Totally...we need a new roof at some point in the next few years... Archived Message
Posted by haighter on January 16, 2024, 15:39:52, in reply to "That's where I'm at. Plus I don't want to pay someone every time something isn't working"
Our roof is flat. I know that if I could figure out a way to get the materials onto the roof I'd try to do it myself... But I also realize that this is one of those things you should absolutely pay the professionals to do. But god damnit...they're just going to roll out some long strips of impregnated asphalt, melt them together at the seam and spread a bunch of gravel around. HOW HARD COULD IT BE?!?! Previous Message I'm not sure that the first time or two I fix something it's even cheaper, but I'm learning and it will be next time. I also sit on a computer all day so doing something with my hands has a certain amount of appeal The ceiling fan in my office needs to be replaced. 18 months ago I wouldn't have thought about trying it myself, but easy enough to flip the breaker and give it a shot. Pretty sure it will be not that bad and I can complete it but if not I can call after I have tried myself. Previous Message ...I want to know how all of it works. So, part of the "doing things around the house" is the satisfaction of a job well done...the other part is that I want to know how everything works from the heater to the toilet and everything in-between. Previous Message And I didn't know our brand has a specific gasket that doesn't work with the universal. It took longer than expected including 3 trips to Lowes and eventually an Amazon order but I'm glad I did it and could now relatively quickly do it again. Previous Message ...essentially all the guts. It wasn't hard...but it was more involved than I had first expected. I had to pull the tank, replace the supply line, cut the overflow pipe to fit...etc etc. Took a few hours. Previous Message $500+ ice maker will make some ice then a few hours later it's all melted and not making more. I unplug it for a few hours and then it's lather rinse repeat. Just cleaned/descaled last month. Not happy right now and of course it's 2 months out of warranty.
