"John Gregory" - Chimney Flashing
- A friend asked me to examine the flashing on her chimney and give her an
assessment. The chimney needs tuck pointed and a few bricks are cracked;
mortar and silicon caulk will solve that problem. The flashing, however, has
pulled away from the brick. It appears that whoever did the last roof job,
didn't put the flashing in the mortar joint but simply affixed the flashing
to the face...

They have a tendency to do that - and just when we were getting up a
good head of steam, too. ;)

"Harry" - Re: Uses for old 2-liter bottles?
- It appears you have already discovered how to make a gravity bong
Have you tried recycling, they actually give you money for them. Then they
make them into Fleece sweaters and jackets and other stuff (like plastic
boxes to keep nails in). Now that's a good use.
What do I do with all those AOL CDs I get in the mail?

alt.building.engineering...my bad!)
I am building a patio cover. I am going to be using pre-engineered
trusses for the roof, which is a single hip roof, 4 in 12 pitch. I will
have a bit of snow load for a few weeks a year (maybe 2 feet maximum,
normally 1 foot or less), but nothing too out of control. This is a
perfect square...
