I had another roofer to check out the work on my roof...he basically told me what y'all already sais plus extra. The Timberline 30 archtectual shingles where installed incorrectly...he was explaining to me why but he lost me there:-( He also mentioned that they used a nailgun to attach the shingles...he could tell they shot through several shingles across the roof.He wasn't sure if he could do a cricket behind the chimney because of the low slope.The skylights need to be redone as well.I will include a few close ups off the work they done...don't laugh Download Attachment: 1030054.JPG 450.93 KB Download Attachment: 1030055.JPG 430.18 KB Download Attachment: 1030057.JPG 419.7 KB

Can anyone give me some tips to get parts for my Rheem Hvac unit? My installer says they are fading older units out and it is hard to find parts This unit is from march 2001 Model: RQKA-A036JK 015 Serial: 5617F090110918 thanks Ron

I am not a fellow inspector...I hope I did not hack this forum as a non inspector...all i want is some information and y'all been a great help. I will write down some of the information that you gave me and i think the smartest way to go about this is take mr.Judds advice and try to contact a county engineer or a code enforcement officer....I live in Glynn County,Georgia...I will try and find me one. If not I can find one of your fellowinspectors locally to help me out. thanks again Ron van Velzen

Thanks for all the feedback guys...it is really appreciated!!1 Below some pictures after they "fixed" it this afternoon, I could not stay myself but I took pictures when I came back. Notice the caulk around the skylight...if it rains where does the water go? Any advice on what to do with that part of the roof is welcome Download Attachment: DSCN0916.JPG 389.12 KB Download Attachment: DSCN0917.JPG 405.41 KB Download Attachment: DSCN0918.JPG 403.45 KB

The majority of my house has a 3/12 pitch but where my chimney and skylights are it is unfortunately under 2/12. I had several leaks and I hired somebody to put new shingles on my roof with 2 new skylights to replace the old "bubbels" in november 2004. It is now almost 1 year and they had to come back 9 times after every good shower because of leaks between the chimney and the skylights. I know it is stupid but I did some research afterwards and I found out that on a roof with a pitch under 2/12 you are not supposed to install shingles but use roll roofing and torch it on...he should have told me that or not? Also I found out that the skylights he installed from velux were not suppose to be installed on a roof with a pitch lower than 15 degrees...that is 3/12.. Anybody any ideas of who is responsible for this mess....i'm sick of leaks in my livingroom thanks Ron
