If you mean the strip of clear plastic, it gets removed. It's protecting the adhesive that is supposed to hold the shingle down to the one beneath it.

Water Pumped From Basement Freezing In Street

golddave on Dec 30, 2009

I'm not sure if I'm posting this to the right place but... We waterproofed our basement a few years ago by installing an indoor french drain and sump pump to pump water from the basement to the street in front of the house. When the weather is warm the water flows down the street to the sewer a few houses down. But during the winter the water freezes before reaching the sewer resulting in a large ice patch that grows each time more water is pumped out. Is there something I can do to prevent the freezing? Perhaps something I can add to the water in the sump pump well that will not damage the pump? ThanksRead More

Shingles over shingles

My understanding is that Florida code allows up to 3 layers of shingles. Since there's an adhesive involved near the bottom of the shingles, I'm trying to understand how this makes sense. If the bottom layer (including the adhesive) has worn out, how does it make sense to glue something on top of it? Opinions on applying shingles over old shingles?Read More
