Of course, maybe it was Mr. Drysdale's idea. Yeah, that's the ticket. This was one of those homes where every repair and improvement de-valued the house...

Ben H Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 As a person who has hundreds of hours in latex gloves working the old fiberglass, I would not be surprised to see the material bill for that "repair" to exceed $100.00. F-glass ain't cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Bet that looks real purty on the inside, too! Hey, that looks like the front fenders of my old '64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I bet the knuckle head that fixed it is the same one that thought an acrylic dome was a good investment in the first place. A Velux fixed skylight and flashing kit is only about 1 1/2 times the cost of those silly plastic bubbles. If the installer follows the directions a Velux light won't leak. The plastic bubbles are designed to leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHI in AR Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I guess it's up to me to point out that there wasn't a character on The Beverly Hillbillies named Daisy. (She was on the Dukes Of Hazzard. Different redneck clan.) The nubile character on TBH was Ellie May. (Mae?) But the skylight "repair" is still classic.
