Denray Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I was on vacation riding my bike around Diamond Lake in Oregon and I saw this large cabin with this pile of vents on its sides. Whatcha think they are all for? Click to Enlarge 72.03 KB Click to Enlarge 37.6 KB Click to Enlarge 27.28 KB And the next day I hiked almost to the tippy top of this peak, Mt. Thielsen.

hausdok Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 The silver one in the first picture and the two in the last picture are for some kind of Category IV devices. The others look like plumbing vents. The owner, or his metal roofing guy, must have experienced some kind of nightmare with trying to flash plumbing vents that pass up through a metal roof and decided against it. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

kurt Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 It may have been a super insulated house; maybe they didn't want to penetrate the ceiling insulation, in addition to not messing with the standing seam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denray Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Thanks for the replies. Big time snow country. Real close to Crater Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Maybe they are just there for an excuse so you can show us the tippy top of that peak? I agree with Mike and Kurt, the metal roof sheds snow better and is tighter without all those vents sticking out of it. I imagine that was a thrilling climb, both up and down.

susanbeech Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 And the next day I hiked almost to the tippy top of this peak, Mt. Thielsen. Click to Enlarge 72.26?KB I think they've answered your question about the vents, just about the mountain I think it was a good experience of you to climb that mountain. Just want to experience the same thing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
