RE: just read about roof issues popping up after winter - are you checking yours?
- Crawling up there myself saves a ton - no drone or pro fees, but yeah, my nerves are shot every time I hear a creak. - Did you find patching those dips is even worth it, or does it mean bigger trouble? - Anyone tri...
RE: Feeling good about my switch to composite tiles - worth it?

- Had a similar issue last summer after a big storm knocked down my fence. - Thought I'd just replace it myself to save cash, but neighbor mentioned permits. - Called city hall and turns out, yep, needed inspection even ...
