When taking slate off and reinstalling them on the same house, I'd always order 40%-80% more so I'd have enough to do the job. It's taken me 30+ years to learn I've been doing it wrong and overcharging the customers. I've seen the light and will now change my ways!
(I edited the sentence before for clarification.) As long as you start with an original slate roof that is done with a 2" headlap, and shorten the headlap, this is possible. Slate don't need a headlap!
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
:woohoo: :woohoo:
Sure. Need more? Credit and links always appreciated! Feel free to use any I put up or have in my albums. :) :) :) :)
Tinner can I have your permission to publish that slate photo on my FB page and in my next eblast? I will give you credit and a link to where ever you want. That last picture, the raggity one.
Thanks, Vickie
cts racing Said: I bet they used electro-galvanized nails too.Yep! Too late for a lawyer though. Several years have passed and the felt got them past the warranty period. :( :S
BTW: Pic#3 the neighbor NEEDS a new roof!!!
I don't think so. It's just a mix of Vermont, Penns, and Bucks on a Variated Ragged Random.
Like this one for instance.
I bet they used electro-galvanized nails too. I'm guessing they only used 1 nail for those that have swiveled around.
So I see they smeared white caulking on the one slate; where's the 10 gal. of roof cement patches? Better yet - that spray repair can stuff. Time to get a lawyer; and then redo the entire slate roof.

No clue. I didn't even evaluate the leaks there. I just gave a price to repair the general area this year some time.
Just too many things wrong to worry about specific repairs. A total turd job.

You mis-read this sentence OS. Or I put it wrong. I've edited my original post to better clarify things.
"As long as you start with slate and a roof that is done with a 2" headlap, this is possible."
The roof had a 2" headlap originally. They changed it to 1/2" or so. Negative headlap in areas too. :woohoo:
The slate aren't over 90-100 years old, btw.
10 x 16 Buckinghams, 7-1/2"to 7-3/4" exposure it i remember correctly. Whaddya expect? I only measured the headlap. Anywhere from 1/2" to 1", with an occasional 1'1/2" thrown in for good measure. :blush:
What is the size of the slate and what is the exposer
