Short cut on valleys

I have seen open valleys, and the "California trick" valleys and closed valleys and woven valleys. I guess this is another way to do it. http://picasaweb.google.com/crookston.john4/GoofyValley?authkey=Gv1sRgCJ7Y67ipjabRswE#5388924965500957794

That is one retarded roofer..... :woohoo:

Yep. He should be in business for himself.

Thats alot of skill to keep straight all the way thru... :lol:

they ran the roof to follow the paper. I've actually seen this quite often.and it's usually in areas that have no municipality type inspections.

A common sight around here. By design or ignorance I don't know.

You have got to be a hack.

The question that should be asked .........does it leak ??? A rather unusual approach . Interesting position. hm mm , elementary "Hemlock Stones , the great Defective , ft " A picture taken no doubt by "The Solitary Cyclist" Hemlock is playing his violin while his assistant is trying to find food, and both are discussing the Shortcut on valleys case...................( add what you want ) Ok, Hemlock was plucking his violin, trying to find a frequency that would disturb flies, reasoning that if he found such a frequency, he could have a simple fly repeller. The movie was made about 1939, I believe B&W

They haven't called me to fix it; I know that is a fact. If they can run the shingles like that, (vertical) on the valley side, why not run them up and down on the rest of the roof?

I saw it one day and had to stop and take a picture or two.

Perhaps Old School " it is a tale for which the world is not yet ready Sir Arthur Conan Doyle .

CIAK, you are way too deep for me!

It will leak where the shingles butt together! The water might not be making it inside YET but it will in due time. If it was 3-tabs it would be much worse. Around here the latest fad for valleys is to run a starter shingle up the last side of the valley and then not let the shingles go into the center of the valley itself. That way they dont have to cut out any valleys. Personally i've done the closed cut method for what seems like eternity! lol

Willie, that is what we used to call the California trick" or the "Trick" valley

I was just being facicious about running the shingles vertical. I know it will leak eventually.

LOL, that's a good one!

There is a house up here that was blue tarped for part of a summer. Driving by one day, I noticed that the roof was about 1/3 shingled...right over the blue tarp. They chose to use the "open valley" method, with the blue tarp exposed! Everytime I drive past there, I say, I need a picture of this. One day I'll take one.

A blue tarp valley. That is a good one. Nothing amazes me anymore!

I SEE MORE THAN JUST THE VALLEY WRONG
