    Drove right into one yesterday morning in the dark at 5:30am just south of Arlington/Dallas area ...cracked my windshield in 2 places

    I knew thunderstorms were going to pop but usually the atmosphere is stable early morn and doesn’t produce hail

    Most hail in Dallas area between 2pm to 10pm

    I hate it when I'm expecting to pay about 500$ to get the pool heater working and cleaned only to find out that the heater is toast!!! The new one should be arriving tomorrow and installed tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning.

    How did the rest of your vehicle fare? We had another hail storm since then that one didnt phase me the damage was already done from the first one. Sorry to hear about your predicament say it with me I hate effing hail storms.

    Have the roofers that do your neighbors roofs inspect your roof if they find damage file a claim with your insurance company look at your vehicle in the sunlight bend down level with the hood and look closely if you dont see any damage you got lucky.

    I asked one of my insurance companies storm claims team to come look at my roof first before I filed a claim. They knew my area had claims and agreed to come out. They found damage where I didn't see any. They went ahead and filed a claim.

    I went ahead and put on a hidden fastener steel roof. Guaranteed for a hundred years, paint guaranteed for 75. That house will never need a roof in my lifetime.

    I hate it when someone says that they are going to update your servers when they get to working on the subnet set that they are on and they will let you know when they get there.

    Then, they don't do any of that and update the subnet...but leave your servers off the update list. So your servers don't get updated.

    Then, in the status meeting with senior leadership that you aren't in 'cause you weren't invited, senior leadership points to your servers on the report and asks why they aren't done. The project team then blames you for not following up and your manager comes back at you and tells you that you messed up and that's why the servers aren't done. Despite the fact that you are part of infrastructure security, not the server infrastructure team and you aren't management, just a lead engineer getting told by your oblivious manager that you messed up because everyone else didn't do something.

    But, it's your fault for not following up with those people despite them saying that they would handle it. But it's still your fault despite the fact that you are not part of the server infrastructure team, you are not the manager of the server infrastructure team, you are not the project manager for the upgrade process nor are you the manager of the project managers. So despite having no authority or responsibility for the project or to make sure that the infrastructure team does not only what they are supposed to do but what they told you they would do in the project meeting about it, you're still responsible. Because you didn't follow up despite being explicitly told you didn't have to. So you're responsible because you didn't do any level of management's job and play babysitter to people that you have no authority over who were supposed to have their job handled.

    I am really tired of dealing with amateurs masquerading as professionals.

    People who think the solution to one of their headlights going out is to drive around with their high beams on either for more visibility or so they don't get pulled over for having one side out. I hate you.

    Was thinking about those steel roofs myself. Tell me, does it sound noisy when rain or hail hits that metal roof ? Is there some sort of sound barrier they put under it ?

    Was thinking about those steel roofs myself. Tell me, does it sound noisy when rain or hail hits that metal roof ? Is there some sort of sound barrier they put under it ?

    No not at all noisy. All but one side I tore off down to plywood, put down 30# felt and laid the steel down. One side I left shingles on but laid down 1/4" fanfold foam then the steel over. I do not recommend that I was extremely dissatisfied with that small section, and never did it again.


    Now the steel I used was 18" not the 36". All fasteners are under a steel lip that the next piece locked on to. Mine I bought from Menards. At this time there is now many types, some now look like shingles and are the size of shingles. I do not know the warranty of them. I also didn't have a bunch of vent pipe sticking out of the roof to cut. My three vents were very easy to cut tightly and put a rubber boot with an internal easily moldable piece of metal to mold to the steel surface. Mold to surface pull up lay down beads of silicone under flange, screw down with neoprene washer screws. 100% leak free.

    The steel I used was IIRC class 5 rated for hail, fire and high winds. The section I used the foam under was the only section to show a few dents after a bad storm with near golf ball sized hail. One of the reasons I would steer clear of foam under the steel. The steel also made the attic and house cooler as it reflects so much heat away. While doing it in cooler weather the reflection from the sun made you very hot even though it was less than 70°. You could really feel to heat coming off it. Mine was a dark gray color, it also had a very high energy rating. It also doesn't hold snow and rain like a asphalt roof. During high snow you could hear the THUMP on the ground as the snow slid off during snowstorms. I quickly understood why the manufacturer warned against having gutters installed. You'll have no ice dams in the winter as the little sun you get warms the steel enough to clear any ice or snow on the roof.

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT

    The worst thing about metal roofing is also the best thing -- it sheds snow. That's why it is so popular here in the Frozen White North. It can also be a little hazardous when one is shoveling outside ;)
    ... and, if the snow is wet/heavy/slushy, the sound of it plopping to earth can be enough to awaken one in the middle of the night.
    On the other hand, one doesn't have to worry too much about one's roof collapsing under a heavy snow load -- i.e., don't have to shovel off the roof, or use a roof rake. :)

    with the metal roof you do not want gutters up in the snowy North, but where it never snows would you use gutters?

    People that make minor speed adjustments with their brakes instead of letting off the gas. You know what I'm talking about every 2 seconds brake lights. And because you needed to buy a land yacht and I can't see what's going on in front of you I'm hitting my brakes as well.

    Usually when they use that term you know dang well it's going to be confusing and vague as hell.
    My old boss was like that he wanted you to know how much smarter he was by using huge words and paragraphs of instructions. Then I'd sum it up in 10 words or less so my coworkers understood and he go yes exactly...

    I'm glad they fired him.....
