Dead Valleys on roofs

No, not death valley, but dead valleys, also known as dead pockets.

Not stucco, but a condition I have seen and wondered what to do about it.

No, we don't do roofing. I just want the public to be aware of dead valleys, and here are a few solutions.

This method of using a cricket is great, but before the finished roofing goes on.

Another cricket on a dead valley. I have to hand it to these people for recognizing this problem and using their skill to correct it during the framing stage.

A little html 5 tip. If you embed a youtube video, you want to backspace out frameborder=0. This is obsolete and won't validate with the W3C parser. What does it mean when your site doesn't validate ? Errors can be read by the big search engine, and cost you position. Your page may display OK, but the search engine knows all, sees all.

Thanks so much dear readers, for reading all these years, and for all the comments.
