They are sticking up about 1 1/2 inches. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Leavens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2008 9:41 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] quick roof repair
Are the nails driven fully home? If so I would consider a dob of hot tar after first cleaning the area of each head thoroughly. Might want to scatter a little sand into the tar while it is still sticky. The correct thing to do of course is to shingle the roof. Wonder if they flashed the junction of the roof with the new siding? ----- Original Message ----- From: Lenny McHugh To: handyman-blind Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2008 9:18 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] quick roof repair This is almost unbelievable. A neighbor ask me how to do a quick repair on his shingles. He hired a contractor to put siding on the back of his home. The back goes up one story then a roof over the laundry room and two stories up to the top of the house. Now this contractor has been in business at least 30 years. His crew drove nails through the shingles, I presume to hold the ladders in place on the sloped shingle roof. There are at least 15 nails sticking through the shingles. There is no rain in the forecast for the next few days. He wanted my help. The first advice is to take a lot of pictures. I suspect this will get nasty. I did also tell him not to pull the nails. Wondering if a little roof cement or silicone around each nail would make a very temporary patch? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
