What kind of man lets his father-in-law touch his house?
You should sue his ass. Take him for everything he has, including his house. Preemptive strike against his daughter taking you to the cleaners in divorce court.

Yeah,that sucks. We had a lot of dripping on the inside of my house where the slanted roof meets up with the flat roof. Never had that issue in 26 years but really no surprise an ice dam formed in that spot. Roofer came out and shoveled all away and today will provide a "fix" to prohibit our seals from popping open again. |

similar problem with a crack along the grout line. Luckily I already have guys out who are building the basement and can get right on it. It's only money, right? |

Got home about 7, and all the gutters were dripping so if there is ice, there is still enough room for at least some of the water to get by. Most of the rooftop snow/ice is probably going to melt today.

Just get me to the Grill! No room to even move the snow to create the path. Today might be that day! |

Don't worry, it will freeze again soon, and everything will be back to normal. |

Here is my question: My downspouts are "buried" and run out.....maybe 12-15 feet from the edge of the foundation. However, because they are buried, they are frozen, and will be for some time - until the ground thaws. Yesterday, the water was backing up and flowing out of the seams of the tubes that lead underground. Am I screwed because of this or is it no different than having downspout that ends near the house? Is there something I can do to thaw out the buried tubes? |

It was either Mac or Mike North who once said: "Sanding a door for two hours ain't my thing". No one ever mistook me for Handy Andy either. |

Either that, or you could put the shop vac on reverse and blow into the endpipe, hoping the air warms and melts the ice. I don't think using a hair dryer would be practical, although it would probably work if you were extremely patient. Just let the thaw happen man. Watch your sump pump. If your house was graded properly the water should run away as it is. |

With this one, I'm not dumping another dollar into it. I bought it during the middle of the boom, and I paid waaaay more than it is worth right now. I'm not giving the next guy any gifts. Not even an upper decker when you move out? I'm... surprised. |

Shit man, but there's that feeling of having done it. Hell, when my ejector pump went out I could have had it done by a plumber for $1000. I did it myself for $350 in parts and materials. Granted it's a "shitty" job but I also had a lot of fun with the $650 I saved.
