Looks great. Is it all riveted together and then screwed in place?
What the size of the vent?

Grant,
Obviously an attic. View Image
What type of structure. I seem to remember you posting a church or school job.

Obviously an attic
Sorry, wasn't trying to be a smartass. Thought you meant an appliance or fartfan or something of that nature.
It's a residence. I did the roof about 10 years ago. Fell about 15' onto a concrete driveway as a matter of fact. Fantastic customer and has become a good friend. When I hit, it knocked me unconcious for a while. I could see him and his son inside working on a project in his basement shop when I came to, but I was winded and couldn't call out. My right arm and leg (the side I hit on)were numb so I couldn't move for a while. I finally was able to roll down the driveway to where my radio was laying on my truck tailgate. In the meantime, Ray and his son had gone out the front of the house to get something from the hardware store. I got in touch with Dale on the radio (he was on another job) and he came and got me and took me to the emergency room.
When I got out of the ER, Ray was there waiting for me (he'd sent Dale on back to work) and he took me back to his house so I could get my truck. I'd broken my wrist and my elbow, but was in pretty good shape otherwise. Took off for a planned vacation to Disney World the next morning.

You mean like the screen that is clearly visible in the first two pictures?
And that is clearly not tightly fastened along the edges.

Ouch! I've had problems off and on with bits of bone coming through my lower jaw. It's really the pits. Not that painful in the grand scheme of things but it never goes away and drives you bonkers.

Schweeet. Nice having the hole for a template I bet! I hope he had some shade, brutal out there..

Normally, I'd have made 'em in the shop, but I didn't have time. I just made all the pieces and he's puting them together on site. It's hotter than hell, but he's got some shade and lake breeze when he's on the ground.
How's it going at Montrose? Are they letting you work? We won't be out there 'til Tues at best. I gotta have surgery on my mouth again tomorrow.

Freaky..LOL. They're cool, but different.
Sheeet, I have to have the phase two of MY mouth done on Sept. 4..was up with us?
Uh, lessee..I am staying on the front entrance, I went up in the painters boom, and checked the barrels...they are fine for attaching Drip Edge, all the repairs I need to do, are around the sash holes and some sill repair..they now want the sills wrapped in Cu. I kinda talked him into that for the best longhaul fix.
I wont be back out there myself till monday, I have to mill a batch of that dentil and moulding behind it...I have the rest of the wood work licked, and they want a TON of stuff done...unless you need me up on the roof, I'll keep pluggin away at the house as they wish.
Tell me what you want to pay for the carriage house dormers, I guess I can't get a # that flys.?
Good luck w/ the mouth..I'm right behind you...:(
Edit: Yeah, I remeber that house I think..Jamie and Adam did that last winter? where you took a spill?
