Just a few shingles off the house and garage so far. Oh, and a leak running down the chimney to the basement. Can’t fix that until spring. Flat and peak roof meet at chimney.Hey Zen, I’m around. All is okay here. Hope all is good on your end.
Mornin Zen!Just a few shingles off the house and garage so far. Oh, and a leak running down the chimney to the basement. Can’t fix that until spring. Flat and peak roof meet at chimney.
Waiting to hear from family across the country as they wake up.
Hope all was okay. Your last post about 6” water and still coming down was a bit ominous. Had a picture of you trapped on the she shed porch with water all round.
Moms on a river where that’s happened more than once.
Roofs are no joke. One wrong foot placement and there you go to the ground.Both of you should stay off your roofs and call a pro.
It is what I do everyday [ metal roofing] and no joke!
Hopefully you can get fixed up and move on.
No worries I won’t be crawling on the roof! I’ll be calling some roofing companies Monday. Any tips about metal roofs or roofers I should know?Both of you should stay off your roofs and call a pro.

If your roof is screw down metal you may just need new screws or to tighten the old ones back up. It is the rubber gromet that keeps it watertight.No worries I won’t be crawling on the roof! I’ll be calling some roofing companies Monday. Any tips about metal roofs or footers I should know?
Hang In there friend. We all have times like that. I just refuse to let it get the best of me and accept that all things happen for a reason. I learned long ago that it is on me if I chose to hitch up my britches (nicer than saying big girl panties, just thought I’d point that out) and move on, or lay down and wallow in it. We have the powerso happy for all those safe, so sad for those that truly lost.
We’ve been having what seems like day to day problems in our home for a month and have been getting depressed over it all but events like this truly put our minor issues into perspective. Things could be so much worse.
We are on the same page! Thanks much. It is a screw down and it does have those rubber, I call them o rings lol and the wind here for the past two months has been crazy! This roof is 18 years old, with that said, would you retighten or replace?I've been climbing around a 5 story slate roof all winter doing the metal details.
If the climb up don't kill you short cut coming down will.

Look at the edges for wind uplift. All edges require additional fastening. I see uplift and loose screws as the biggest issue with this type system.
I’m glad you’re okay! Thank goodness for the snow!Roofs are no joke. One wrong foot placement and there you go to the ground.
Shoveled off a few roofs from the snow storm recently and i fell off one of them, thankfully there was 4+ feet of snow to land in.
Ive put on prolly 400 shingled roofs and never fell until last week.
I landed on my feet thankfully, but the snow definitely helped with the landing cause it supported my legs from giving out and making me fall lol.I’m glad you’re okay! Thank goodness for the snow!
When I was 3, I caught my Mom not watching and I crawled a ladder up on a three story roof. My Dad was up there working. By the time I was made to put my arms around his neck and come down the ladder on his back, I was completely broke of roofs! Have not been atop of one since!I landed on my feet thankfully, but the snow definitely helped with the landing cause it supported my legs from giving out and making me fall lol.
I remember as a kid i used to jump off roofs into the snow, now at only 26 i dont even wanna go up there anymore lmao.
wow, that would prolly do it for me too. Roofs are scary lol.When I was 3, I caught my Mom not watching and I crawled a ladder up on a three story roof. My Dad was up there working.
