Dr.ROOF Said: yall is singular...all yall is plural.

Thank you. I'm glad someone can speak proper redneck.

y'alls is actually the possessive form of y'all.

The question is, Are we talking about asphalt or pitch roofing repair?

B) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :unsure: B) P.S. FYI yalls the extra plural form of y'all. Refers to at least ten people.

OK , it is now official . This is a yalls . My take on this is similar to Jeffs . About all I do any more when I'm home . Roof repairs . I learned from experience . Also tutored by whom I consider the best in the area . Legends in my mind worthy of a Hall of Fame . My favorite experience was on a commercial roof . Many many attempts by various roofing contractors or hacks at repair . A new maintenance man brought me to the job . All the usual places smeared and or repairs by others . No luck . I climb up unto the roof . After assessing the situation I go into a Zen mode . Closing my eyes looking from within " Patience young grasshopper " I distinctly hear Master Po silently guiding . Observe ,Do you see the ants at your feet?' Marching towards the problem? I open my eyes and look down at my feet to see ants there. Here they come. Industrious amazing ants . Follow the ants . Patience and observations pays off . 10 foot away from any repair or smeared roof cement . The ants lead me to it . B) ;) ;) B) B)

If the roof is old, be careful not to create collateral damage. You might be accused of moving the leak.

The scraping part has to be done carefully if you want a good patch. Once you get to bare membrane, you have to keep loose rock away from your work. You have to clean any dirt off. This includes loose flakey material from degraded membrane. You may need to prime. A quality repair is a marvelous thing to behold. But some membranes are at the point of critical collapse. If they reach this point, three months after your quality repair you may return to find thirty feet of split membrane. Cut out a small piece of the membrane clear through and check for how brittle it is before you make any promises to anybody, or even any insinuations, about the value of the patch.
