how much does it cost for a piece of metal flashing that needs to be replaced under a window area? my husband was thinking of doing it himself with our neighbor who is very experienced with roofing (we haven't contact him yet in relation to what he thought it would cost). a roofer came out today and stated it would run us about 300 for just that section or 600 to redo the the whole way down underneath the windows
Lol ,I know most my closest neighbors,but they still think I'm a little light of normal! Thats ok thou I don't mind being seen as a little different.+++Bob
If carrying it up too the roof is a problem because you have too many other things to bring up, I would guess a router pad which you could put in your pocket would do the same?
Great idea! I'm not even sure that Bob Villa, Bob the Builder or even Sponge Bob would have thought of that. Any ideas concerning my handmade antique terra cotta roof tiles?
good idea, we use them all the time, adds stablility and can save you knees too. These are the kinds of ideas that when combined with common sense, can make roofing safe. Unfortunately, with all the harnesses, ropes and safety equipment that you are supposed to wear, you hardly have room for this... Ive seen more people trip over someone elses harness and fall flat on their face than i have seen people slip and fall on a roof. But if you dont follow the saefty regualtions, you pay the fine...
I will try my sofa next time I'm on the roof.

Wouldn't the foam have a tendency to blow off the roof.

If you cut one that size in quarters, it's also great for washing the car. It's better than just throwing it away.
