I think it means there’s a coal burner on the property.
I could use some of those, any idea where to get them, Ryan?

Here is some on Amazon…
I’m not Ryan, Marcel, but they also come in the box whever you buy a GFCI receptacle, at least they have for all I’ve bought over the years.

Looks like a partial flue erection. You think the little blue pill will help?
Ouch!
Where’s “down here”?
It always helps to fill our one’s signature.

Currently reside in Texas.
My buddy and his family in Houston didn’t mention hail but got hammered by wind and water with Beryl.
It seems like the just had a major storm in May, too.

Yea, Houston apparently got some damage. Pretty quiet in central Texas.
My image wasn’t really from hail, just a badly built addition/attached shed kinda thing on a manufactured home.

I was thinking basketball sized hall.

Sure, the extra attic space is great, until the ceiling caves in.
Now they have to move the water heater and air handler… again

Inspected a house today for a 97YO lady whose house was struck by lightning a few weeks ago.
Because she knows the neighborhood and all the people, she’s moving to a house that happened to be on sale about 3 doors down. That’s the house I was inspecting.
Anyway, she saw a flash of lightning, heard the boom and figured it hit close. Went back to watching TV.
Not long after a neighbor, who knows her door code(intentionally, they all do), came in and told her her house was on fire. She got out fine and is pretty spry for a 97YO.
The initial strike was pretty potent, blowing a bunch of material all over the place, but the subsequent fire did most of the damage.

What’s wrong here?
Check out that tile… 3 stories up from a public sidewalk at a major university. The apparent 1926 steel nail holding the tile rusted and broke.
One of the few cases where I did an on site instant repair or harm reduction. I had the building manager clear the sidewalk below, and I gently lifted that tile out off the roof.
(Not the obvious hanging tile, the sliding one)
