Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

flashing you say? Can you make me a new one of these?



I may or may not have came in too hot one day.

 

Easy peasy

 

Good. I’m getting smack talk from the misses about it “looking like shit”...the wood behind it is fine. Probably would need to do the top and other side to make them match and new garage door seal.

I’ll PM you later and see what can be done. Might have you ride over and take a look at it.

 

Oh I think I know the stuff you are talking about. In the residential side we have a sticky weatherproofing like that which takes the place of the old tar paper. Just it's a lot more cost and people shy away. Even though it's a 10x better product.

If it's not at least a 3:12 even for metal it isn't steep enough really. You need more of a commercial product for the under 3 pitch roofs. But since he did that he'd be able to put that on.

 

Ice and water shield!! Worth its weight in gold.. a bitch to work with if it sticks before you want it to. and the metal will work just add a layer of ice and water shield and if it’s completely completely flat after deck fixes you can add a quick layer of tapered iso to give it a slope @SearArtist

 

Won't fly when he goes to sell if the home inspectors pick it up. Against code my friend. Even with the ice and water shield it can still have issues. Just redid a house that had it less than 5 yrs we redid the roof pitch to gain what was needed to shed the water properly and got new metal for it.

 

Weird, we just finished a house in plaza mid wood here in CLT where we had to do that across the whole house to get proper pitch, it’s really no different than saying you want to add R value for energy purposes it’s fastened to the deck and and the proper application for it they gave us no issues getting a building permit after we got them on the phone

 

It passed inspection to be built so it must have enough slope. Which isn’t much. There is no way to raise or lower it to add more pitch.

 

Your talking about the structure now and those guys make a whole lot more money than me to give that little “seal” or approval as long as it’s not huge tapered iso will work and won’t kill your wallet big tapered systems get wildly expensive because it can be 14” deep at the top and2” at the bottom to create the proper slope

 

I failed a framing inspection because we used hurricane ties and structural lags on the roof trusses. Inspector never saw it before and freaked out and failed. Had to call reschedule and get someone that knew what it was to see. Even showing the inspector in the building details which were approved didn't get us a pass the initial go.
R905.4.2 Metal roofing shall not be installed on roofs with below 3 units vertical to 12 units horizontal. With no caveats
If you used the foam to get up to a 3/12 then you were fine which is why they allowed it. As long as the proper venting and moisture checks were done then it isn't a problem. I'm pro moving the insulation to the outside anyways it's dumb to do it any other way.

Shingles can now go down to 2/12. (personally I barely trust them on a 3/12).

 

How old???

 

I think they did it back in 2005

 

Lots changed they are now using 2018 IBC back then it was like 2002 or 3 IBC. Just because it passed then doesn't mean it's still skookum today. Certain things are not grandfathered in and you either have to update, use products that "bridge the gap", or just don't touch. Some of it is asinine and a little too nit picky for my taste.

 

im not concerned about it. I’ll probably leave it as is and let it become the next owners problem.

 

Bullet dodged @SearArtist lol!!!

 

huh? I’m not following you

 

Did you guys use some sort of sealant between the sheets??? apparently with a specific sealant if the roofing manufacturer has the ability you are allowed to go as low as .5/12. This is why I hate building code because initially it states what I posted with no notation of caveats or asterisk pointing to another section for exceptions. I decided to read further well yep you can complete contradiction and you are right. But there are some stricter guidelines to the underlayment like you mentioned.

 

Yea give me all the pitch! Sheds water way faster, just better all around.. that must be a residential code? I wouldn’t have know that, commercial metal building is minimum 1/8” per foot. If it was 3” you would have some huge gables on 500k+ square ft buildings

 

Standing seam metal prevents the need for the additional sealant once you put regular ice and water to the deck and foam board iso the panel sits on a clip and gets locked to the standing seams and end of story, no screws, the onlyreal vulnerability would be top sealant on the flashing at the tie in and gutter edge

 

Well he does live in a house so yeah residential code applies not commercial

I hate commercial especially with all the parapet walls and stuff that are just a water leak waiting to happen. You're exactly right about the sheer size of the roofs and if you had to make the pitches that we do.
