You misread my post.
Two rows, vs to courses... its the same. I agree you don't need two layers, it's pretty heavy stuff.

If heat tape is not for you, its not for you.
All outside outlets should be connected to a ground-fault breaker. There are also extension cords that have ground-fault protection.
Many homes around here run more than 75 yards of Christmas lights around their houses at that time of year. Many, like mine have fan powered blow-up ornaments for halloween, and or Christmas.
Just sayin,

No, you mis-posted and said two layers, which I understood to be a mistake and that you'd meant two courses, which was most of the gist of my post. Grace Ice & Water Shield is great stuff.
Being worried about electricity to the roof which could save all the hassle you went through, though somewhat understandable, is an ungrounded concern. I've been around those systems for decades and never seen an issue yet.
@kaichu dento I see now, that you corrected my post when you quoted it. Thank you for the gentle correction. You are certainly correct that while I said two layers, that I meant two rows, or two courses.

While back, mentioned I picked up a Metabo (Hitachi) 36V Impact Wrench, got a couple batteries,, really nice power tool batteries I must say.
Anyway, since I had the batteries, ran across a 36V brushless circular saw that's said to truly have the power of an AC plug in unit.
Got it absolutely brand new for $99 shipped, how could I pass on that

I'd get the ac power cord adapter for backup

After using the Makita 36v version worm drive last year and having not only day-long battery capacity, but plugged-in torque too. Not sure if I'll sell off my corded worm drives, one DeWalt and two Makitas, but I haven't used them in quite a while now.
Didn't cut any more than 7-8 2x10's today, but the battery meter still reads full charge right now and after all the usage I got out of a few of these that I was using last year, I'm finally in the not-intrerested-in-corded-saws-anymore category.

Thanks for the overall endorsement,, actually got mine in early January, been meaning to mention it.

After considering where I'd be utilizing the sander, the price, and the weight, purchasing a corded one was a no-brainer.
Some more 40-year-old Teak window trim midway through being refinished -
Corded!? I know. I know. I'll show myself to the door.

Sanders and nailers are my last two holdouts and I'm going to sell my 20v framing nailer in favor of air again.

Right? The unlimited supply of lighter power is hard to beat.

Finally going cordless with my worm drive was really unexpected, but they're all heavy to begin with and I don't notice it feeling any heavier than than my corded ones, so all my corded saws are going away.
Still haven't tried a cordless orbital yet and am actually holding out hope that possibly with a 4-5 amp battery that maybe I'll change over with them too, but the nailer is a whole different story. Pneumatic nailers are so light, and nailing is instantaneous, but my DeWalt framing nailer is heavy, and slow enough that doing overhead and frontal nailing feels more like a gym workout than it should.
One day my shed fell over
We cut it up with a cordless portable Millwalkee M12 skil saw and hauled it away
I was impressed

Did Tralfaz knock it over? Looks like he is admiring his work.
King of the hill.
It was dilapidated when I bought the house about 14 years ago. But one windy day the rolled roof shingles blew off. I said as long as it keeps my mower dry it'll stay. The siding kept getting holes in it on the rear and one day my mower was wet. So I set about taking it apart. The walls were covered with peg board. I started removing the peg board for the next building.
After 3 walls were finished I noticed it started to lean.
The front wall began to fall off.
Then one night while I slept it fell over. Tralfaz might have helped. He did knock off that front brace one day while playing fetch. But before that day a guy asked if I wanted help knocking it down. He was the guy with the truck and battery powered skil saw. We cut it up in about 4 hours and he hauled it to a place having a bon fire that night.
Going to try out the Ryobi 40 volt trimmer this year.
I can hook a snow thrower, pole saw, rotor tiller and other stuff to it.
I've been using an 18volt with a swivel head to lock in at a right angle for a fabulous edger but the 1 string as a trimmer left a lot to be desired. The twin string 40 volt number really does well at trimming the tough stuff. Variable trigger makes it easy to kick in turbo mode for thick stuff. But I would not reccomend it for daily, extended uses because it's not real durable compared those gasoline powered comercial numbers.
Like any trimmer, the string matters. The 0.80 it came with is plenty durable in grass or along a sidewalk, but for fences and edging I don't have high hopes. It can use up to 0.95 so my "good" string will fit. I ran it for 15 minutes at 4 bars and still had 4 when done. The real test will be at another yard I help with where it doesn't get trimmed very often. That'll be the true test as it takes over an hour using a high torque gasoline powered number. But after using this one for 15 minutes I had enough confidence in it to give away my gasoline powered Stihl to my brother.
BTW the photo is backward so robots won't use it on their search engines hits.
