    Big shout out from NY, the big guy left a clause that states us single handy men can still work on whatever (I did check and make sure with the health dept), but the sheriff just sent out an advisory that only essential work. So well, plumbing and electrical jobs here I come. Sadly I wish I could charge half of what you charge, then maybe I could take time to do the things around that need to be done. Oh well, The Big Man upstairs takes care of me, so who am I to complain. Love the videos here and on the HB channel keep them coming.

    I had a client call me a couple of years ago when Nor Cal was getting hit with a lot of rain. He had bought a can of the roll/paint on for a skylight above his music shop. I loved it from the very beginning, easy to use and works great. Doesn't dry out a quickly as the Henry's. I have used the spray can for my camper trailer roof. As far as keeping busy, we are are still allowed to do essential repairs and work inside essential places of business. So I have been staying somewhat busy with emergency services like plumbing leaks or code enforcement repairs. At home, finally getting to all the routine maintenance projects I tell my clients they should be doing and organizing the shop.

    Hey Handyman, I fixed a shingle roof on a rental(I’m the tenant) in Florida with the tape and spray on top and it lasted the 8 months I had left on my lease during the rainy season. Would not recommend long term but it kept us dry since the landlord wouldn’t fix it.

    We have a sod turf grass sales business. Landscaping is considered a critical industry here in Georgia, plus with all the folks stuck at home, homeowners are ordering sod to complete an item on their honey do lists. So we're swamped with sales at the moment. When we have time from that, I'm remodeling our master bath/bedroom, repairing some electrical and changing out the ceiling fan in the living room, building additional shelving in the basement storage room for my wife and putting up a shiplap walls and vinyl plank flooring in my man cave/visitor bedroom, completing insulating, running electrical and putting up plywood walls in the rest of the basement for a woodshop and finally, when that's all done, I'll install a bathroom in the basement (plumbing is already run). As a side job, we're putting up a country style fence outside to keep our nearly grown labrador retriever teenagers from wandering the neighborhood.

    dear lord that flat roof needs a lot of love. it needs about 2 full days of labor love. pressure washing the crap off, roofing cement and fiber tape all seams and parapet wall seams and stacks. come back following day and silver coat that entire thing. come back following day and do 2nd silver coat. come back and maybe even do 3rd silver coat. that chimney needs a lot of love too. it always baffles me when property owners neglect their flat roofs. torch down modified bitumen flat roofs are tough cookies, but they require love every 3-5 years. treat them right (ie keep seams sealed and silver coated to prevent UV rot), and they can last decades.

    How has this flexshot & flexseal worked over the months you have done this repair? Is it really “that good”, as I’ve never used & kinda afraid to. Usually go with caulking tubes with roofing “tar” along with exterior caulk & use flashing etc...to repair siding & roof leaks. Never have used the flexseal products & am curious to know if they really do work & “last”.
    Would be nice to see an update vid from this vid too see just how well it’s doing.

    I am installing a Bamboo floor in an empty house. Not mine. Flooring was ordered before the shut down. Nobody is home, so in it goes. I've never taken so much time and carefully measured each angle so much. It's like I don't want to finish too early and have to go home to sit around.

      That sounds like a great way to stay busy. Is it a nail in place flooring?

    Hey Handyman! Are you going to put the galvanized parapet wall panels? or is that something you only do when installing new roofing? I'd be interested in seeing footage of that if you are including this with your repair! thanks!

    In Ohio there is no enforcement of so called Essential labor or repairs. Neighbors are having decks built, landscapers are cutting grass and outdoor workers are not wearing face masks or any social distancing control. I have temporarily closed my Handyman business due I do not want to enter homes and I will stay closed till end June or longer. The projects I am doing at home is repairing one wall then painting, installing a AFCI GFCI circuit breaker, planting flowers and grass. seeding, mulching , laying pavers, installing more smoke and carbon monoxide detectors since new code wants each bedroom to have one, building a wood frame to prevent large garbage bin and recycling bin from blowing over, from high wind gust. And cleaning and organizing garage , basement and shed. I am now tied just thinking about all this work!

      Same here. I've actually begun propagating vegetables from salad scraps to keep my mind occupied & sane. Digging through old seed packets too ~ all are being sprinkled around the yard to see what comes up.

    i have used flex seal on my camper roof and what i found is that the sun breaks it down and it turns to powder, so i would not use it for roof repairs

    Metal screen and a hose clamp will take care of your bee problem. What have I been doing? Building shop stuff... chopping wood... installed a gate at the bottom of my driveway to keep the nosy neighbors out. Shooting randomly when they drive by so they know I mean it.

    I'm wondering how can I repair my riif,but it's a different roof from the ones you have on your videos. My house is in a caribbean sea island and the roof is made if cememt,not wood. It has cracks from 3 hurricanes and it leaks water when it rains. Hiw cam I repair it myself because it will cost me too much to get a company to do it for me. Can you give me Amy ideas?

    I used some flex seal on a vent on my roof that was leaking a couple of days ago. I stuck a WD40 straw in it to work with it. Had to do the work on the underside of a gable roof that had a huge pitch. So far so good
