    Restricted gas line on private property. Suspect water - how to evacuate it?

    Nice it's working. We have nothing like that around here.

    Shed With Gambrel Roof - Exposed Nails

    While this is most correct.... If you were to do the roof in the heat of a hot day, the shingles would permanently take that bend and adhere at the bonding strip.
