Leaving Tampa, Osprey, Fort Myers ? ?

[WIMUSKY]

Cheapboatkev was hunkered down in Fort Myers. Haven’t heard from him for about 24 hours … hope all is well. Just saw the causeway to Sanibel Island partially collapsed …

Sounds like Kev is fine, just in the dark. Wife posted last nite...

We noticed this afternoon that we have one roof shingle which folded over during Ian and is partially broken.

A neighbor gave us a few shingles from his recent roof job, so we went out and bought some sealant and roof nails.

We watched a YouTube video on how to replace a shingle. The boy (and my wife?) will go up to the roof tomorrow to effect repairs. (I'm not allowed on the roof. )

I'm not sure if we should just glue the folded shingle back into place or go ahead and attempt a full repair.

Would need to see the broken one, but fixing one is pretty easy. Remove broken/torn and remove nails without breaking shingles above it. Install new and so long as its covered about 6 inches each side your good

If it's just folded over, a tube of roof caulk and fold it back and glue it down

Or replace as AD posted

This is the video we watched. Seems like a pretty straightforward job. I just wish that I could get up there and do it myself. The boy tends to be too rough at times. Teenagers.

Don’t glue the old one back down. Follow what the video says and you’ll be good to go. Don’t go up and try it when it’s hot you’ll end up tearing the shingles because the tar strips on the shingles will be holding tight, and you can do more damage. Do it early in the morning when the roof is cool .you’ll be able to pop them up fairly easily. Take your time and don’t force anything.

Thanks, I'll pass that info on to the boy.

We got the shingle changed out no problem. My wife and the boy went up there and did it exactly like they showed in the video. Took very little time for two amateurs.
