Poorly placed pipe on steroids

She said why did it cause so much damage and why so much to fix it?

Reminds me of my wood first thing in the morning! :woohoo:

Yeah willie, they moved the top of the pipe out of the valley :S

The valley rafter always keep them from the center of the valleys. I've just always roofed around them because nobdoy wnats to reconstruct things and move them well away. It's not hard to roof around them either. :)

After looking at this pic below a little closer, I'm thinking they put some kind of couplet on the pipe and made a feeble attempt to get it out of the valley.

That seems to be how it became crooked like this.

"............it can be done fairly easily at that point. "

Uh huh. But why bother :dry:

Originally it was just a straight side on a double wide mobile home.

The pipe is directly over a bath tub.

When they built the front porch roof onto the mobile home, the pipe just happened to end up being almost in the dead center of the valley.

They failed to reroute the pipe elsewhere and instead just smeared a big gob of roof tar around it.

How the pipe got broken and leaned over like that is a mystery but the only thing holding it at all is the dried up roof cement.

Add to all of this a two foot pile of leaves and the fact its been leaking for a few years and it's not pretty to look at from the bathroom.

Theres a lot of mold, rotten rafters and decking.

I included in my bid to reroute the pipe out of the valley while the wood is out since it can be done fairly easily at that point.

Is that a vent stack for a reclining toilet?
