the underlayment - crack? Shingles are soo cheap - and even an idiot
like me can slap them on. Save the Hardiboard and get some shingles.

w_tom - Re: Insulating Underground Pipes
- 18 inches is not sufficient for any pipes with water. Pipes
typically should be 3 feet under for reliability, human
safety, and pipe protection (even from rodents) as well as to
insulate the pipes. Insulation only 18 inches down makes a
perfect nest for rodents. Pipes should also be installed so
that if the heat is turned off, pipes will not freeze. 18
inches is not sufficient fo...

elliott.plack@gmail.com - Insulating Underground Pipes
- I have been helping my aunt excavate her back yard, in order to expose
hot water pipes, that run about 30 feet from the house to the garage.
Both the hot water heater and the natural gas boiler are in the garage.
The pipes are not insulated and are just about 18 inches below grade,
in Cambridge, Maryland (8 feet above sea level). Last year's heating
bills were astronomical, and my Aunt t...
