roof membrane: Skippy will've skipped, before the water starts to drip. - 10/06/12 11:28 PM
Skippity Do Da …Skippity De Day…..
Skippy will've skipped, before the water starts to drip.  (This is #1 in a series on a single flipped house.)
 

 
Well…we don’t know that ‘Skippy” did it, but Skippy’s tag is on the equipment.
That equipment of this flipped property is on the roof (and a few other places), and that’s where we find ‘It’.
 
So on the roof we have this installed. The refrigerant lines pierce the roof membrane flashing and counter flashing right at the wall to roof joint. That's too low and this will leak, admitting water to the house.

Usually I'm presenting an aspect of home maintenance, value improvement or 'how too' instructions to feature best practice ways to do things around building and property issues. Some times it's building tech history or how thing came to be as they are, the back story on terms, expressions and phrases. I keep track of the strange, the unique, the special and interesting things I get to see, including the dangers. These are filed as OMGs. OMGs always have photos, so I share the file with you from time to time. The rest come out of thin air. More than once I start writing a comment on someone else's blog and end up inking a whole new blog. Am I inspired or am I ranting? You can decide.
