      It’s hard to do with slate tiled roofs. The slates have to overlap to keep water out and the tiles aren’t flexible. So when you get to a corner you basically start the layering process over again.

      They sell corner pieces for slate, but they’re pricey. So you typically see them do metal flashing in the corners, or some fancy tiling like in the post.

      I’m guessing they just did the corners in this post, the rest of the roof looks older. Probably just replacing some bad flashing with something more permanent.

    You ever notice these memes are always framed as a man complaining about his partner who is a woman? In a normal world there would be a roughly equal amount of memes framed as a woman complaining about her partner who is a man. What can we conclude from this disparity?

    Is it that men are just more likely to whine and complain than women? No, surely this must be a case of women being uptight and not appreciating anything outside their narrow range of hobbies and interests.

    I mean, surely this woman’s failure to appreciate a complex carpentry/roofing job isn’t at all related to the fact that the carpentry/roofing industry is extremely biased towards hiring men and thus women in general have wayyyy less incentive to learn this much about carpentry/roofing unless they are just specifically interested in those things for some weird reason.

    I know its a dumb meme, and I am not singling out OP or even this meme, I just want to see more women-complaining-about-uptight-men memes.
