wheres the leak

BTW, the Stanley 6" 'Rooster' bar is my tool of choice for removing slate intact.

If it is done like that over the whole rof, you are probably right.

:laugh: What they did was do a random, but did it from the bottoms of the slate instead of aligning off the tops of the slate! :laugh: I see my 'competition'??? doing crap like that all over in Va.

That's a shame.

Is that over the whole roof, or just in that spot? Why would someone spend that much money on a roof and do that? That is worse than putting dirty diesel fuel into a F1 high performance race car.

these are 22"X14" bucks. they scattered 18"X14" bucks. with 9.5" in exposure = -1" headlap in places. Crap felt held out water till felt turned to pure crap. Flashing is substandard but not the problem.

There is no headlap on those slates. unless that is felt overlapped on them.

I'm surprised no one else has noticed but there is a bunch of slate missing . :laugh:

Looks like it's missing some headlap, (short slates).....aside from the obvious apparent, narrow side-wall/step-flashing & possible goofy window flashing

frank will see it

It looks like the first step flashing, then 4 inches up and left about 19 inches, both areas have debris washed away as if the water is cleaning it's point of infiltration. The hip, it looks obvious, yet I learned the obvious is NOT always the answer on A roof leak.

I'm seeing a couple of areas. Bad flashing detail upside of slope under window + a nail hole above last course of slate 2 slate in from hip. The other possible source is the window frame itself. B) :) :) B) Deep Down In Florida Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Every Day
