We received notice from the insurance company that my roofing job passed inspection, so now we are insured! Hurray!
We have a foam roof. Some of the coating was worn away exposing the foam. It took a while because it was raining so much. But I finished painting on the new roof coating Tuesday. The coating is a new silicone type. It is supposed to last 50 years. What I don't like about the silicone is that it does not stay white, but yellows in the sun.
The dumb inspector had no idea what he was looking at. We live in a galvanized steel house that was the framed out in wood on the inside. The roof is also galvanized steel. But in the sun it will flex as the heat causes it to expand and contract. It leaked a lot before the coating. Part of his report said that our roof was "bowed". We had to explain this was natural for our kind of structure. And yes, the whole house is grounded in case of a lighting strike.
Yay, Lois.
Inspectors. UGH
When we remodeled our upstairs to make two bedrooms into 1 bedroom and master bath, the inspectors were relentless. Lots of money in engineering for the support of the weight of the bathtub and shower, yet they didn't want to believe the engineers reports. The lead engineer used to work for this inspection company our city uses. Got that solved and the HVAC inspector comes to the house and uses a micrometer on the duct work. It was .001" too light.
.001" 1/1000 So, HVAC company gets back out 6 days later, they use their micrometer and it shows okay. So come to find out the inspectors micrometer was out of calibration.
After drywall went up, they wanted it taken back down to make sure the wood studs were protected by metal wraps where wire passed through the studs, so a nail or screw wouldn't go through and hit the wire. This is after they already said it was okay to proceed with drywall, but the previous inspector forgot to check the box for that. I HATE THESE GUYS.
I'm happy that you're happy!
Galvanized Steel. I imagine it as being very pretty.
