Thread: TREC Roof Inspections

I have long been at odds with the TREC Inspector Committee (or whatever it is they call themselves nowadays) and their misguided SOP for inspectors. At the top of the list, during the last revision for the worst, stands the requirement to rip off shingles in order to ascertain that they have been properly fastened. As if this were of the utmost importance.

The attached article indicates that the NRCA feels the same way as I do. Wouldn't it be nice if the authors of our SOP actually read things and kept up with the times, instead of shooting from the hip, or lower?

Don't bother to copy this and send it to them (as if most of you actually would). I already took care of that little chore.

That is one architect who definitely needs an editor to proof read his writings.

However, yes, the article contain excellent information.

Funny

Not yet have I been able to lift a shingle with out causing damage to that shingle. Hmmm, those darn things are just glued down to well.

Oh well. At least the effort is there

JP: What then, you would want a roofer to proofread your stuff????

Aaron, thanks for the link to NRCA. I haven't read any of their literature.

I do reference ARMA literature at times in my reports.

Jake: ARMA is OK. NRCA is better, in my opinion. Certainteed also produces a wealth of good information from their roofing research. Other sources include ASTM, ANSI, UL, ICC-ES, FEMA, Texas Department of Insurance, Texas Tech Wind Science & engineering Research Center, and the list goes on . . .

Hey AD... a little off topic to your post but since this is a Texas issue are we to assume you're from Texas and not just the 'southwest usa?'

If so, maybe you should update your profile location and include your full name so we all know with whom we are conversing. It would add much more credibility to your posts.

Thanks

Matt: Though I understand your reasoning here, I must point out a few cogent points that may clarify my choice of location wording.

1. Texas is the Southwest.

2. Texans do not need the added credibility others might find comforting.

3. The rest of the contiguous 47 states which are currently genuflecting at the border of Texas may think they will become like us someday through osmosis, but that is never going to happen.

Ah, Aaron

You left out a few but who is counting

Ted: I thought a couple of hundred would suffice for now. I didn't want to thoroughly shame all of the Texan wannabees. I'm not that kind of guy.

I could have mentioned that we would still be communicating via fax or stringed soup cans if it weren't for Texans. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs would have ended up as geek accountants without the boys at Texas Instruments. For the gearheads there would be no Shelby Mustangs sans Carroll Shelby.

I purposely left the Bush assholes in the list, not because I really consider their Yankee asses Texan, but because, though they are over-the-top F'd Up, they are somewhat entertaining whenever they aren't wrecking the government or the world economy. Like watching village idiots in action. A kind of cathartic, but for the grace of Sam Houston, there go I, kind of thing.

Aaron,
Thats an impressive list. Really though, I don't need the recognition. I'm a private kind of guy.

Rick

Thats an impressive list. Really though, I don't need the recognition. I'm a private kind of guy.

Rick: Now there, don't feel left out. Like I told Ted, if I posted the entire list of Texas celebrities on here several things would occur simultaneously and instantaneously:

1. The Hann and his Foo Dogs would run out of bandwidth, leaving the sun-spotted Flahidian standing on one leg.

2. The majority of the posters here would become despondent and start looking for sunnier climes.

3. By tomorrow the traffic here would be inextricably gridlocked.

Feel left out? I was impressed just to be on the list.

Ted: Sorry, I don't think Rick can answer. He's been blasted to the point of prevention on another thread.

I dont' even have the third eye yet, but I can see my name on the "list" that i posted.

Its right there under the "H's" directly below Howard Hughes.

So you did sneak that in there. How about copy write infringement being passed on to Aaron for tampering with his Texas wannabee list
