88 Comments on How NOT To Flash A Chimney, Or A Roof
Wow! Your pictures really tell the stiory and putting it to song really did the trick. I'm sure I will be thinking about flashing all day.
Okay, it's only 8am, the sun is trying to come out from behind some dark rain clouds and I've got "Paint it Black" stuck in my head. Jay - come up with a new song ....please!
See this in older roofs here. People do what ever to stop the rain. Sometimes it works. Sometimes not.
Well Jay, thanks for the "ear worm". But you are absolutely right about getting a home inspection!
Love the song, Jay! When I see that stuff, I have "TAR! Huh! What is it good for? Absolutely nuthin'!" going through my head.
Great post. What about the leaky Skylight scenario? Especially the retrofitted ones. LOL!
Flashing? We don't need no flashing. Flashing is just something extra to spend money on... (I say jokingly) People and their roofs...I am sure you see it all.
Derrick - I was just as shocked and disappointed as you are... ;>)
John - it will work forever! Let's hope anyway.
Woody - I'd go with a Rolling Stones guitar, with kind of a dark twang to it.
Marshall - I have more rock and roll in my head than I care to admit.
ROCK Realty - you HAD to love my song! And the pictures aren't bad either.
Rachel - I don't know about their money situation, be we all want to do things as inexpensively as possible. Nice photo by the way! College?
Lyn - that was plop, plop, fizz, fizz! I really like Fizzies too!
Sylvie - the sun's UV rays deteriorates that unprotected tar quickly. I bet it doesn't last long in Flagstaff!
Warren - pictures like that saved my client thousands of dollars, for sure!
Dana - and singing the song? Not the Stones' words, but mine!
Suzi - sorry about that. How's this song? http://activerain.com/blogsview/2439712/seven-ways-to-kill-your-dryer
Bill - stopping the rain is the objective, but not like this!
Jon - glad you enjoyed it! Including the ear worm!
Julie - you don't look old enough for that song to come to your head, my dear! Now I remember it from high school!
John - I see tar all around skylights too!
Karen - every time I think that I see something new!
As usual excellent advice
Greetings from Innerloop Houston, Texas
Bob what about that spray on crap they are selling on TV. Seems to me I could get a few cans and just spray my entire roof!
Thank you Linda! We are here nearly every day!
Gene - it would have taken a zillion cans of that stuff! And that canned thing isn't as good as this tar!
Hmmm...that chinmey looks very similar to a chimney on ahouse my buyer bought last summer, lol.
Looks like someone bought a 5 gallon bucket of the stuff and didn't want it to go to waste.
Jay - this is common practice here in New York. The diyer's think that it's a better long lasting fix. For many home owners duct tape, tar, and spray foam is the cure all.
Hi Jay, great post. I can almost count on every inspection having an issue with flashing and/or vents.
Justin - yeah, but that one had a bunch of concrete too!
Robert - you sure it was only one bucket?
Eric - and fine products all! But not here...
Bob - that's because people see things on TV and think they can do it themselves!
Good post. I had a tenant move out and they tried to fix their damage with that poly foam stuff. That was a new one for me.
Not good Wayne! That stuff is not meant for outdoors, as the sun destroys it. Great when tenants try to take care of stuff!
