As I learned in my late teens as an apprentice….. One person’s common sense, is another’s nonsense.

Definitely would've like to have seen how that boot goes on. I imagine it just slides over the existing boot and acts like a "roof" to the existing boot ?
No hail damage, thats wear and tear. Lomanco slant back 750 vents are soft metal, they will ding and leave dents easy, I didnt even see any dents in them, just faded. So no collateral damage means no hail damage to roof. Most of that damage was done during install because of pitch and over the seasonal periods those loose granule areas created during install eventually wash away. Hence what you see all over that roof. Sometimes these areas of concern with the loss of granules is prone to valleys, around chimney flashing and high traffic areas. NOW let me rant on the pipe boot situation. The other contractor tarped the boots and covered them up? That is a ton of work for nothing??!! Customers do this all the time, they just dont do research and simple due diligent. Brian good opportunity to take these small repairs and make a good repair check. Leads boots are $30-40 those shitty ass plastic base and rubber seal are $5 for a reason, those reseals wont last but a few years and start to crack again. Show them the difference to their face. I make my customers hold the lead boots and I show them I form them and I let them touch the water repellent snythetic underlayment and they ALWAYS PAY. (those difference in quality is a no brainer). BUT if you got squirrels that can be a new problem, hahha. That repair 1sq of shingles, 3 lead boots (painted to match, w/roof accessory paint) w/labor and O&P, $600 for that repair. That customer is lucky they found you! lets go live friday. If you have gone live, im not getting notifications anymore.
Knowing that you provided a link to get those boots, made me realize the best way to "save" this video is to make a Playlist for myself. That made me realize that not only can I support your videos by purchasing through your Amazon affiliate link, but I can make my Playlist public, allowing others to find your channel and help it grow. Now, I'll have to spend some time adding more videos to my new Playlist... thanks Brian!
I have a problem with my roof. It was reroofed a few years ago, and it resulted in a leak around the dormer window, and a horrible smell in the attic bedroom every time it rains. There was also a hefty wind blowing through the small loft space (accessible via a hatch in the attic bedroom ceiling). I recently had some roofing contractors out to do a number of things, including searchingly for the leak and repairing it. As it turned out, there were three holes that were found, two at the edges of the window:s lead and the other was where the roof felt beneath the tiles had a big gap from not being fitted properly. They fixed everything they found. It rained not long after the repairs were done, and the smell, which I'm led to believe is black mold, returned, as it always happened before. We've since had a windy rainstorm. The wind was blowing through the loft space again, although nowhere near as bad as before they fixed the holes. I was told this might be ok on account of breathable felt. But the smell was there with a vengeance again. I'm at a loss as to what to do about it :(
The water heater is probably a power vent unit - the intake isn’t through the pipe, just the exhaust. The limited exhaust might be what leads to the water heater having a malfunction, but that’s hard to say. Your getting the air flowing again will either fix the problem or the problem is unrelated, so you did the best you could do for that.
Okay but if it's 2 AM on a weeknight and you have no money for a professional roofer, seems like a good solution until the rain passes and you can climb up there with some caulk during the weekend.
The HVAC will behave exactly as you described - it will try to start up, determine that the intake air is restricted, and then shut off as a safety measure.
I built a house about 15 years ago and now I am working on another big project. I've noticed a big drop off in the availability of quality contractors. I know I'm a one off project so maybe I can't get the good people but it is really frustrating.
Love all your videos brian. Keep it up 👍🏼 do you have an email I can reach you and ask a question. You were trying to have a q&a live today Friday but wasn’t working the greatest. Thanks in advance!
Some of the folks down in Florida could probably use best practice tarping videos right now.
You do a great show Brian, thanks man.
I hate when someone tarps a roof! Nice of that other contractor to tarp the water heater pipe and poison the family below. 👪

Yes it simply slides right down over it. I did do a video in the past on it I'll see if I can't find the link to it.

@@GrandRoofingInc thanks Brian 👍
You can't fix people , its common sense , I don't see how people like that get jobs
"Simple common sense" 😂😂😂

I'll be gone friday. My brother's and I are taking my dad camping. If we have a good cell signal I'll try for a few minutes.

you said its common sense, but my friend, common sense is not so common sadly
Not nowadays anyways. Too many people are too lazy to think for themselves.

Can I nail down the tarp with Tyvek house wrap capped nails maybe with some roofing cement on bottom and top?

Hey. I was born in Kokomo!
Where do you live now?
Damn bud. You sure are good with your skills. Nice work
is it acceptable to staple the tarp onto the deck though?
Thanks for the education, as always.
Very good helpful information
WTF!......for pipe boot failure?.....absolutely insane way of dealing with the problem.....very simple fix.....
Good morning boss thanks
Great video as always
good video bud.

Bad ol’ fashion nail damage. It looks like job security for someone. 😂😂

That does not look good 😳 could cause all sorts of dangerous problems 😳. Good job you are sorting it out 👍👍
Lowe's in the western PA area carry the Oatey rain collars in two sizes, if that helps anyone.
Imagine one of the guys doing this shoddy work stumbling across your videos. I wonder how they react 🤔
Judging by their work, I don't think they would know what to do.
Great sweaty day
