Thanks for nothing

[Nancy Young]

I just thought I'd blab my tale of woe.

A number of years ago, I had my roof replaced along with the skylights (of course). The previous ones were those square acrylic bubble types, the new ones, rectangular and glass.

This left framing work to be done on the inside. Called a guy, he took care of it, sheetrocked it, thanks.

(sigh) New skylights, one of them has a leak. Can't pinpoint it for anything, and there is no rhyme or reason when it would leak. Frustrating, to say the least.

Finally called this guy who advertises No More Leaks, I think that's the name of his company. Older German/Polish? guy he got up there with some expensive roof stuff (I read about it somewhere, it's not really available to the public and it's hundreds of dollars a roll if you could get it. I digress.)

The source of my leak? The framing guy had nailed up through the flashing. Thanks a lot. How annoying is that.

Yahbutt the flashing did not blow way in the wind that way :) Yep, that sucks. .

Think that's bad, I had a professional roofer with a good reputation working on installing flashing. We have second story brick walls that sit on top of the roof and they have weep holes. Behind the weepholes is flashing and the roof has to be flashed up the the brick so the moron roofer was going to cover the brick weepholes with his flashing until I stopped him from going so high.
