I can see that but our mills out our way are very high tech and computerized etc etc plus they are kind of big open air type places and the log yards are just a bunch of equipment running around .

1984I don’t ever remember it being called flipping    Just thought if I bought a house that was in bad shape and fixed it up I could make money Paid $13,000 from cash advance on credit cards I read the instructions on the brown paper wrapper around the shingles I bought as well as read books on plumbing I got from the library Zero experience with anything related to working with tools or fixing things Ignorance is bliss 

Shortly after the first rent check came through we had a damaging storm that blew a large number of shingles off the roof.

I have a small 2 building property (1500 sq ft each, one story, concrete walls and shingle roof (new), all new electric.

Charging $165 per square labor only to install shingles and I have laborers that do it for $45 a square.

If I was having an addition done, I would consider dried-in state - foundation, doors/windows in, framing done, roof in place and shingled - as 50% complete.

Here in Tampa area there are lots of big, old, houses made out of wood and they are full of termite damage and aesbestos shingles and lead paint and hazardous material replacement and disposal is very expensive in order to be approved for a Loan.

Just the shingles (most common meaning when people say I need a new roof) or does the decking need to be replaced, the joists. 

Greetings,My rental duplex may be due for a new roof (asphalt shingles),but I’m wondering the best way to get an honest opinion on this.

The inspector recommended I get a licensed HVAC engineer to check it.Other things are ---Open mortar joists/loose spalled brick at the chimney, loose shingles on dormer---Several windows painted shut sash cords missing, non-operable, rear deadbolt "keyed only" should have thumb turn for emergency egressloose/ flaking paint, possible lead-based paint---Cracked concrete at entry porch,--missing guard rail at rear steps,--several downspouts missing splash blocks/draining too close to the house---Grading is flat to sloping toward foundation additional top soil/grade modification may be needed---Suggested GFCI protected outlets at all wet locations as a safety improvement---Discoloration on floor joists in the basement, have evaluated for cleaning, possible treatment---Garage needs to be repaired completely.
