I think this is great , and thanks for the comment about tar. I'm doing similar right now and this is all good apart from the fact that all american handymen feel the need to grow a moustache. Where I come from - and I'm sure its the same in america - it shows latent homosexuality and should be avoided. Anyway, thank you.

@cullyvan ROFLMAO Wait till I tell my wife she's married to a lantent homosexual. Are you kidding me? I'm telling you that your comment might rank as the funniest one I've yet to receive on this channel. Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha

@AsktheBuilder You're welcome ! Just messing with you. Thanks for the help, hard NH winter coming on.

[AsktheBuilder]

@cullyvan No worries! Loved your Mt. Kearsarge video. Very cool. I'm intending to scale quite a few of the NH peaks summer 2011. I did Foss Mountain last year and have that video up on my TimCarterTV channel. What a view from up there. Wow!

Everyones a freakin critic. I say thanks and this video helps us 'mortals' alot.

[AsktheBuilder]

@granthemenway Indeed. Lot's of the critics are chest pounders and others are fearful of the dissemination of information. They want to be modern-day home-improvement shamans. :->>>

Okay Mister Professional,

Maybe you should invest your time taping a few videos sharing your roofing knowledge instead of pickup trucks spinning in the mud. I went to your channel and there is nothing there that leads anyone into thinking you're a roofing professional. You know the old saying: Actions speak louder than words. You better take some action. :->

Ok mister builder you are right on one thing. It is rather easy to replace broken shingle, but you failed to tell you audiance that you need to use tar to secure down the shingles that you broke loose during the repair (besides the tabs that overlay the new shingle because it has new tar and should still seal). If you don't use tar to secure down the shingles that need you will end up in the same spot you where in the first place which is repairing another shingle. Take it from a professional

Our inspector also found a lead boot had some squirrel damage from chewing on it.

Are lead boots easy to change out?

forgive me if you already have a video showing this

[TheAgentAssassin]

Thanks this will save me from calling a roofer, we had an inspection and he noted one cracked shingle.

Off to the store to get some tar in a tube and a shingle bar.  Luckily the roofers left a pile of leftover shingles in the garage.

@AsktheBuilder White Mountains are very nice , and right up the top of Maine near Canada is heaven. Enjoy .

also, the same roofer came out about 2 months ago and stated it would cost 300 to put up a new piece of siding that was damaged from a neighbors ball. our neighbor said the new piece would cost 8 dollars and he put it up for us. if you could give us a rough estimate of what it would cost for a new 6 foot piece of metal flashing that would be great - thanks for your time!
