RE: Florida 2026 corrosion rules: patch flashing or replace it?
The investigation allowance should include a defined stop-work threshold, not just a dollar amount. For example, the contractor could document that work pauses for approval if the exposed area shows perforation beyond th...
RE: Which is better for camera rigs: gimbal stabilizers or manual shoulder mounts?
Battery anxiety with gimbals is real - been there more times than I’d like to admit. I’ve started carrying a small power bank and a short USB cable just in case, but it’s not foolproof. Shoulder rigs are definitely more ...
RE: How often do you actually get your business roof checked?
Twice a year is pretty much the baseline I recommend too, but honestly, after any severe weather event, it’s smart to do a quick inspection - especially in the Midwest where you can get hail one week and a windstorm the ...
RE: Anyone else tried those mushroom-style roof vents on sheds?
I’ve seen a lot of creative snow-blocking setups over the years - garden edging, plywood, even old tarps bungeed around the base. It’s funny how we all end up improvising just to keep those mushroom vents from getting bu...
RE: Making sure the deck’s ready for underlayment - what’s your process?
I get where you’re coming from about checking the attic first - critter damage is no joke. Still, I’d argue that relying too much on the attic view can sometimes give a false sense of security. You mentioned: That’s s...
RE: Which is better for camera rigs: gimbal stabilizers or manual shoulder mounts?
I’ve run into the same thing with gimbals on steep roofs, especially after storms when I’m trying to document hail hits or missing shingles. The tech is impressive, but once you’re dealing with gloves, wind, and cold bat...
RE: When sparks fly: imagining a wildfire-proof neighborhood
In my experience, foam panels under metal roofs do help with rain noise, but hail’s a different story. The panels dampen some of the sharpness, but when you get big hail, you’ll still hear it - just maybe not as painfull...
RE: New Discussion
Leak detection under green roofs is a real headache. I tried a conductive mesh system once, thinking it’d be foolproof, but the readings were all over the place after a heavy rain - couldn’t tell if it was a leak or just...
