    skylights have no foam seals?

    Thanks. will watch the slip. From post #1-The home disclosures state "skylights on pole building have no foam seal talking pole barns not the house. Thanks. That was a question, finding one that fits the barn slope/peak. I'd have to believe this isn't a difficult task? Looks like kinda a...

    skylights have no foam seals?

    Some pics, there's snow on top so not a lot of light coming thru. This is only one of the barns, the other is pretty high, no way to get up there w/out a bigger ladder (was only at the house for an hour yesterday, bought a laddder to look). These barns look mostly used for cold storage (outdoor...

    skylights have no foam seals?

    Thanks! I think you nailed it! Why would someone build a pole barn and NOT install the foam seals under these? They look relatively cheap? I did find a pic online of the home, here are the barns below. What is the best way to remedy this? can I buy aftermarket 'foam' strips and install from...

    skylights have no foam seals?

    I do have a question in to the seller thru my Realtor to see what the seller meant by their comment. Just to get clarification. Is there a way to tell what company manufactured the barn? I am unsure if builders put a stamp on it somewhere. That could help if I need to get parts etc. or get...

    skylights have no foam seals?

    I have only been able to look at it a few times as I don't own the home (yet) and have put in an offer on it. I will see it again tomorrow morning but one of the roofs is pretty high and has 6-8" of snow on it so no way of getting up to see how far it extends down? I assume its somehow bolted...

    skylights have no foam seals?

    This makes sense to me. Thanks. I assume it was a venting thing w/ where the skylight is and its V shape (per pic in post #1). If it were a flat skylight replacing a metal rectangle of roof, that'd be a different story completely. By 'renovate' you mean?? (if you could clarify) I do want to...

    skylights have no foam seals?

    Am wondering what the cost of something like this would be. "Foam" would degrade over time so doesn't seem appropriate to use 'foam' (to me) Some kind of silicon sealant seems more appropriate? but one still may want venting? (airflow) Is this the type of item folks hire people to do? I am...

    skylights have no foam seals?

    thanks, though see image on post #1. skylight runs along the top peak of the roof (its /\ shaped), so water would run down the side and then need to go back upwards to leak into the pole barn? or are these seals for this type of skylight just for bugs/critters etc

    skylights have no foam seals?

    Hello. Looking at purchasing a home that has 2 pole buildings. Neither is insulated or heated, currently have minimal power, gravel floors, mostly for storage for outdoor equipment (though looking to change that upon purchase). Midwest area where we have winters/snow, rain, etc. Each building...

    Drilling into concrete slab for bracket

    can buy a 2x2 square of concrete at any landscape yard, put in place, then drill into that mounting toilet on top. considering the cost to pour a slab (to me at least) that is the direction I'd go...
