    I’d rather replace a damaged roof instead of the whole structure and the resulting internal damage. Those straps are extremely strong. They can take a beating, but no doubt there’s debris that can destroy them. If something is big enough to do that, then the wind is the least of the roofs concerns, because the rest of the house is fucked. The possible pros definitely outweigh the cons of using them, even if the don’t end up working out.


  • If I have a mixed bucket of LEGO bricks and dump it in a pile, do I have a pile of LEGO or LEGOs? The fact that LEGO is plural was revealed to me within the last week, but I don’t know if it’s the same when talking about the individual parts vs ten packs of LEGO. It doesn’t feel right to say that the pile is a pile of 100 LEGO.

    The tonnage rating on those straps is insane. With relatively even force between them, they provide way more holding power than the roofs fasteners do. They would also help prevent that initial peel back that just creates a sail inevitably taking the whole roof.
