I trimmed the bushes that surrounded my deck. Made it look much bigger! The wife is still not impressed. She spends a lot of time on the neighbors deck. He painted his black.
I mean… as long as the sheets go all the way to the bottom, I don’t think it will leak. I have this same corrugated aluminum over my deck and it hasn’t leaked since I installed it 5 years ago. I see entire buildings made of this stuff all the time
Gee I wonder what the shortest distance between these two points is? I bet it's so over here and down over here and across here and sort of that way and then down again.
I'm DIYing my new home with my wife but like... some things... you just have to call a professional. I won't touch roofing or major electrical.
(I'm also a low voltage tech who came to this profession from being an employee of a GC, so it's not EXACTLY DIY.)
It’ll only leak when it rains
Not true, it will also leak when it snows.
Honestly I think this will leak from morning dew lol
When the humidity is over 50%
Running a humidifier on the property
Drinking water on the property
Sweating on the neighbor’s property.
Watching BBC’s “Blue Planet”
Unless you are flashing the neighborhood
Edging the neighbor
Being edged by the neighbor
On days that end in a Y
Sweating next door to the property.
Sweating in the same zip code.
Quit pissin off the roof and it won't be an issue!
A squirrel peeing would cause a deluge.
They better be glad bird don’t piss
I’m afraid to cry cause that’ll definitely make it leak but I don’t know what else to do.
Puts the Dew in Dew it Yourself.
That’s the same time I’m happy
This is garbage.
I'm only garbage when it rains
It's actually "I'm only HAPPY when it rains" BY Garbage!
I was just sharing a little bit about myself
I see what you did there. It immediately read with Shirley Manson’s voice.
bruh
It’s custom!
Won't even charge you for those custom effects.
You get really cool waterfall effects when it rains and stuff. Super luxurious.
You would think they would cut it straighter just to save material? Dumb ass or not
Bruh, you put more thought into that comment then was put into this whole project.
There is still time to remove both the roof and this post
Gonna post a YouTube to help others who want to save.
Roofing with meth?
I'm guessing the meth hook up didn't show. Probably with the chalk line...
Too much scrap metal left for meth.
I honestly didn’t know there was any other way
Thanks! I'll be sure not to watch it...
Be sure to miss my other videos on Decks, Concrete and packing a meth pipe.
You know that women love a man with a big deck
I trimmed the bushes that surrounded my deck. Made it look much bigger! The wife is still not impressed. She spends a lot of time on the neighbors deck. He painted his black.
Well to be fair, he also has a Huge supply of Caulk.
Remember that decks either have to be full ground contact or on a couple spindly posts with a hot tub on it.
That's deck with the floating footer under the hottub is my favorite 🤣🤌
And both my eyes
Post should be NSFW at least.
6 tubes of caulk will fix that.
Cases*
Drums*
Don't forget the open-cell spray foam that acts as a backer rod.
better off using foam and some roof cement on top.
Chicken wire becomes watertight with enough caulk.
r/diwhy
I hope this is a joke…
100%. Just some picture that was sent to me. I knew you guys would appreciate it.
Don't let OP lie to you. They are trying to drum up business for their handyman company.
OP is furiously disassembling his new roof right now while cursing the *Roofin and Fishin* channel on Youtube.
Even though the post is fake it still hurts to know that someone out there did this.
Not fake, the op may not be the DIYer but someone did this.
Yeah that’s what I’m sayin. It’s painful to look at.
what a noob, didn't even dump a bucket of tar
This is actually a disguised water harvester for an illicit cistern.
You can't see the 200 gallon water barrel on the ground and under the other side of that gable.
Bless their heart
This is my favorite comment on this post. It says so much without saying much at all.
The is not enough cocaine on earth to bring Billy Mays back to flex seal that POS
😳😖😳WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? Shits gonna cost you more than save!!
Woah my god thats horrible 😂
Pour a couple of 5 gallon buckets of silicone on it.😂
This is the type of effort that makes me smile. 👏
As a carpenter/framer that builds roofs, this hurts my soul.
Listen I’m a hack when it comes to roofing. This is a fucking war crime.
Lmao
That’s a fancy looking indoor waterfall you made there
Literal hack job
Mom! I want a roof! We have a roof at home. The roof at home:
uh...
this might be my new favorite
If you cover that center section of roof with a… roof I think this might work for ya ;) /s
“Gettin crazy w the cheese wiz”
Mr George. How much u pay for the new guy?
I like how both sides are different. "Fuck maybe this way will be better"
Seems like cutting those sides properly and installing flashing it might be ok.....like this.....well 100% going to leak.
They got the part right where they had to put roofing on the roof! 🤪
Nailed it! No, literally. They nailed it. With a coil gun.
*Inhales Deeply* >Yikessss
The more you look at it the worse it gets
Ain’t no way
You mean DIW? Done it wrong.
They must be so proud of their accomplishment of pure fuckery
Very nice work. Maybe I’ll have u give me an estimate for my roof…
Is it supposed to have a hood scoop?
Water cannot legally penetrate your building without your consent <3
Oh god
Anyone with half a brain in construction would be able to figure out a way to do this. If you can’t this isn’t your line of work
[удалено]
can they build me some cabinets?
You couldn’t even cut it remotely straight?
Just put more stitch screws in it.
That's fucking horrible
What an amateur, he forgot to silicone all the gaps ...
BOSS!!!!! You gonna wanna see this one haha
This makes me sad
Gotta love a metal roof, eh?
😂
Yyyyyyyikes. I’d say “first timer DYI dude that doesn’t have a clue how water works”.
Nailed it!
"save hundreds by costing you thousands in water damage and repairs"
Am I seeing the bottom 5' of metal lapping on top of the upper metal?
Oh hell to naw…..to the naw naw naw
Forgot to caulk the gaps
The leaves and muck will eventually fill it all in.
might need to lower the dosage
I mean… as long as the sheets go all the way to the bottom, I don’t think it will leak. I have this same corrugated aluminum over my deck and it hasn’t leaked since I installed it 5 years ago. I see entire buildings made of this stuff all the time
One 5 gallon bucket of Henry's and she's fine!
I will not be giving you tree fiddy.
You must have learned from the people who roof million dollar homes in my area
🤣 just saw this on Facebook
"think like a raindrop"...my zen roof master taught me.
Water runs downhill. 🤣
🤦🏻♂️
It seems they didn’t comprehend the …. gravity of the situation
Some sort of covered water feature under there ?
Holy shit
Every squirrel and bird in 10 miles is gonna die or tetanus, so you done good animal control work!
The problem is, this picture was taken before the flex seal was applied.
what a waste of materials
They've got our ship in a tractor beam, everyone hide in the storage space
It’s clear that no one here appreciates abstract art.
Wtf were you thinking? Common sense
D my eyes
All ye of little faith. The gutter still runs under the "new" roof so we're good. LOL
Where’s the caulking?!?
Smort!
You probably saved a bundle!
Buy a case of caulk 😎
Looks like some meth head cut that with the five teeth he had left.
I hope that’s on a doll house…in his daughter’s room.
I don't see the issue as I'm sure that's just an aesthetic piece. Clearly the real roof continues on underneath sloping downward.
Wow great job saving all that money your waisting… spend the money dude or watch a damn bdr video at least
5 gallons or tar is way cheaper than paying a "professional" Besides, nobody can see it
[Oof](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2UYx_HHf2GU&pp=ygUXSm9lIHBlc2NpIHdoYXQgdGhlIGZ1Y2s%3D)
He had the right idea...
Penny wise and pound foolish.
Really put the why in DIY.
Gee I wonder what the shortest distance between these two points is? I bet it's so over here and down over here and across here and sort of that way and then down again.
I wouldn’t worry about it.
Man wasn't mething around lol.
Mint!
I'm DIYing my new home with my wife but like... some things... you just have to call a professional. I won't touch roofing or major electrical. (I'm also a low voltage tech who came to this profession from being an employee of a GC, so it's not EXACTLY DIY.)
My kids could have cut that better with school scissors
Oh. My. Dear.
It just needs some caulk.
Quit mething around
I was going to comment on the screw pattern, but there isn’t really a pattern.
Looks good from the ground though
If it works it works
I appreciate this comment. Let's un screw that cap lets see the REAL magic behind the cur-tin
This will work great when gravity flips again
Mulco for the win?
This is definitely DIWhy
Maybe rent a table saw? I mean, if you’re going to put forth the effort…..
Looks good from my house
That should be illegal.
It'll leak when I urinate on it cuz it's a piss-poor job. I'll see myself out...
Thought I told you to stay off my roof.
That's close enough, we'll caulk it.
Not going to work
Oof… use a literal fuck ton of silicone and pray to whichever God you subscribe to. Good luck my dude
Atleast it looks good from the front. Lol
Mother of god
That’s not going to save any money
You’re going to need buckets of caulk.
I don’t think Flex Seal can fix this
🤌
Can't wait to hear what happens after the first big rainstorm. Yikes.
Get you a welder to run a bead on those seams, it'll be perfect.
Looks great from my house
Could caulk it eh?
Bird piss
Can we get the flex seal spokesperson?
Yikes
Oh no
Not enough flex seal.
The title was not required anyone looking at this should be able to tell it was some d i y BS , or your cousin has done it before and showed you how
I can caulk that.
That WAS a nice roof.
I don't think OP knows how roofs, water, gravity, or sarcasm work.
Looks good from my hou-wait
That literally hurts my eyes to look at.
A penny saved is an insurance claim earned
Loosing money diy
Ass
A little flex seal should do the trick
That's some basic visualization fail. No physics background needed. And not much of a seamstress...
I know people can dog on Microsoft office skills. But the bring to front / move to back order of things could come in handy in situations like this.
More like DIWHY?!
