Lol. True. Although I always think she lands in bed like a model from PvP Halo 3.

Me going through TSA…

I want to look and smile that the good boi, but I must look ahead and ignore him, because he is at work. Also because I have indica gummies on me so I can sleep on the plane. So I need to play it cool.

That is the right boot for that job. That said, the install is not the most attractive I’ve seen.

If you want to put another boot on top of that, look for “ag panel roof boot” on Google. There are some larger boots that could sit on top of that thing.

I’d probably start by looking

For something like this, if probably hit up YouTube and search metal roof + roof boot or pipe flashing

Two potential options.

Option 1. More caulk. It’s possible that the roofer did put caulk under the boot. Perhaps they only put calk on the perimeter.

Option 2, put another panel on top of it and create a big ass shingle.

And that said, when I’ve had problems with flashing and my roof, the best thing to do is to get into the attic while someone pours water in specific areas. That’s the fastest way to know what specifically needs to be fixed.

The sealant is supposed to be that way. You’re supposed to bend the aluminum to the match the roof, put a bead of caulk under the boot, put screws at the major fold lines, and put a bead of caulk around the edge for extra protection.

I don’t know if the installer put the first bead on, but the screws are basically in the right places and the that finishing bead is there.

The problem might be because the installer installed this at a 45 degree angle. That’s not something I normally see. That forces the big bend to be on a corner.

I might look for an installation manual for this. Most companies post them online.

Classic husky move.

Non husky: I don’t like this and I’m sad

Husky: I FUCKING HATE THIS SO MUCH WHY DO YOU HATE ME

I thought that was sighthounds. Super aloof, only asks for pets when they want them, wants to spend all day stalking a mouse and slowly torturing it, etc.

Huskies overreact to everything. Sadness, happiness… everything is dialed up to 11.

Oof. I’ve had to deal with skunk 3 times. And one time I got hit too.

No fun. That stuff if so much worse when it’s fresh.

I’d probably also add some Brad nails or staples so that it’s not just glue.

and what looks to be some sort of dried landlord repair fluid.

Ahh yes. Landlord fluid.

Probably some sort of gate valve to shut off water to the unit. The crusty white ring at the pipe fitting is mineral buildup that can happen in plumbing.

The mineral build up can either be from natural condensation that occurs when it’s cool, or the fitting might not be, or might not have been, 100% water tight. As long as you’re not seeing significant water on the floor, you’re fine.

It also looks like there is a little old white paint or sealant on the valve.

Yeah, it’s a whole lot of nonsense. It makes NCIS science look pretty grounded.

So, you’re telling me that my payroll SAS vendor might not be my biggest concern?

Damn it. I should’ve bought boy’s pants at target instead. I basically had to make a tail fly.

She’s a saluki, so they don’t really have a gut. Probably got to go with a wispy Florida tweaker thing.

Poo?

Ghostalmedia OP ,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

We like to hike in the hills behind our home, and there are a lot of foxes in the area. Her favorite thing is to roll in fox shit.

This go around she stumbled upon a fresh pile of diarrhea.

Ghostalmedia OP ,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Is this what the French mean by eau de “toilette?”

Ghostalmedia ,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Diarrhea under your hat is always good go-to.

What is this small metal box my hood fan vents through? ( photos.app.goo.gl )

My hood fan vents into the top of this metal box, which then has a vent to the outside about halfway down the metal box. The box itself it maybe two half-height shoe boxes in size. I looked pretty hard, and the closest I could find was that it might be related to collecting condensation....

Ghostalmedia ,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll be honest, I’m having a hard time visualizing what the heck is going on in these pictures.

The hood should have some sort of vent to the outside of the home. Do you have that?

My hood just goes straight out of the house.

Are you able to to sketch this out on a piece of paper?

Good eye. Yeah, she’s a saluki!

Shot by my wife with an old iPhone X. She used to be a photography major back in the day, so she could take a good picture with a potato.

Pit bull leashed to a random wheel, sitting next to brake pads and bottle caps. Are you my Oakland neighbor?

Ghostalmedia OP ,

Yeah, kind of aloof, like greyhounds and whippets. Close cousins.

Middle of summer. Exactly when every arborist recommends pruning. It prevents the tree from binging on sunlight. /s

His name is actually spelled ”Dook.”

It’s short for dookie.
