Thanks Kurt. Much better...

Mike, How do I change the settings on my account so all this stuff after my name is not there? Thought it would look good at the time I set the account up but as one inspector to another, who really cares... Thanks

Mike, I believe it is the 17' model which is what I use. I stopped walking second or third story roofs several years ago. Just not worth the risk for the money.

Hi all, Costco in Tumwater is going to be selling the Little Giant Maga Lite for $140.00 on Saturday the 20th of this month. ( I paid $200.00 several years ago) Just thought some would want to know. George

Thank you all. George

Greetings, An engineer in town just called me with an interesting question. "Do you have any written documentation to show that gable end vents and continuous ridge vents should not be used on the same roof?" I had to admit that I had never herd anything about this but that the idea of the gable vents some how "short circuiting" the upward flow (convection) from the soffits to the ridge was interesting. The idea is that the gable vents would feed the ridge vents and there would be little or no air movement through the main area if the attic. This seems very unlikely to me in the real world but hay, I have been wrong before and surly will be again in the future... Are there any roofing experts out there with documentation about this? Many thanks, George
