Jim, that is a funny picture. But have you heard "wrong questions don't have right answers"?:D

I like the 4x 90 degree turns that make the full 360 degree turn around the p-vent. That took some bubba-enjuneering. :D

You can laugh at it but that guy named Billy Mayes on TV that sells all the gadgets and screams during the whole commercial will be selling all 4 of those sponges in a set for 29.95 before long. :)

NAHI forum recently held a crazy photo contest. Your's would have made it at least into the semi-finals, IMO. I'm jealous.

The irony is that it would have taken less duct tape and no sponges at all to just "fix" the problem from topside!

What a terrible waste of valuable resources! :)

I think the guy who did the "repair" is at least one rafter short underneath his roof deck. :rolleyes:

Yes.

One wrap around the pipe at the deteriorated flashing would have done it. ;)

Jerry...the one wrap around the deteriorated flashing had already deteriorated.

Okay, I guess it needed two wraps around the deteriorated flashing, one which is sacrificed so the other lasts longer?

I see how the mind of that guy worked - first, he wrapped the deteriorated flashing, when that deteriorated, he said 'I may not be smart, but I am a fast learner, I will put the next repair in the attic so the sun does not deteriorate it.'. :)
