Re: I forget which????
You'll have to pardon the mess. I'd open up and start, then the sun would go and another heavy shower would move in. In the cleat pic, yopu can see water in the valley. Hardly had time to do anything between showers.

Re: I forget which????
In the first pic, the step is contoured to fit the valley perfectly,, Then, I added another like term flashing, also cut to fit. Solder isn't necessary on something like this. THe water is coming form the outlet above. Took 5 days to do 23 hours of work. Rained every 20-40 minutes.
Because there is a butt joint 6" from the corner, I added a bib, under the valley, and under the shingle, over the joint. A dab of glue under the tab, and under the metal at the joint. The water has an unrestricted flow around the corner. The roof didn't leak at all while underway, felt loose laid over the fitted valley, and mostly open. Was leaking steady with the original roof and the next 2-3 repairs. |

Re: I forget which????
When I run into lightening rods, I disassemble them, mark from top and sides, make a small hole and slide the shingle down the rod. AFTER putting a wad of caulk there. I repeat the process for all layers, then, cut a washer to fit, and bed it in caulk too. I guess that makes me a bucket roofer, eh?
Just anothe rview. It was a small area, starting about 7-8 feet below the corner, and reinstalled the vent. And other shingles, over to the hip/ridge area. The shingles had to be chiseled from the I&W. That stuff is on the whole house. |

Re: I forget which????
Here's something interesting. The caulk around the vent trashed the shingles.
I liked the little water trap detail another roofer did on both top corners of the vent. In hurricane country, I add a bit of caulk before each step-flashing to hinder any blown water. M_D thinks the whole area needs 2 buckets of cement to survive. I have anothe rhouse on the shore in Nags Head with NO underlay of any kind, other than the oak boards. 16 years and no leaks. Not even by Isabelle. |
