Dano Posted June 4, 2012 #826 Posted June 4, 2012 What, did you think everybody there was gonna follow you home and do it for ya'??? That's why you worked so much there??? Oh sorry, that was your impersonator.......
Yammer Dan Posted June 4, 2012 Author #827 Posted June 4, 2012 No I really about half expected to come home and find ther Warden on the roof!! I warned her away from it but that would not have done a bit of good but she is scared of heights!! Besides i was here allll weekend...
FROG MAN Posted June 4, 2012 #828 Posted June 4, 2012 Same problem here Dan. The gasoline disappears from my vehicles, and food from the pantry but NO WORK GETS DONE!:confused24:
Yammer Dan Posted June 9, 2012 Author #829 Posted June 9, 2012 I went out and looked at it today but Grandson is pitching for Little League Championship. Kid is 13 and pitches like a Good High school kid already. When he signs that contract I will go to a 2nd Gen!!!
Freebird Posted June 9, 2012 #830 Posted June 9, 2012 and we have yet ANOTHER admission that Yammer is dreaming of a second gen. Not to worry my friend, it is perfectly understandable.
Marcarl Posted June 9, 2012 #831 Posted June 9, 2012 and we have yet ANOTHER admission that Yammer is dreaming of a second gen. Not to worry my friend, it is perfectly understandable. Yes, but did he say he was buying one? No, he just said something about looking, and he didn't say anything about selling.
dingy Posted June 9, 2012 #832 Posted June 9, 2012 and we have yet ANOTHER admission that Yammer is dreaming of a second gen. Not to worry my friend, it is perfectly understandable. We all need to slow down when we get old, and a 2nd Gen is the perfect, logical step in that direction. Gary
Yammer Dan Posted June 9, 2012 Author #833 Posted June 9, 2012 and we have yet ANOTHER admission that Yammer is dreaming of a second gen. Not to worry my friend, it is perfectly understandable. NIghtmares!!! Dreams are a NEW 1st Gen with V-Max Boost and gears.
Yammer Dan Posted June 10, 2012 Author #835 Posted June 10, 2012 Did I mention Grandson might be a ball player?? Tonight in championship game he had a double, a tripple, a inside the park home run and a grand slam(his first) while pitching 10 strikeouts. They Won... he moves on to all star team. He might be a ball player.
Yammer Dan Posted June 10, 2012 Author #836 Posted June 10, 2012 Gonna get ready to start metal today.
Yammer Dan Posted June 10, 2012 Author #837 Posted June 10, 2012 We all need to slow down when we get old, and a 2nd Gen is the perfect, logical step in that direction. Gary OLD?? Dingy are you getting a 2nd Gen??
Yammer Dan Posted June 14, 2012 Author #838 Posted June 14, 2012 I've read and read trying to find how to screw that metal on. Too many different opinions. Guess I'll do my own. I'm putting them in the flats only. Some put them in the flats and on the overlapping rib? I don't think they would be necessary on the rib if the stuff lays down as it should with nothing sticking up for wind to grab. And not as many as several are using. I'm thinking every 4 ft is plenty. I'm going to try to hit the trusses with them. Using 1 & 1/2 inch screws and 1/2 inch OSB as sheeting thats a lot of screw doing nothing. If they hit the trusses it would be a lot more holding power= less screws??
Trader Posted June 14, 2012 #839 Posted June 14, 2012 NOOOOOOOO! I've only done a couple of steel roofs BUT..... Put the screws on the RISE...not the valleys! Water runs down the valleys!!!!!!! overlap the panels by 1 rise. Screws should be about every 2' vertically and about every 1' horizontally That's the way it is done if you are using the 'wavy" panels with 2-3" ribs. If you are using something else then I can't help you but I know that you don't want the screws in the valleys where the water is! You don't want too much screw sticking thru the OSB into your attic because frost will form on the screw, then melt and you will have a wet mouldy attic.
Yammer Dan Posted June 14, 2012 Author #840 Posted June 14, 2012 Too Late!! Done started. I do have the 3 rib metal. I looked at it for a while and put them on the flats. I guess I'll find out.
Yammer Dan Posted June 16, 2012 Author #841 Posted June 16, 2012 Metal is going pretty easy if leg wasn't sore. I don't like the way the Ridge Cap fits on this stuff. With a good storm I don't see how it keep from leaking.
Marcarl Posted June 16, 2012 #842 Posted June 16, 2012 Metal is going pretty easy if leg wasn't sore. I don't like the way the Ridge Cap fits on this stuff. With a good storm I don't see how it keep from leaking. Looking at the pictures I can almost see your concern, but I really don't have a comment as to how it should be done or how it works.
Bob Myers Posted June 16, 2012 #843 Posted June 16, 2012 Metal is going pretty easy if leg wasn't sore. I don't like the way the Ridge Cap fits on this stuff. With a good storm I don't see how it keep from leaking. My building package had foam to put under the ridge cap, where it goes across the ridges
playboy Posted June 16, 2012 #844 Posted June 16, 2012 Too Late!! Done started. I do have the 3 rib metal. I looked at it for a while and put them on the flats. I guess I'll find out. Your doing it right from the way it sounds ( never found the pic ) in the flats you are using the screws with the rubber washer You should have some shorter screws for stitching the ribs may be one at the bottom and one or two either halfway or 1/4 th the way then 3/4 way up ridge cap will catch the last one.
dingy Posted June 20, 2012 #846 Posted June 20, 2012 Too Hot to get on there... This roof is taking longer than the slab did !! Gary
Yammer Dan Posted June 21, 2012 Author #847 Posted June 21, 2012 I'm RETIRED!! No Hurry no worries....
Dano Posted June 21, 2012 #848 Posted June 21, 2012 Oh, thought you said RE-tired, like you get everyday.......
Yammer Dan Posted June 21, 2012 Author #849 Posted June 21, 2012 Got me a Wagner Paint Gun. Guess I'll have to try it out now.
Dano Posted June 22, 2012 #850 Posted June 22, 2012 Use it on the neighbors houses first, that way they can't tell where it's messed up!
