InspectorD, the roofing God, handyguys, CraigFL Perhaps this photograph will explain my situation a little more. InspectorD's advice to not replace since it is not leaking is likely good advice. In my earlier posts I described my flat (much flatter than this) front porch roof. This link is...

to handyguys .. I am thinking I should do it myself. One of the roofers did say that my roof was in good shape. It does not leak. to the roofing god .. Is it worth my time using a heat gun to take off some of the existing black stuff over the metal?

to CraigFL The roof is close to flat, but certainly enough slope that it doesn't have low spots that won't drain.

Our front porch roof is a black material over galvanized steel. We have not had leaks but the steel is showing through and we need to cover it. It is about 25 ' by 14'. Two proposals from roofers have been to scrape and cover with some kind of gunk ($525) or cover with shingles ($1150). I...

Im looking at a product from Daich Coatings ( www.daichcoating.com ) called Roller Rock that is advertised to give a textured slip-resistant finish that I am interested in applying to my front porch steps. I found after my first winter in Canandaigua that those steps become very slippery with...

To InspectorD ..... The foundation conditions are highly variable in this area. I guess depending on what the glaciers did. Sometimes they deposited and sometimes scraped. I'm on a high point at the north side of the lake. The area where the original settlers wouldn't worry about flooding, but...

I've got a circa 1840 home with the back half over a crawl space. The foundation is made of field stone. Although I don't know what it is set on it is very solid. Through the years a variety of solutions have been applied to level up the floor, but now I wish to do something more unified...

Well, I will post photographs. I guess that it is just as easy as using the "insert image" icon, but I guess that I need to convert the photographs to small files. I can do that. Or do I use the "Manage Attachments" under "Attach Files?" I am thankful that previous owner took the...

I've got the good luck of having bricks that originally paved a nearby street, that is I've got four or five hundred square feet of them (8 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch side up, 4 inches deep). The previous owner of my home used them to cover the floor of the garage and an area in front of the garage...
