[RE-wrenches] Temporary Roof Anchors

Fri Jan 8 09:39:40 PST 2016

The aluminum flashing sounds great. 
I will fill the holes with sealant, re-insert the nails/screws and then cover all the screw heads with sealant and smooth it out. 
If I can scoop some clean aggregate out of the gutter then I spread it over the smoothed sealant and it blends in so you don't even see the sealant (which is black and barely noticeable from the ground anyway) 

I wish more homes around here used ridge vent caps. It would limit the number of roof vents spread out across the roof.
