey. Notice that the tabs were not pulled on this one, so it is fitting tightly against the pipe. These are what you will want should anything happen to your pipe jack flashings.
Awe... nice and neat. No leaky for you.

stick your dick in the pipe.
A 3" pipe? WTF is that thing hooked up to?
