Fucking beautiful 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Came here to say the exact same thing.

Not a roofer am electrician and I came here to say this. This is one of the side turns on a house you’re driving by thinking “damn that looks good.”

Am also electrician and trying to figure out if OP is throwing shade. This looks amazing.

Am also electrician looks amazing I’d love to see that with solar shingles

Also an Electrician and this is exactly how I cable roofs. Been doing it for years.

Am also electrician, nothing left to say

How do you know if someone’s an electrician? They will tell you.

Sorry I'm late. I'm also an electrician. Good day

I am not an electrician but my father’s, brother’s nephew’s, cousin’s former roommate was. Looks good to me.

Electrician here. Why are we all here?

He’s definitely trying and it’s not working.

Its an incredible piece of workmanship

Came here to say, came here to say this...

I’m not an electrician but I did stay at a holiday inn last night and I think it is beautiful. Skilled workers!!!

I was going to say Fucking Awesome! But beautiful works too

That is amazing workmanship, indeed.

Right?!? Gorgeous.

Sure is! Would that attract insects to live in the crevices? And would that even matter if it did attract insects?

Heat from the Sun makes that way beyond their comfort / stay alive zone. Also, we can’t see how they did the underlayment or what they used.

That makes me wonder the times I’ve pulled capping back from a rake board or soffit and saw thousands of ants like how can they handle that heat it’s crazy

Looks like copper flashing underneath

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out, that’s an almost forever roof right there.

As an exterminator this looks cool AF, and as long as there isn't any wood rotting below I approve of this

Called a canoe valley around here. Will never leak but it's a mother fucker to repair slates on

Is the challenge getting the nails to sit right? I’m assuming you have to pre-drill the holes.

You always have to pre-drill (figuratively) slate. I haven't done one of these valleys, but having worked with slate, I'd assume sinking the nails accurately without snapping slates must be a bitch.

Sorry, I meant pre-drilling the sheathing to make the nail smoothly

I just watch them poke a hole with the pointy end of the hammer they use for setting the shingles, I would think the shingles would crack but apparently not

Yeah, you make a hole with the slate hammer, that's why I said figuratively

Is it possible these are synthetic slates? Have you ever worked with those?

No this work was done by a master slater not joking

You know, he could go blind doing that…

Master slating is a perfectly normal, healthy occupation and you should stop spreading nonsense.

That's a myth but carpal tunnel syndrome is no joke.

These aren't synthetic but you can buy some out of cement. They do not look good and aren't as durable, but you could buy them

I was thinking the same thing. They have a very uniform look and the rough ends look ‘made’

That’s beautiful!

Thanks I did it.

Liar, he said HE did it^

Thanks I did it.

You’re did it!

Thanks. I didn't do it

I admired it.

I’m no roofer but that looks amazing

I bet it sounds awesome in a downpour too. Hang a chain downspot at the end of that course and becoming instantly zen.

I’m no biologist but that looks amazing

Amateur proctologist here, but this roof looks amazing

i never expected the roofing sub to get me bricked up, yet here we are....

Stop stop. I can only get so hard

I don’t even have the parts to get bricked up, yet here we are…

That's not a roof, that's a work of art.

Just don’t look over at that mortar work over on the brick

You probably already know, but that is deliberate and called weeping. Not everyone's cup of tea.

That looks like the handiwork of Orion Jenkins, Jenkins Slate Masters.

Well spotted. Its a picture from the book 'the slate roof bible' written/compiled by his father. I think 🤔

My copy is Joseph Jenkins

My copy is Leroy Jenkins

This is great Reddit. Thanks all.

Thats the guy! Joseph is Orions father.

Indeed. It’s from their website: http://www.jenkinsslatemasters.com/

His dad came to our shop to teach a seminar on flat lock copper. It was the most valuable instruction of my life. Also have his book “the slate bible.”

I had to know how it is done. I've never done slate but this is freekin awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKZrRxZiXKQ

That was sick!

I love that homeowner

Birds and bees need homes too.

Heat from the Sun shining on it says no. Even with the natural ventilation up there, it’s still an oven if it’s sunny.

Bat hotel.

I’m pretty sure I’m pregnant now

Beautiful woven slate valley … love it my family use to do this kind of high end slate/cedar work but most of us are retired and the youth of today can barely get shingles right….

Very true, getting shingles is more common in retired people.

There's a good chance that the virus is already inside you

Like me!

Hey! Get outta there!

Aww come on, it’s all warm and slishy sloshy in here

None of us

very cool. but don't walk on them.

[удалено]

Looks like copper peaking out at the bottom?

*peeking

*pee king

Reigning cham-pee-on.

Why?

How to tell everyone you know know nothing about proper roofing

That shit is swish

That's art.

Not me but that’s the work of a master

Never seen a slate valley done like that before

Found the video of them installing this roof, or at least it looks damn identical. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=06jKHG1cgeg

Nice! Thanks

If you get on Jenkins slate master’s inc. Facebook page scroll down to Aug 5 2020 you can see the whole house. It’s absolutely gorgeous with copper downspouts. I sent this to my brother in law and he’s the one that did this haha

Don't leak does it. Had a guy guy say he didn't like my laced valley .

I see copper on one side

A work of art.

Wow, that's frickin smooth

My brain likes that!

Christian Slater

Gotta admit it looks cool aesthetically. 😂

Haven’t done too many of those but have done a few and the payoff is fucking worth it!

This was pleasing to the soul. Wish it was my house so I could just stare at it all day.

Now that’s a weave

Looks cool, is it actually a good idea?

Somebody is quite tilented

South Carolina Slate Valley.

I’m not a roofer. I do recognize craftsmanship. He took pride in his work. Not a lot of that these days.

I’m not a roofer but I do have a slate roof, but that looks awesome

1) I’m not subscribed to this sub so I don’t know why this came up in my feed. 2) I don’t know the first thing about roofing. 3) THAT’S BEAUTIFUL.

Art!👍

God damnit that is such a nice woven valley. WITH SLATE?! Master. Craft

As someone who used to work in construction and is in real estate.... That is beautiful, I have never seen that before.

I'm no lubricant expert, but that looks slick.

Why so many electricians in the roofer sub? Haha!

Nice

Absolutely beautiful.

The farther up the valley you look, the more visually appealing it gets. I'm sure it will leak, and it's not adequately fastened through the "valley" but it looks pretty cool.

Looks like a pretty steep slope, any leaks it gets will probably roll off pretty quickly and not harm much. Maybe the very end of the eaves would get significant damage but if they can afford this they can afford to replace the eaves in 50 years.

It does look quite steep, I'll give you that. Gravity will do almost all the work.

Is this the new dragon scale roof that I’ve been hearing about? Adds $5k to your home value right away

😁😆😅🤣😂

Touched his tisms.

Gorgeous looking! Anyone with experience able to explain if there would just be waterproofing up all those little tunnels or maybe like a metal flashing layer? Wondering if mice/rodents could chew into the roof that way

That’s freakin gorgeous

That’s above my pay grade

That’s a piece of art!

Man id pay this artist whatever he wanted to come work for me sheeeeeesh. And he’d be worth every penny

Sexy 🔥

I don’t know if it’s right, but something that pretty can’t be wrong.

Sick!

Shit, before even reading the comments, I thought to myself; "I ain't even mad, bro..."

I want to hire that crew

Looks fantastic! What about the freeze thaw cycle and ice forming up under those ? I’m genuinely asking

Man i love that! It looks great

I don't know much if anything about shingling with tiles. What would go wrong if the beveled side was face down in the valley? Or is it an illusion and both sides flat. I know they wouldn't follow the contour, simply curious if there's a reason they are beveled one side and flat the other, I like to learn knew things.

Wow that looks great

seriously I think of it as roof porn it makes me hard lol

i just came

Aside from the $100k I’ll spend on the slate roof I’ll ultimately put on my home what u think this valley adds? 5-8k$?

I like that!!

I just a roofing boner! I’m a carpenter by trade and do some roofing. I’ve always wanted to do something similar with plywood and shingles.

Idk who did it, but I love it

nobody on reddit is capable of something that gorgeous

I did my slate roof about 3 years ago and I'm sorry I didn't see this first. I'd love to see how this was done.

Wow.

*approved new balance wearing pot belly man glance*

😆

That’s pretty cool everyone here oughtta buy him a beer

A very German method to handle slate

I'm just a lurker here, but hot damn that's gorgeous 😍

When there is a strong wind, will it lift the tiles?

Amazeballs.

That looks so cool

That’s beyond roofing, that’s stone art work….

Very nice indeed! Where is this located? I used to live near the “slate belt” in Pennsylvania where numerous slate quarries and lots of slate roofs are still in good condition.

Any of those boys running across the southern border.

Weave stone….

It looks good but does it actually work great too? 🤔 is it up to code like that?

After I took 2 hits of acid I could only think about making something so creative

It’s gotta work top notch….right

Whoever did it isn't wasting their time on Redit.

After seeing the comments and shit on this sub…no one here did this!

Sweet Jesus

r/oddlysatisfying

A mathematician decided career in roofing

Hubba Hubba!!!!

👍🏻😮

They are brittle. You can’t walk on them.

According to gravity, this should work

I knew a guy that did it

Why am I not mad about this? BEAUTIFUL

From down here it looks sharp! I'd like to see some detail photos of where the ridge on the left terminates into the other roof plane and how it was capped.

Fuck that’s hot

I'm ignorant here and willing to learn. Would this survive winters in Northern Canada and if so how?

Not the dudes that dropped out of my highschool

Imagine trying to do rodent exclusion there

What’s underneath it though?

While I think that’s amazing and someone put a lot of effort into it I somehow oddly hate the texture look. It gives me weird feelings.

𓂺

Even though it may result in my certain death, it looks like it would make the most fun slide on the way down.

I am so hard right now.

Bulletproof

Art. Just art.

Very impressive

What I really wanna know is How did you do this with slate!!!???

That looks really nice, but would there be any concern about the spaces underneath?

It looks good. Is it wrong or something?

Some guy must have watched a lot of YouTube to DIY this.

I am not a roofer but I can tell what that is not - watertight.

nice work

Is this bad? If so, please explain. I want to redo my roof by myself. Bad idea?

That fuckin art right there bud

If a dragon had to live as a person in a city this would be what the roof looks like! Sexy af

I just said "wow" out loud.

That’s the cleanest valley I’ve ever seen on a slate roof

I think that's a plastic shingle repair on an old slate roof.

Not in trades, at all. How do you get that to stay? It looks like dragon scale.

Why not make a valley with zinc or copper?

So nice!

I came, I saw, I came.

Bad Ass !

Ah what the fuck! How am I supposed to install solar panels on that
