Jim Baird Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 We don't need no stinkin' hot tar roofs now that we got these new metal sheets.

kurt Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 wow......that really is a thing of beauty. Anyone can do it, so anyone does.
davidmcg Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 If it's not an over use of caulk they end up using that rubber in a can or foam sealant. Keep these wonderful photo's coming....
Jim Baird Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Posted October 3, 2011 The IBC says you can use this kind of roof cover down to a half-unit in twelve if you seal the seams according to manufacturer. My rough calc found slope at one-third unit in twelve, if you ignore the general rise and fall across width and length, like deep water ocean swells. So much goo on top of this one I have no clue as to whether seams were sealed underneath. I told the client one word hovered in my mind re this job, "botch". Later, my check of an old aerial photo showed there used to be three brick chimneys projecting from this building's roof area, which explains those high, hard humps I noticed under the feet.
hausdok Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 I usually say something like, This roof? It's toast. That's a technical term, by the way." They get it. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike
