When Doing A Home Improvement
Projects:
Always follow the recommended safe working
guidelines and instructions of any tool you are
going to be using. If there are instructions
Please read understand and follow all of them no
short cuts. there is only one you.
Always
Wear safety glasses.
When ever operating any kind of power tools
or when using any tools that could cause objects to
fly around. I remember a time years back when
working in a shipping and receiving place. I opened
a cardboard box that had 2" copper staples' holding
it shut and when I pulled it open. I saw stars one
of the staples hit me in the eye ball yes I had to
go to the hospital and missed a few days work.
Always check and Make sure:
All ladders, scaffolding are placed securely and on
a firm, stable surface. and are in good
condition.
If you are not sure.
That you can handle
the job but would like to try. At least
find someone who is such as a licensed or at leased
an experienced person who knows what it is you want
to do. |

Step-5 Picture-7
As you can see by following the proper steps makes
it very easy to pull the vent out.
Picture-8
After a
closer inspection, It turns out that
this device is actually a chimney "B-vent",
for a furnace or gas water heater. It was
never intended to be used for venting a
clothes dryer.
Picture-9
This is what the roof should look like after both vents were
removed. That was fun are you ready to repair the
roof holes and put things together.
Picture-10
I wanted to see what
was down that hole. Nothing but some unused
pieces of vent pipe insulation. This is one
of the handiest features of a digital
camera: being able to stick the camera
in a hole and shoot a picture with the flash
on, and then immediately view the image.
Removing The Shingles:
Picture-11
The shingle I'm pointing at is the highest
level that needs to be removed...but first I
have to remove the nails holding the
shingle above.
Picture-12
When shingles are installed properly,
the nails in one row will pierce the very
top of the shingle below. That way, almost
every shingle has eight nails holding it
down |

Work at a calm and
reasonable pace.
Many accidents are the result of taking short-cuts
or attempting to work too fast. and not drinking
enough fluids
You do not want to get to dehydrated.
