Installing a vent in a rood that has two layers of shingles

I was wondering if there is anything special i have to do when installing a roof vent (for a bathroom fan) through a roof that has two layers of shingles.

I assume that I would only install in under the top layer of shingle, not go down through both layers of shingles.

Waterproof issue where Cedar Siding meets Stucco

C

chops11 on Mar 31, 2010

Hey Folks, thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Have a 100+ year old house, so nothing is up to code/standard i'm sure. The back of the house (tinypic DOT com/r/synmhk/5) was sinking so footers poured, header built and the house was raised a few inches. The problem is, during the raising, where the cedar meets the stucco (as shown by the yellow circle) was moved out of alignment, and repatched poorly. Instead of the cedar extended out past the stucco, in many cases they are flush, and in some, the stucco even pushed past the bottom row of the cedar. As expected, when it rains against that side of the house, water runs down the cedar and pours into the house at this intersection of the two. I'm looking for a way to stop this from happening (not necessarily temporary, but short of ripping down the stucco and siding all the way to the bottom.) My original thought was to use some L shaped aluminum, gluing part under the cedar to allow an overhang over the stucco. However, I'm not a tradesman by any stretch, so I have no idea if this would work. Again, thanks for any help you can provide.Read More

Pop-up drain emitter

S

salyermorgan on Apr 03, 2010

I want to install a pop-drain emitter in my yard. The gutter downspout is, obviously, square; however, the elbow of the pop-up drain is round; and I can't find any drain pipe that is square on one end and round on the other. Am I missing something? THanks.Read More
