Yeah, I get what you mean—mushroom vents are a step up from nothing, but they’re not magic. I’ve seen the same thing with winter condensation, especia...
I get where you’re coming from—people hear “Class 4” and think their roof’s invincible, but hail’s gonna leave a mark no matter what. I put on impact-...
I get where you're coming from, but honestly, even if the decking *seems* solid, putting another layer on top just feels like kicking the can down the...
