Roof framing

[Jeffrey S. Campbell]

the water line is plastic as far as I can tell... the electrician reported back that there are 2 ground rods... but I could not verify this... there was only about 5-6 feet total of copper pipe in the house... the rest was pex or similar...

They miscalculated the bottom of the tab.

Hi. Jeff;

The only thing I could find on the statement that I made on roofing tab sealants that might be wrong was this.

To stop the initiation of damage, it is imperative
to keep the exposed shingle tab sealed to the
shingle below and to the rest of the roof deck.
Applying roofing cement to the outer roof edges
by hand, properly locating and applying nails in
shingles and taking care to assure the shingle’s
self-sealing adhesive strip is properly secured will
help keep the tabs from lifting. The guidelines
include practices to reduce shingle blow-off and
improve water resistance if some of the tabs are
lifted.

Read the instructions on the Certinteed Roofing being applied on my job today, and it was a 30 year Architectural, and stated what I said in my post, but was only for high sloped roofs which is 21/12 or greater.

Some where along the line I have come across the fact that 6/12 or greater needs this additional tab cement. It might have been a cheaper or less expensive shingle. When I find which one it was, which would mean me stumbling on it again, I will inform you.

Hi. Jeff Cambell;

I responded but do not know where it went. ha. ha.

This has to be funny. I am still trying to master this darn thing and it is not going to happen. It probably ended up in electrical somewhere.

Don't you just love this new technolegy?
