Both vents of this roof were done the same way. There are plastic bags stuffed in under the blanket. From inside the attic there is no sign of leaks.

Both vents of this roof were done the same way. There are plastic bags stuffed in under the blanket. From inside the attic there is no sign of leaks.

So, if you're like most inspectors in my area you wrote: "roof performing as intended" or " appears serviceable" followed by " better than average quality materials used throughout" and "kitchen cabinets have high grade hardware".

The plastic bags should be on the outside to keep the blanket dry. It will perform much better, keeping the house nice and warm. Recommend periodic inspection, like after every rain.

To be honest I don’t think my customer was concerned with it or really saw it as a problem. The house is a foreclosure in a bad neighborhood. The a/c has been stolen, the neighbor has a pile of trash in the back yard the size of a car & there were bigger fish (problems) to fry then these vents. I’ll just make a statement to have the things properly installed. I don’t think they’ll buy the house anyway.

Just goes to prove that damn near anything will work for a little while.

It's the "what happens after a little while" part that matters.

Copious amount of duc tape would help??? How about some bailing wire? Bigger roasting pans to catch drippings.[:-banghea

You just gotta love inspecting foreclosures in questionable neighborhoods.

I would recommend to use paper towel picker upper and hefty or glad the heavy duty plastic bags. isn't this the code?
