RE: How I dodged a payday loan disaster
That’s wild - insurance fine print is a whole different language sometimes. Did you have to deal with any moisture getting in before you patched it up? I’ve seen some folks get unlucky with hidden leaks after storms. Gre...
RE: Little-known uses for that hammer loop on your belt
Funny you mention ditching the thigh straps - I tried that for a while, but I kept catching the hammer loop on gutter brackets and it drove me nuts. On steep roofs, I’ve actually started using the loop for my moisture me...
RE: Torch-down roofs: saw a news piece about fire risks - thoughts?
That install day stress is real - I've seen more than a few folks pacing the yard while the torches are out. Did your crew use fire blankets or just go old-school careful? I always tell people, torch-down can be super re...

That’s a pretty common workaround, honestly. I’ve seen folks use that combo and get a couple more seasons out of old flashing, especially on sheds or garages. Did you notice any issues with water getting behind the tape ...
RE: Thinking about installing leaf filters - worth the hype or waste of cash?
That’s the story for a lot of folks with pines, honestly. Even the pricier guards can’t keep everything out. Still, if you’re tired of constant cleanouts, even a little less ladder time is a win. Just gotta weigh if the ...
RE: Which is better for keeping tile roofs dry: underlayment or sealant?
