circles, circles, everywhere

JohnT8 | Posted in General Discussion on June 20, 2007 12:04pm

When I went in my project house over lunch time, I found circles, circles everywhere!  I knew immediately what caused them, but thought it was kinda funny.

And who knows what is causing this circle condition?

    Judging from the pattern, it looks like your ceiling is down and you pulled the shingles nails and all.

      Judging from the pattern, it looks like your ceiling is down and you pulled the shingles nails and all.

      I liked some of the other answers better, but you get the milkbones.  The 15 year shingles had been on for 35 years or so.  It was time for them to come off.

      Everyone think dry thoughts for about another 24 hours.  The felt killed the light show but the shingles don't go on until Wednesday.jt8

        Reminds me of that movie Signs when the come out of the basement and the boards covering the windows have circles and stars cut in them.

        Woo Hoo! My first milkbones!

        "Everyone think dry thoughts for about another 24 hours."

        No can do. My beans need rain, and we need rain here at the truss plant too.

        We need a good all day soaker, so it sends all the framers home and gets 'em off my a$$ a bit.

    This is in front of the window that still has the house wrap over it, with the sun shining on it.
    How good is that????

    Obviously, space aliens have landed and are taking organ samples of the Advantech.

      Nail Holes.

      Cool pic.

      You tell me and we will both know. Better yet, you tell us and we will all know.

        And just think, if I hadn't wandered in there so near noon, I probably wouldn't have noticed the floor show.

          If it felted in with plasti-caps you should be OK

    Never mind the spots.

    Why is the Advantech so puckered up?

    I thought the advantage of advantech was less swelling.

    1. JohnT8 | Jun 20, 2007 08:07am | #14

      Why is the Advantech so puckered up?

      Optical illusion.  That sheet isn't nailed down.  Has a couple scraps underneath it to make it easier for me to pick up (so I can get into the crawlspace).jt8

    Looks like sunlight beaming through nail holes in the roof sheathing, but I thought you were further along than that.

    And what's with that buckled edge?

      Yeah, the roof COULD have gone on last November.  But where's the fun in that.

      And what's with that buckled edge?

      That piece isn't nailed down.  Messy pic from earlier in the year shows it better.
