RE: Which is better for camera rigs: gimbal stabilizers or manual shoulder mounts?
That’s exactly it. I tried using a gimbal once while filming a roof inspection after a hailstorm - thought I’d look all pro, but ended up fighting with the thing more than actually shooting. The shoulder rig might not be...
RE: Quick fixes for sudden roof leaks - what actually works?
Had a similar experience with spray-on stuff - worked great until the first Texas thunderstorm, then it was like I’d never touched it. Honestly, nothing I’ve tried lasts more than a storm or two unless you can get things...

RE: Confused about insurance deductibles for storm damage
That double deductible sting is rough... been there myself after a tornado and then a hailstorm the next week. You nailed it with the organized records - adjusters definitely take you more seriously when you come in prep...
