Is this hail damage?
This is a pop quiz by the way. I should have titled the thread, "What caused this damage?"

If there are other similar holes within a 10" x 10" area, yes. IF it's the only 1 or 2, No. I know a few ins co adjusters ,if you'd like i can have them look at this picture.
LOL... given the missing material, it likely came from the inside... I'm going to assume it was a rhetorical question... (since AFAIK, Sturving IS an adjuster)
no report of shots fired in the area?
can we get something for scale to calculate the caliber for bonus points?
NO, no it is not!!!
during the massive storm that rolled through Cheyenne a few years ago, I had $8,400 in damage to my truck, and got a new roof and gutters. The storm was shattering windshields, moon roofs etc.
That is a HOLE! Meteorite, falling tree branch, bullet, but not hail.
Please tell me that isn't your roof, Stewie.

That's definitely the kind of "hail damage" you get when cleaning loaded guns in the house.
Looks big.... maybe someone was trying to unload their .50 cal muzzle loader the 'old fashioned way'?
30-06 FMJ?
Drum roll please...
Alien probe.
This is apparently how to celebrate New Years/Independence Day around Evans and Broadway.
Also, I'm going to keep these pictures forever so I can explain to roofing contractors why that giant hole they're pointing at is NOT hail damage.
It was a 9mm by the way.
Have you called channel 9 yet and raised the alarm that there are right wing militias shooting your roof?
Wow, nice post... I used to work at the Yellow Cab Co. in Phoenix, and the shop foreman had a hobby that involved collecting bullets and shell casings from the lot and the cabs.. (in South Phoenix, (Central & Mohave for those that know the area).. he had them lined up one side of his desk, and 1/3 of the way across the front.
Lots of people in that area liked to celebrate by firing rounds in the air...
Looks like they need a new roof anyhow, it appears the aggregate between the tabs in pic 3 is gone. And who has three tab anymore, that is so 1980's.
1980's would be T-lock... makes repairs nearly impossible.Quote:

Thanks, I like to collect all my interesting photos. I know other members have good stuff as well. Maybe we should start a photo thread like that.Quote:

I've learned to judge a neighborhood by the roofs that are on the homes. Kind of like see what kind of cars are parked outside.Quote:

You can repair T-lock by just removing a shingle to use as a template and cutting new shingles out of 90lb roll roofing. Maybe not ideal, but certainly serviceable.Quote:

The old guy next to my dads house used new T-Locks on his house in 2005. I remember saying to my dad I didn't know that they still made T-Locks. I never had a house with two new roofs, I move in re-roof give it to the wife in the divorce and buy another.
So...why would you shoot your own roof? Seems like a bad way to put in a insurance claim
��
Tried it, lasted until the next windstorm... then filed a claim and got a new roof. Turns out the sheathing underneath was compromised along that edge... wasn't leaking inside the house, just in the eave area.Quote:
