Default Need help with roof flashing question
From today's inspection: are these the right kinds of rocks to use for flashing a combustion vent (this was for the furnace)?

Sorry... this was a joke. Just so you know, rocks aren't used for roof flashing. This is what comes from no one thinking I have a sense of humor.
I thought someone would call me on this.
Go to http://www.nachi.org/forum/f59/home-...en-roof-41210/ to see the home I inspected today.

No! Since it is a combustion vent, they should of used these instead.

Absolutely not!!!! You should always use LAVA rocks, since they are preheat tested by NATURE and are, therefore, a "natural" choice.

Q (also, just joking)
