Keystone State Thread

Dude was literally giving me anxiety from his jaw slapping

 

Now he decided let's get the van inspected. Been sitting in line for the past 40mins.

 

If you get paid hourly enjoy the AC. Otherwise he's wasting your time and possibly jobs/money. Be polite, but at this point in my life if I'm not getting paid, I'm doing what I want to do.

 

So I was having my house's roof done, starting today. The truck unloaded the stuff at 7am and then an hour later the crew showed up only to leave because the boss told them they were off due to heat.

Bugger! I've been waiting for years to do this roof, and then I sign on with them and its like 9 weeks since I was told 4-6 weeks.

I understand, I don't want anyone dying at my house due to heat. I'd feel bad about that. But I still need a pity party over not getting the job started today. I was so excited.

 

I'm hourly but his ac is trash

 

Literally can't do shingles in this heat. You'll destroy them walking on them.

 

Just be glad your not Black Topping Or relining Furnaces or up on a dark roof.

 

Its going to be standing seam metal.

 

I think I'd walk away from doing metal in this weather as well. You'd burn yourself on every piece.

 

IMO, do the transfer case while your at it - drain, and fill to the hole.

The crush washers are technically "single use", but you'll be fine till they start to look like shit. Remove and inspect, use or replace depending on condition.

 

I wish I would've went this route when I did mine. Just went standard metal roof. I will say make damn sure it is all as square as can be made before laying the metal down. Otherwise, standing seam can look like shit. When done right though, much cleaner look imo.

That's what I was thinking as well. If I'm pulling skids, might as well do the whole shebang. Is it still 75-90? Any idea on capacity?

Kind of my thoughts on the crush washers, guess I'll grab a couple. If I don't use them, they'll be in the toolbox for next time.

 

Standing seam on my roof would require an entire roof rebuild..

It's 1.1qt for tcase of 75-90.

 

Gotta be a tough year for contractors in general trying to do anything resembling a schedule. Damn 'rona.

We had our metal roof 'touched up' a couple of years back, had to be the hottest 3 days of the year and those tough young guys were up there the whole time. Honestly if I was the boss I would have pulled them down and waited for better temperatures. Needless to say their tip included a couple of good, ice cold, brews.

 

I need a new roof sooner than later.

 

I was going to chime in, although others replied already...
I'd advise on changing all the fluids, even tho it'd require removal of one more skid plate (TC). Also, since crush washers are designed to be single use, I'd change them as well.
Use fluids/oils specified in your manual. BTW, be glad that you own a 2nd gen, as 3rd gen requires stupid expensive, and not so easy to get fluids.

Have fun

 

Oh yeah that looks good, will need to do some plastic trimming and possibly a CMC, but otherwise everything clears pretty good.

 

I’m not much of a farmer but my zucchini plant is finally producing.

 

I'm budgeting mine out to get done next year. I had a couple of leaks where the tar just dried up but I patched those with some through-the-roof. All tabs still intact, so should be fine for another 6-8 months.

I feel your pain

 

All this talk about the heat and a year ago we were camping and eating a bunch a meat.
