Own a piece of the roof that noone likes.

Posted on

Did you know that you can own a piece of the teflon that was the Metrodome roof, before it collapsed in 2010?  Yes, believe it or not people are paying about $10 and up for a piece of the roof that collapsed in that December snow storm of 2010. There are a few different variations that you can get too. Such as a Joe Mauer plaque with his #7 cut out of the roof teflon, mounted next to his baseball card on wood backing. How about a Authentic Teflon printed Vikings football with purple printing on it, or a 1987  “Domer Hanky” cut out of the teflon roof? In all there looks to be about 27 different pieces that you can pick up in all price ranges. Hmmm, maybe for a good gag, you should send a piece of the roof over to that buddy of yours who can’t stand the dome. LOL!

Does your roofing contractor know the roofing codes?

Posted on

When hiring a roofing contractor, you will want to make sure that whoever you are hiring knows the codes for your city, and abides by them,  before replacing your roof. Getting in trouble with the city inspector is the last thing that you want to have happen. Here are some of the codes that your contractor should know.

  1. How they need to deal with existing roof layers.
  2. Underlayment codes
  3. Flashing requirements
  4. Type and length of fasteners to use for code.
  5. Shingles
  6. Attic ventilation
  7. Permits & Inspections required

Hiring a well qualified roofing contractor will save you headaches down the road.

Roofing humor!

Two rookie roofers are up roofing a home.  The first rookie pulls out a nail and then hammers it into the roof. Then he pulls out another nail, looks at it, then throws it over his shoulder. Rookie #2 eventually saw what Rookie #1 was doing, watched him a while and then said, “Why do you keep throwing out every other nail?” Rookie #1 replied, “Because their points are on the wrong end.” Rookie #2 then said, “You airhead, those nails are for the other side of the roof!”
