Well, I haven't received a response from the customer yet. I think she plans to put it off till spring, against my better advice because A) it just that much more snow melt that's going to seep into the roof structure and cause that much more damage, and B) because I really need the work :) I...

Thanks. I was looking at the Liberty system on you tube the other day and it does look pretty straight forward. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo3xpLVqqlQ I'll price the materials and run it by the customer, see what she thinks. Wish me luck!

Update, the customer is not bent on using the same material as the main roof, so I'm open to other options. Here's some pics of what I'm dealing with. The roof has almost no pitch at all, maybe 1" in 4' if that. It's a metal roof, or at least it used to be, with built-in gutter along the...

Thanks oldognewtrick. I guess I should have first asked which is better? The home owner wants the same thing she has on the main roof of the building, which is GAF Ruberoid torch-down white granule. It doesn't have to be the exact same brand but is must look the same and she wants the longest...

When I tear off the old roof I pretty much know what I'll find... 80 year old 1x sheathing (like old subfloor) that probably needs replaced in a...

Thanks Neal, that's just what I needed. The bad news is the article mentions some manufacturers recommend against using bleach, as it may eventually dry out any internal rubber seals. So my advice to the tenant to leave the bleach water in the system is some really bad advice. Well.. that's why...

Chris, you mentioned the stem being so long you would need a really deep socket. I use deep sockets from my 3/8" or 1/2" ratchet set and let the stem poke through the hole where the ratchet handle would normally go. Then use pliers to turn the socket. Spark plug sockets work well for this.

Hi all, I hope plumbing is the right forum to post this. A whirlpool tub in one of the rental units I manage is leaking what appears to be black mold from a couple of the jet outlets. The tenant in that unit runs bleach water through the system to clean it out, but it always comes back. She...
