another question. this type of repair like you did in the video, can be done whether wet or dry correct? obviously using the proper sealant/tar to work with the moisture

thanks again

[tooldudetony]

@linxcod --- This can be done either wet or dry. In this repair, it had rained after I had stripped the roof. I did what I could to prevent leakage during the storm. You are correct, the appropriate sealer must be used if the roof is wet.

[linxcod]

what kind of caulking is that? and can you use that leak repair tar instead?

[tooldudetony]

@linxcod - The clear stuff is roof sealant and the black stuff is roof leak tar. I could have used the tar wherever I used the clear sealer. It is up to you.

You could do away with the supid sound effects it take away for video

[tooldudetony]

@magic6403 - Good suggestion. I'm not doing that any more. Thanks

@MIKEYDBOY16 --- I'll bet you are. But I'm not a roofer, I'm just a homeowner who fixes stuff on the weekend.

Have a good one!

The best way to stop water getting into your home is to stop paying the water bills. I had a problem with water pouring into my house through taps and showers, i stopped paying the bills and they dont leak at all now, I turn the taps on now and everything stays nice and dry, no flooding water getting through. Happy days.

One thing I hate roofers do, they will track, so they speed up the process faster. This is the worst thing you can do.

Cool vid man, I know nothing about roof repair and this was a fun intro to the good bit of homework I have ahead of me

@tooldudetony Thanks for the cool and entertaining video tips! Also, I disagree with magic6403's comment above about the sound effects being stupid. I like the way you use but don't over-use the sound effects. (He's probably one of those guys with no sense of humor.) Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to post such helpful and interesting videos...

@ThesuperBoss2011 - Nothing functionally on top, but after being roofed a couple of times, it had a lot of nail holes around the base. That's why I installed the plastic/rubber boot over it. The issue with lead is now it is considered hazardous material. If you handle it, wear gloves. Thanks

I love this guy! He's hysterical! Plus, he's got some useful tips. Thanks for the help and the laughs Tony :)
