Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
General BS forumI guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much.
Just had the new roof installed on the house. Pretty expensive undertaking. And now I have Connie giving me that "I told you so" about taking down that live oak tree overhanging the porch and part of the house roof. That is what caused the most severe damage with the metal roof panels rusting through. Fortunately the leaks were only in the soffit area, and not into the living quarters. Two of the wooden deck panels had to be replaced as well as some of the structure underneath those panels. So not too bad.
The county came out to do an inspection, since a permit needed to be pulled, and all the guy did was to walk around the yard looking at the roof from ground level. He said "looks pretty tight", and that ended the inspection.
The roofing company caused a leak in the roof overhanging the porch at one of the seams between the metal panels. When we had some trees removed, the tree guys hit the edge of that same roof, putting a gouge in it and causing a leak at the seam closest to that gouge. They had a guy come out and "fix" it by putting peel and stick take over the gash and over the seam. Not sure what the roofing company has in mind, but I think it's going to look like hell with the patches being done. I asked the guy to give me a price (at a substantial discount because of their doing damage) for resealing the entire porch roof. There is a pretty good chance that the other seams will spring leaks sooner or later, since the roofers used that flatter roof as a work area while working on the house roof.
But that is pretty much par for the course, It is VERY rare that we have people do any work for us that they don't wind up screwing up something else in the process. Must be a local law or something.
I had my roof done by a co worker about 6 years ago. I have a 3 story colonial (hence why I had someone else do it)
I had to put in for permit but never called for them to inspect it. One day this old guy shows up. He said why didn't you call? I said I did about 2 months ago
He says, Oh. He had to walk over almost 2 houses to see roof. He asked if I had any leaks. I said no.
He said OK and handed me a slip of paper and left.
