- Comment on Remember when the body washes contained literal micro plastics and were advertised as such? 2 months ago:
I work in the plastics industry. TiO2 is definitely our pigment of choice for white colorant

Ram trucks also are the #1 vehicle for DUIs in the US.

- Comment on Leak and sheathing rot behind the end of a soffit. How do I fix this? 8 months ago:
You were correct. It was indeed an improperly done piece of kick flashing at the very bottom near the gutter
- Comment on Leak and sheathing rot behind the end of a soffit. How do I fix this? 8 months ago:
No diverter is present there at all. There’s a bunch of things going on here that could be causing this problem and I think it would be best to address all of them at once:
- No diverter
- No drip edge present along gutter, and I’ve seen water drip from soffit vents
- Vinyl siding was installed over original wood composite. It’s questionable whether the step flashing is effective given the setup
- Gutter potentially too small - I have to clean it out like 6 times a year even with gutter guards over most of it

Good point on three rafter tail. I’ll look in the attic in that area to confirm.
Yeah there’s flashing above there and it’s possible this is the source of the leak.
I’m afraid what I’m going to have to do is take all the siding off above here to expose the flashing and inspect it and repair. Then to remove and fix the rot I’m gonna have to take everything apart to get into that area behind the soffit - remove the gutter, fascia, etc to gain proper access

Oh for sure. Definitely not disagreeing with that

You don’t issue a physical recall over a software glitch though. They’ve had windshields fly out of their frames at highway speed, steering wheels come off, catastrophic lower ball joint separation, vehicles leaving their factory with missing brake pads…software updates only take you so far
