Fuck It Friday!
I was meant to post chapter 2 of With you I'm Home today but alas, life got in the way. In the meantime, enjoy Eddie delivering a baby!!
Tagged by @daffi-990, go check out their Fuck It Friday RIGHT NOW for Buck and May's first meeting!
“Okay, Amber, I know it hurts but on your next contraction I’m going to need you to give me the biggest push you’ve ever done,” Eddie instructs. “Cam, if you want to watch baby come out, now’s your chance, man.” Cam gulps, looking a little pale, and shakes his head. “Y-ya know, I think I-I’m good here, thanks” he stammers, and Amber rolls her eyes. “He threw up when our oldest was born and fainted at the second. Pathetic” Eddie snorts, as if he wasn’t a second away from doing the same thing at Christopher’s birth. “Hey, it happens.” It strikes Eddie how odd it is that he’s having a very casual conversation with someone while they have a face sticking out between their legs. The baby’s face, thankfully, isn’t getting any more purple, and Eddie briefly remembers that babies won’t actually take their first breath until their bodies have passed entirely through the birth canal, something about the pressure of their chest suddenly being decompressed being enough to draw their lungs open and for them to take their first breath. A quick glance at Chimney reveals that the man is ready to receive the baby, a towel draped over his arms. Hen’s breath hisses as she inhales sharply as Amber clamps down on her hand once more, the contraction building and building. Eddie wraps both hands around the baby’s head and neck, careful not to occlude the air way. “Push, Amber, push! That’s it!” he encourages as he applies a small amount of traction, the baby’s neck lengthening until the first shoulder pops free and then, suddenly, the rest of the baby follows in a slippery rush that’s got Eddie scrambling to support the body before the baby goes flopping onto the floor. “It’s a girl!” He’s holding the baby up, unable to tear his eyes away from the small, almost too small, slimy, and yet perfect human being in his arms, starting at her in amazement before remembering that skin to skin is key just after birth. Lion king moment over, he moves towards the expectant mother. Eddie’s dimly aware of the fact that he can’t hear any screaming as he lifts the baby up onto Amber’s chest. “Eddie?” Bobby’s voice is low, almost a warning, and Eddie knows, he knows he’s gotta do something, and fast. “Yeah, Cap, I know” He grabs a towel and scoots up so he’s at Amber’s side. He hasn’t even had time to inspect for damage… down there, but right now he’s got other priorities. Amber grabs his arm as he reaches over with a towel, covering the baby and begins to rub her back thoroughly. “I-is everything okay? Why isn’t she crying?” “Baby’s a little early and sometimes they need a little help breathing.” Eddie turns to Hen when it becomes apparent that this baby is going to need more than stimulation to get her breathing, his voice low and urgent. “Hen, I need you to clamp the cord and cut it, I’ve got to get her to Chim”. Hen nods resolutely and does as he said, placing two clamps about 2 inches above the start of the cord, and cuts into it with the scissors. It’s tough, almost chewy, and takes a couple of attempts before the cord is cut and Eddie swiftly brings the baby into his arms. “Chim, you ready for me?” Chimney already has the small mask out and the high flow oxygen set up. “Yes sir.” It’s been 40 seconds since the baby was born and she still hasn’t taken a breath. Eddie lays the baby out on the towels in front of Chimney and immediately focuses himself on resuscitation, leaving Bobby and Hen to reassure the parents. “Starting rescue breaths” Chimney announces, and he covers the baby’s face with the mask. Eddie holds her head stead, ensuring her airway is open, and Chimney administers the breaths. “Good chest rise” Eddie notes. “Keep going.” The tension in the room is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Eddie can vaguely hear Bobby and Hen talking with Amber and Cam in the background, their voices low and reassuring as they explain what’s going on. Eddie forces himself not to look over, not to see Amber and Cam’s terrified faces as he and Chimney encourage their daughter to life. “Come on, baby, breathe for me” he murmurs.

I was wondering maybe a titan shifter reader, like season 1 ish era, and Jean? Angst like he sees reader die and get eaten by a titan, and the entire titan thing like Eren? If that makes sense? I haven’t asked a request in so long I’m rusty lol
Just Another Suicidal Maniac
A/N: SO glad someone requested Jean right off the bat because I'm slowly entering my Jean-girlie era and I'm down bad y'all.
Rating: PG13
Warnings: angst, major-character death, gore
"You seriously worry too much." You dusted off your pants as you stood up, grateful that the only damage done by your rough landing was a couple of bruises and scrapes.
Jean, who was in the middle of said worrying, didn't bother to inspect himself first before giving you a once-over with his wide, brown eyes. "Worry? Me?" Jean mocked before gesturing out wildly to the chaos around the two of you with his ODM blade—Titans roamed the streets freely, hunting the many scouts leaping from rooftop to rooftop. "Wonder what I could possibly be worried about?"
"We've made it out of worse situations than this," you reminded him. "You always do this, you know. You have a tendency to let your imagination run wild and assume the worst possible scenarios."
"I like to be prepared for the worst." He pulled you behind a chimney with him to avoid being seen by a passing Titan. Once the Titan had stumbled out of range, he crossed his arms over his chest and sighed. "Sue me for caring, I guess," he muttered under his breath.
You couldn't help but chuckle. "I appreciate that you care." You held onto the soft moment while you had the chance—these days, they were rare. "I want you to worry about yourself though. If you got injured, or god-forbid killed, because you were worrying about me and not yourself, I'd never be able to forgive myself."
Jean's harsh gaze softened. "That's not-"
"Is that what you want? You want me to live as a guilt-stricken widow?"
"Okay, first of all," Jean rolled his eyes, "you've always told me that if I die, it'll be because of my own stupidity, so don't go acting like you think otherwise now. Secondly, we're not married so you wouldn't be a widow."
"Oh, so now you're gonna die and revoke my widow status."
Jean groaned. "How about I just don't die at all?"
You smiled. "I think that's a good plan."
"Armin!" You both gasped at the same time.
Before either one of you had the chance to draw out the sappy-yet-lighthearted moment any longer, a scream rang out in the distance. The both of you shared a look when you recognized the voice. Only one person was capable of emitting such a shrill cry for help.
Jumping out from behind the relative safety of the chimney, you surveyed the terrain in the direction of the scream. A few smaller Titans who were just barely taller than the surrounding buildings were ambling about, swiping at the air in a desperate attempt to swat the soaring scouts out of the air.
Without even checking to see if Jean was behind you or not—you just assumed he was based on experience fighting together—you fired your ODM tethers into the nearest building and took off toward your distressed friend.
"Don't worry. I'll handle it." Jean flashed a smirk before looping his hands under the girl and lifting her into his arms. He tried to play off the way he stepped back ever-so-slightly to counteract being thrown off balance but both you and Armin noticed.
When you arrived to the scene, you spotted Armin in a narrow alley slashing his blade back and forth at the Titan hand reaching for him. Behind Armin, the unconscious body of a fellow scout—a girl you didn't quite recognize—laid in the shadows. Thankfully for them, the alley was just narrow enough that the only part of the Titan able to fit was its arm; and it's arm wasn't quite long enough to reach.
Dropping down into the alley, you and Jean quickly assessed the situation. "Thank goodness you're here." Armin breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down beside the girl. "I found her unconscious in the street. I was able to drag her in here but I'm too weak to lift her out of here on my own."
"If you try to use your ODM gear with her in your arms you'll both be splatting into the nearest window like a bug," you told him matter-of-factly. "I'll distract the Titan, you and Armin get her out of here on foot."
"That's probably the best-" Armin wasn't able to finish his thought before Jean interjected.
"Are you crazy?" Jean furrowed his brows. "You're starting to sound like Eren and we don't need two suicidal maniacs in the 104th."
Hands on your hips, you eyed him. "You're worrying again, dear Jean. Unless you have a better plan than this is what we're doing."
"Well if you'd give me a minute I'm sure I could come up with something better."
"Not to rush you guys or anything, but I don't think she has a minute." Armin looked down at the unconscious girl and pointed out the blood that was now visibly seeping through her shirt. "She's losing a lot of blood."
"It would be safer if you skipped the killing part and just looped back around after we were safe," Jean said.
Turning your back on the others, you stepped toward the Titan hand just close enough that its large fingers grasped at the air less than a meter in front of your body. "Then it's settled. My plan it is." You scoped out the area the best you could from your position. "I'll go up to the roof and lure the Titan to the right. If I remember the formations correctly, you guys should be able to meet up with Levi's squad if you turn left. From there, you guys can get this girl help and I can loop back around after I've killed this big guy."
"And leave him to devour someone else? No thanks."
One day you would die and it would be a real shame if you hadn't taken every opportunity to truly live beforehand.
Jean opened his mouth to protest some more but by the time the thought had reached the tip of his tongue, you were already on the roof. You forced a quick smile down at the two boys before stepping to the edge of the shingles. You weren't stupid—you knew this plan was risky and dangerous, but that was what you had signed up for when you made the tough decision to join the cadets and then the scouts. As far as you were concerned, the definition of living was the continued decision to keep going in the face of a world full of risky and dangerous decisions.
Gripping the handle of your ODM blade hard, you began to bang it against the edge of the shingles at your feet. "Hey, big guy!" You shouted to direct the Titan's attention to yourself. "Why waste your time with them when I'm so much easier to grab?"
"Game on."
At first, the Titan was much more interested in the three grounded scouts over the single one above it. But then, it seemed to re-assess the situation and conclude that you were right. As soon the Titan's soulless, buggy eyes had locked onto you, you smirked.
As the Titan's hand reached out to grab you, you jumped out of the way at the last second. With the Titan fully committed to the chase now, you took off toward the right.
Jumping from building to building, you had to be careful not to stumble with the unsteady footing beneath you; the shingles on the rooves were old and slightly loose, and every time the Titan's hand slammed into the roof behind you in attempt to capture its prey, you had to re-steady yourself.
Glancing back over your shoulder for a brief moment, you were pleased to see that Jean and Armin had almost carried the girl all the way to the end of the street in the opposite direction. With a triumphant smile on your face and the belief that the plan was going to be a success, you began mapping out the area and deciding how best to maneuver killing this Titan when the time came. Your plan, however, was a foolish one plagued by one major rookie mistake; you had forgotten to account for the fact that there was never just one Titan to deal with.
As you fired your ODM tethers into a building across the street, you failed to survey the ground below you before stepping off the ledge. One second, you were gliding easily through the air and the next, a smaller Titan had leapt up from the street, mouth snapping shut. There was a blinding pain in your right leg and when your instincts kicked in, you shot yourself away from the Titan.
Without the capacity to plan any further ahead than getting out of immediate danger, you soon found yourself smacking against the cobblestone street hard due to not tethering yourself to another building in your attempt to escape.
What you felt was the paralyzing inability to save yourself.
You cried out as your body skidded against the ground a meter or so before slowing to a stop. Your vision was blurry from hitting your head a couple of times but when you looked down to assess the damage, you felt your blood run cold at the absence of your right foot.
A puddle of bright red blood was quickly pooling from your fresh stump and all ability to think critically had gone out the window. Shock had frozen you in place so much so that you didn't even notice the Titan approaching you or Jean screaming your name until it was too late. You knew you should get up and try your hardest to get out of there; that no matter how futile the attempt, you had to at least try. But right then, what you knew and what you felt were two vastly different things.
Jean, who was about to watch you die.
Eyes slowly travelling up to the Titan looming over you, you suddenly wished you had listened to Jean. Jean, who only ever looked out for your best interest because he truly cared about you. Jean, who put on an act in front of everyone else but let his true personality shine when it was just the two of you. Jean, who was standing at the other end of the street, screaming your name over and over again while Armin held him back from throwing away his life to save yours.
You didn't fight it when the Titan squeezed its fingers around your torso and lifted you from the ground. Accepting your fate, you closed your eyes and tried to focus on not screaming. Your last thought—the one interrupted by the sudden, all-consuming agony of dying—was that you hoped Jean wouldn't life the rest of his life as a guilt-stricken widower.
As the fear slowly started to wash away, replaced by an unnerving sense of calm, you averted your gaze from the Titan and instead decided to spend your last moment alive staring into the brown eyes of the horse-faced boy you fell in love with. You couldn't muster the strength to say anything—you weren't able to decide what you wanted your last words to be even if you could—so instead you raised your right fist over your heart in a salute and smiled.
━━━━━
Your consciousness felt familiar and yet different. You were still you, there was no denying that, but you were also someone else; something else.
Awareness assaulted your senses in an almost cruel fashion. After embracing the comforting finality of death, a sudden return to the land of the living was brutal. You wondered if this was why babies cried right after being born. Then you wondered why you were able to wonder anything at all.
There was no pain, but if you were alive again—or at the very least, not quite dead yet—you should have been overcome with pain.
Standing at full height, you towered above the buildings around you. Your legs were weak and exhaustion gnawed away at your limbs but compared to everything else, the concern of being tired was tucked deep into the back of your mind. Looking down at yourself, you felt confused but not necessarily startled by the sight of patches of pure muscle where skin should have been. Piecing together all the information you had gathered, you were drawn to only one conclusion.
When you finally decided to open your eyes and face whatever reality was waiting for you, you were greeted with a perspective you were not accustomed to. The world around you was smaller than you remembered, and when you placed your hands underneath yourself to stand up, they were larger than you knew they should be. You were larger than you should be.
You were a Titan-shifter.
First suicidal maniac tendencies and now this; Jean was right, you were more like Eren than you thought.
Jean.
Looking over to where Jean and Armin had been when you last saw them, you were slightly surprised to see them still standing there. You didn't know how much time had passed between your technical death and now, but the horrified looks on their faces hadn't changed at all. You knew they knew what had happened to you after experiencing the same phenomenon with Eren but their shock and terror made it seem like this was the first time they had ever seen a human turn into a Titan.
Then again, you supposed the shock and terror could have come from watching you die and then immediately watching you turn into a monster. That was something that would take some getting used to no matter the circumstances.
You wished you could speak to Jean, assure him that you were okay, but like Eren's Titan you were non-verbal. You opened your mouth and the only thing that emerged was a soft, defeated growl.
Despite that, Jean's eyes softened the way they only did when he was looking at you. Then his gaze shifted and the terror returned. When you followed his eye line, you spotted the same smaller Titan that had bitten your foot off running down the street toward Jean, Armin, and the still unconscious girl.
As the Titan darted past you, completely ignoring you in favour of the easy human targets, a new kind of instinct took over. Without even thinking about it—the only thought being protecting the people you cared about—you kicked the smaller Titan hard, sending it flying into the side of a nearby building. When the Titan still showed signs of life, you reached down and grabbed its head with your much larger hand. Letting out a blood-curdling screech, you called upon every last ounce of strength you had left and bit into the nape of its neck. Once you were sure it was dead, you tore the the Titan's head from its body and dropped the remains to your feet.
Looking back over at Armin and Jean to confirm their safety, your knees buckled beneath you. Drained of energy, the last thing you saw before your Titan body slumped forward was Jean rushing toward you.
"Before you accuse me of worrying too much, might I remind you that I literally just watched you die." Jean's voice was urgent yet gentle in your ear.
When your human body emerged from the nape of your Titan form's neck, your lungs reacted as if you had just resurfaced after being underwater and you drew in a deep, gasping breath. Hot steam billowed around you and as your spent body began to flop over. Before you fell, two strong arms wrapped around you from behind.
"Oh, Jean." You let yourself relax into his embrace. "I'm so sorry."
Jean hugged you tight and buried his face in the crook of your neck. "Don't apologize. Don't you ever apologize for coming back to me."

knock knock (matt murdock x reader)
rating: 18+
warnings: swearing, implied abuse, stalking
summary: matt saves y/n from a stalker, but can't shake the anxiety he sensed from her. they reconnect weeks later.
Sirens blared outside the drafty window, barely keeping y/n up. She acclimated to the discomfort of security in Hell's Kitchen during the day, but at night, she retreated back into her loft, crawling into her bed and hiding under her years-old comforter like a child awaiting the monster in the closet.
After checking her locks, she laid back down, convincing herself that perhaps the old system was fool-proof.
Though y/n proved to be the fool tonight as she swore she heard footsteps on the other side of the apartment door. They were heavier than she was used to - perhaps a tired delivery person fulfilling another order - but y/n remembered all deliveries must be dropped off at the front desk of the building. Maybe it's the wind from the chimney on the roof, y/n anxiously attempted to dismiss, or a goddamn rat going across the hall.
Y/n chewed on her lip as she stared at the doorknob of her door from the other side of her quaint (and overpriced) studio. With one hand, she reached underneath her pillow to pick up the pocketknife her best friend gifted y/n as a home welcoming necessity. You'll need this, y/n recalled her joking, trust me.
In a blink, the hall light shining through from under y/n's door shut off with a crash of a lightbulb, followed by clambering of limbs and, in minutes, heavy weight hitting the floor with a thud.
Y/n felt blind in the dark, afraid of the terror outside her supposed safe space, wondering for how much longer she would have to tremble with fear. She was tough, but not against potentially armed foes with sin on their mind and rage in their eyes - men were beasts, and she avoided them so, ecstatic to evade a situation similar to the damage her body already suffered.
Her thoughts stopped when her door knocked, the rap, rap, rapping on her door drawing her senses back to the moment of seemingly inescapable danger.
"'Xcuse me." a throaty, panting voice came through. "Please. Jus'let me in." his words slurred together in a half-conscious state as if his accent hasn't done enough justice.
It sounded familiar. Intriguing. Y/n pushed the comforter off from herself, sitting upright on her bed still cautiously. "...Who are you?"
"You've seen me 'round." the voice answered, voice hearty. "Trust me."
The words tore through y/n, disappointment knocking into her as she realized the source of the voice.
The man who could sense the fall of a raindrop, buzz of a fly, all miles away. He sensed the low dull sound of a heartbeat - one of the man stalking y/n weeks prior. Y/n wasn't blessed with the bountiful curse, but she thanked the masked fallen angel with words, then her hands on his.
He didn't tell her that night that he could sense the pheromones seeping from her pores, nor the heat rising to her face.
Y/n shuffled to the door, perplexed and apologizing already to the vigilante. She unlocked the deadbolt before greeting the fallen over guest, guiding him inside with a hand to his stomach, his skin burning underneath the geared suit.
"Thank you." he panted.
"How did you know it was me?" y/n's eyebrows furrowed.
The man cleared his throat, bottom lip glistening with what y/n thought was sweat, not saliva. "Could smell you from the lobby." he admitted, blushing as he plopped down on y/n's bed.
He knew well where he was, as y/n's scent overwhelmed his senses, only momentarily, before he felt y/n's touch on his chin. She was inspecting him, similarly to their last encounter after Daredevil knocked y/n's assailant unconscious. She was being curteous, he brushed.
"That's… can't decide between creepy and endearing." y/n squinted as she inspected the bruises and cuts in her view, briefly thinking of the ones covered by his carbon-bulletproof suit, if only she could get him to remove it…
The man without fear chuckled weakly. "Yeah. Uh, I hope you consider it the latter." he leaned forward, grunting to himself as he adjusted his posture. "There was a suspect headed toward his apartment a couple doors down." his breathing slowed, still slouched in a mild pain.
"Do you need me to grab anything for you? Icepack? Antidepressants?" Y/n strolled into the bathroom to snatch the first aid kit - a rundown box containing only three usable bandages, and a loose ovular tablet with miniscule inscription not even y/n could read this late at night - and hopefully presented it to the masked vigilante.
He smirked at her attempt at humor, and how she grinned, worry increasing her heart rate. She had no idea he was blind. "Hmm. I feel like a masked man running around in a suit and endangering himself wouldn't quite be the first contender for Xanax."
"I believe it's a generic for Zoloft, actually." y/n picked it up and studied the tablet under the moonlight. She hadn't noticed the man's eyes on her, staring into her. "Is being crazy your power, then?" Y/n's smile turned wicked as she inspected the vigilante's body from under her eyelashes.
He noticed it by the shift in her basal temperature. "Depends. Do you like a guy that can handle himself?" His lips curved into a smirk again, and y/n blinked, wondering if he was more of a double agent than a hero.
She decided to bite the hook, anyway. "Hmm," y/n pondered aloud, leaning her torso back to dramatically cross her legs. "If I'm in the mood for a man, I like one who can handle me." her eyes darted right over to Daredevil, who blushed and opened his mouth in response. "And especially…" y/n leaned toward the vigilante, "one who isn't afraid of showing me who he is underneath that mask."
It was all too tempting to him: the woman he admired since his first encounter, now titillating him. Impulsivity (and a nearly lethal level dose of arousal) drove Matt to remove his mask, eyes staring straight ahead at the intrigued y/n who inched closer to study the freshly revealed skin.
"Holy shit, you're…" it was y/n's turn to be breathless, she and Matt both noticing her heart racing. She lifted a hand to place on his cheek, which he welcomed with a relaxed exhale. He stared at her blankly, though his mind was on the rush of blood directing to her core, y/n's scent still dizzying him.
"Blind." he smiled cheekily. Y/n rolled her eyes at his answer, but he doubled down. "No, really. I-I can't quite see the way you do."
Y/n cocked her head, so close that strands of her hair were now reaching out for his shoulders. "What, so your superpower is you can't see how ugly the world is? What is it?"
"Well. I got into an accident as a kid, and lost it. But I gained abilities with all of my other senses, so I'm able to use that."
Y/n pulled away, skepticism building a wall around her once again. "Ok, so you're telling me that you have super…spidey senses?"
"Wasn't bit by a spider, so no." Matt chuckled awkwardly as an attempt to subdue the interrogation. "I can't see your face the way you can see mine, but I know you drank spoiled milk last Tuesday, you have birthmarks along the crook of your neck," which Matt desperately wanted to attach his lips to, "and that, a few weeks ago when we met, the guy following you was causing you anxiety."
Y/n's shoulders sloped in defeat. Even if he were dangerous, y/n would be doomed, seeing as though he was right about everything he said. "So you knew this was my apartment." Her deduction was more statement than question, as she already knew the answer.
"I didn't want you to get hurt again," Matt began, scratching the stubble on his jaw. "I smelled the adrenaline from you even after your assailant left. Something happened, y/n, and I didn't want it to happen again."
His eyes pierced into y/n's, hazel swirl burning behind the fiery passion he felt. It was difficult to contain, and he was aware when he knocked on her door and sat on her bed, but y/n deserved to know the truth.
He reached out and took y/n's hand in between his clothed ones, her skin numbing under the hot touch. "I'm sorry."
His eyes were stain glass windows in a place of worship y/n felt she could belong. She wanted to praise, repent, and move forward, all in one night, but she was exhausted from the trust in her snapping from the harsh betrayal of people passing in her life.
She couldn't make out who apologized.
But now Matt's lips were on y/n's, in a rush as quick and hot as the blood to Matt's dick. Y/n tangled her hands in his hair, entrapping him between her fingers, as her lips became enmeshed in his.
"Off." Y/n breathed in the kiss, gesturing to Matt's suit. He unzipped and pushed the heavy fabric from his skin, exposing it to the harsh New York air. Y/n's mouth moved to Matt's freshly exposed neck and her hands to his chest.
After a low sigh, Matthew cupped y/n's cheek to move it back to his lips, giving her a peck before resting his forehead on hers. "I can wait." he offered. "I don't want to rush this if you don't want it."
"I want it. You." Arousal erased coherency in y/n's brain, pupils blown wide. "How do you touch…me, blind?"
Matt smirked, the affirmative enough of a green light for him, and guided y/n back down on her bed. It was the first time his naked hands touched her skin, and he loved how inviting she felt.
"I…" his voice trembled. "I smell it. How wet you're getting underneath." his hands caressed y/n's calves, slowly sliding up to the outer part of her hips. "Your temperature increases. Hotter." Matt's cock grew harder as he spoke, instinctively moving to hover over y/n as his hands slipped underneath her top, fingers stretching to touch as much skin as he could.
His breath was hot as his mouth stood inches from y/n's clothed core, and he remained until y/n granted him what he needed.
"I want to feel how wet you are for me." His voice was darker, the sinner once hidden behind a man of good faith.
Y/n parted her legs, and Matthew, voice of reason drowned in wanton, dove in.

Does Ohio Require a Permit for Roof Replacement?
Considering a roof replacement in Ohio? It's a big project, and navigating the permit process can add another layer of complexity. This blog post will break down the permit requirements for roof replacement in Ohio, helping you determine if you need one and guiding you through the application process if necessary.
Understanding the Rules: Ohio Building Code
The Ohio Building Code dictates permit requirements for various construction projects, including roof replacement. Section 1507 of the code outlines the specific scenarios when a permit becomes mandatory.
In general, a permit is required for roof replacements that involve:
Structural Changes: Any alterations or replacements to the roof's structural components, such as rafters, trusses, or sheathing, necessitate a permit.
Mechanical Equipment: Replacing rooftop mechanical equipment like vents, skylights, or chimneys typically requires a permit.
Simple Roof Replacement vs. Complex Projects
For a standard roof replacement that solely involves replacing the existing roofing material (shingles, metal, etc.), you likely won't need a permit. However, there are some exceptions:
Number of Layers: If your existing roof has two or more layers of shingles, removing them all before installing the new roof might be mandatory. This can impact the overall project scope and potentially require a permit.
Historic Districts: Residing in a designated historic district often comes with additional regulations. You might need a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) to ensure the new roof adheres to the district's aesthetic guidelines.
Benefits of Obtaining a Permit
Even if your project seems straightforward, obtaining a permit offers several advantages:
Safety Assurance: The permitting process involves inspections by qualified professionals who ensure the project adheres to building codes, promoting the structural integrity and safety of your roof.
Increased Value: A permitted roof replacement can enhance your property value as it demonstrates adherence to safety standards.
Peace of Mind: Having a permit removes the worry of potential future complications during resale or insurance claims.
The Permit Application Process
If your roof replacement falls under the permit-required category, here's a general overview of the application process:
Contact Your Local Building Department: The first step is to get in touch with your local building department. They will provide specific details on permit requirements and application procedures in your area.
Project Details and Drawings: Prepare a detailed description of your project, including the scope of work, materials to be used, and any relevant drawings or plans.
Fees and Inspections: Pay the associated permit fees and schedule inspections with building officials throughout the project.
Finding Qualified Roofers in Milford, Ohio
Now that you understand the permit requirements, it's crucial to find qualified and experienced roofers in Milford, Ohio, to handle your project. Here are some tips for your search:
Licensing and Insurance: Ensure the roofers hold valid licenses and carry adequate insurance coverage for liability and worker's compensation.
Experience and References: Look for roofers with a proven track record in roof replacement projects similar to yours. Ask for references and check online reviews.
Warranties and Guarantees: Inquire about the warranties offered on materials and workmanship. A reputable roofing company will stand behind their work.
Roof Leak Repair vs. Full Replacement
When considering a roof replacement, it's essential to differentiate between a full replacement and a roof leak repair. A minor leak might be addressed through repairs, potentially avoiding the permit process. However, extensive leaks or widespread damage often necessitate a complete roof replacement, which might fall under permit requirements. Consulting a qualified roofer will help you determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
Conclusion
Navigating the permit process for a roof replacement in Ohio can seem daunting. However, with this information as a guide, you can determine if a permit is necessary and ensure your project adheres to safety regulations. Remember, a permitted roof replacement offers peace of mind, protects your investment, and enhances the value of your property.

Here are some tips to help you clean your kitchen chimney effectively
Cleaning your kitchen chimney is an essential yet often overlooked task that can greatly impact the air quality and functionality of your kitchen. Here are some comprehensive tips to guide you through the process:
Prepare Your Workspace: Before you begin, ensure you have ample space around the chimney for maneuvering and cleaning. Lay down old newspapers or a drop cloth to catch any drips or spills.
Turn Off Power and Disconnect: Safety first! Before you start cleaning, switch off the power to your chimney from the main circuit breaker. If your chimney is connected to an electrical outlet, unplug it. This precaution prevents any accidental start-ups during the cleaning process.
Remove Filters and Panels: Most kitchen chimneys have removable filters and panels that need regular cleaning. Carefully remove these components according to the manufacturer's instructions. These filters are typically located underneath the hood and may require unlocking or sliding out.
Soak Filters in Degreaser: Grease buildup is a common issue in kitchen chimneys. To effectively remove grease, soak the filters in a mixture of hot water and a degreaser solution. This helps to loosen stubborn grime, making it easier to clean later. Allow the filters to soak for at least 15-20 minutes.
Scrub Filters and Panels: After soaking, use a soft-bristled brush or sponge to scrub the filters and panels thoroughly. Pay close attention to areas with heavy grease buildup. For stubborn stains, you may need to apply additional degreaser and scrub more vigorously. Rinse the filters and panels with clean water to remove any residue.
Clean Interior Surfaces: The interior surfaces of your chimney also require attention. Use a damp cloth or sponge soaked in a mild degreaser solution to wipe down the interior walls, fan blades, and any other accessible surfaces. Be gentle to avoid damaging delicate components.
Check and Clean Fan Blades: The fan blades play a crucial role in extracting smoke and odors from your kitchen. Inspect the blades for any signs of grease or debris buildup. If necessary, use a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the blades. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive force, as this could damage the fan.
Inspect Exhaust Duct: The exhaust duct is responsible for venting air outside your home. Over time, it can become clogged with grease and debris, restricting airflow. Inspect the exhaust duct for any blockages or buildup. If you notice any obstructions, use a vacuum cleaner or a long brush to remove them.
Clean Exterior Surfaces: Don't forget to clean the exterior surfaces of your chimney hood. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any grease or dirt. For stainless steel hoods, you can use a specialized stainless steel cleaner to restore shine and remove fingerprints.
Reassemble and Test: Once everything is clean and dry, reassemble the filters, panels, and any other removed components. Double-check that everything is securely in place. Restore power to your chimney and test it to ensure it's functioning properly.
Establish a Regular Maintenance Routine: To keep your kitchen chimney in top condition, establish a regular cleaning schedule. Aim to clean the filters and interior surfaces every 1-3 months, depending on usage. Regular maintenance will help prevent excessive grease buildup and maintain optimal airflow.
By following these comprehensive tips, you can effectively clean your kitchen chimney, ensuring it operates efficiently and maintains a healthy cooking environment for years to come

5 Things to Look For When Purchasing an Antique Home
Many older houses are well-built, and the finishing features can be spectacular. Even if the house has been restored and looks to be in good condition, a comprehensive investigation is required to determine if there are any hidden problems. Here are a few things to think about when seeking to buy an older home.
Condition of Foundation
Thick stone foundations were common in historic homes. While stone is normally quite sturdy, the mortar used to connect the stones may not be. Mortar deteriorates with time. The same issues can occur in homes with concrete block foundations. Any mildew odor in the basement should be a warning sign that water has leaked in.
Mechanical Systems
Plumbing pipes in older homes could be brass soldered with lead or galvanized steel. Your inspector can quickly identify pipe material, and you may perform a 3-second water test with lead detection strips, which are comparable to litmus paper. The heating system is simple to inspect. Check to see if the boiler is more than 20 years old. Inspect the chimney for damage or soot buildup. And they may also inspect your cove smart carbon monoxide detector.
Hazardous Materials
Houses built before the 1960s are likely to have lead paint coatings. Another element typically found in older homes is asbestos. While asbestos is an excellent fire retardant, it is exceedingly dangerous if it becomes friable or airborne. If you suspect the presence of these compounds, ask your agent to identify a hazardous materials specialist who can test for them.
Types of Framing
One of the most appealing aspects of older homes' frame is that it is made of actual wood, potentially massive timbers. Check for termite or post beetle damage with the inspection. Insects may cause havoc in the home. You'll also want to know if the house was framed with balloons. This cost-effective strategy was popular in the mid-nineteenth century. The outer walls contain a cavity that extends from the top of the foundation to the roof rafters, which is the only disadvantage.

Is Your Roof Ready For Winter?
Introduction
If you live in a part of the country that has extreme weather conditions, your quality roofing and construction is probably one of the most important things on your property. In addition to playing a key role in keeping you warm, dry, and comfortable during winter months, a well-designed roof can provide years of service. However, no matter how strong or durable your roof may be, it can still be destroyed by Mother Nature's fury.
Conduct roof inspections and maintenance.
Roof inspections and maintenance are important to ensure your roof is in good condition.
To conduct a roof inspection, first, check the weather forecast before going out on a cold day. If it's snowing or raining, wait until the weather improves so that you don't get wet or lost in your own house!
Use a flashlight to look up through windows and skylights to see if there are any leaks from water pouring down onto the ground below (this may be caused by trees next door dripping sap into your yard). If this applies to you, have someone come over with some tar paper—a thick layer of paper with adhesive on each side—to patch up any holes in order not only prevent future leaks but also keep them from getting bigger over time."
Test your roof drainage system.
Check for clogged gutters.
Inspect downspouts to make sure they're draining properly and aren't frozen in place due to ice dams or flashing problems (the part of the gutter that connects with the shingles).
Test your roof drainage system by pouring water on top of it and seeing how much drains away without getting into your home or basement area—this is called "flooding," which can lead to mold growth inside your home if left untreated for long periods of time!
Check for damaged or loose shingles and flashing.
Check for loose shingles.
Check for damaged or missing flashing.
Look for gaps between the roof and the roof decking where water can get in, causing leaks and damage to your home.
Trim tree branches close to the roof.
Trim tree branches close to the roof.
Use a ladder.
Make sure you're safe when trimming trees, and use a rope to tie off branches that are too far away from the roof. If you don't have one, get one! It's worth it. You can buy them at any hardware store or garden center for about $20-$30 dollars (depending on how many feet long). A pruning saw works well too, but not everyone has one handy—and if they do, they probably don't know how to use it properly because most people don't need one in their backyard anyway!
Maintain the attic, fireplace, and chimney system.
Maintain the attic, fireplace, and chimney system.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation in your attic to prevent moisture buildup that can cause damage to your home. You should also be checking for insulation that needs to be replaced or if any water damage is present from leaks or condensation on the roof of your house.
Examine areas where rodents may reside such as around windows and doors where they can enter through gaps left by missing screens (especially on wooden windows). Check around pipes that run through walls made with mortar joints; rodents may chew on them causing structural damage over time. Also, look at ceiling joists where signs of rodent activity are likely found; this includes holes chewed into them, droppings left behind after feeding time has passed and evidence of gnawing marks around nails used for holding up floorboards or rafters overhead."
Pay attention to ice dams.
Ice dams are caused by heat escaping from your home. When ice melts, it creates a "trough" of water where the melting happens. This trough collects on top of the roof and is then exposed to further melting as more water pools up there.
The result: water damage inside your house that may require expensive repairs. And remember: if you have an attic fan or heat recovery ventilator installed, these sources of warm air can make it easier for ice to form on your roof instead of just sitting in one place (like when there's no snow).
Weather conditions can impact all types of roofs; maintain yours so that it lasts longer and functions better.
Don't neglect your roof during winter months, as this is when problems often occur. Check for damage, whether it's a small hole in the shingles or sloping at an angle. Also, look for loose shingles or flashing (the metal strip that covers the joint between two layers) that could cause water intrusion into your home if not sealed properly.
Trim tree branches near chimneys and vents to help prevent icicles from forming on them over time -- these can create structural damage if they fall during winter storms onto other parts of your home's exterior surfaces like siding or gutters! If you do find ice dams on top of snowfall accumulation, remove them with a manual scraper designed specifically for this purpose."
Conclusion
This is an important step to take, and one that you should not delay. Roofs are typically only covered by insurance companies for 30 years, so if you wait too long, it could cost more money than it is worth. If your roof has been damaged by weather or other factors, do not hesitate to contact a professional commercial general contractors who can help!

What Should I Know About Chimney Repair Service ?
The only way to ensure your complete fireplace system operates safely and correctly is with prompt, professional chimney repair service. Here are some typical chimney issues and what you may do to fix them.
1. Leaky Chimney
The bricks and mortar used to construct your chimney may deteriorate after many years of use and lose their strength. Make plans for a structural assessment if you discover even the most minor mortar fissures or disintegrating masonry.
If left unattended, deteriorating fractures and cracking will eventually allow large amounts of harmful water to enter the system. You may book an online chimney repair service to cover and seal the chimney with something waterproof.
Missing brick-and-mortar pieces may require tuckpointing replacement in cases of more severe damage. The chimney may require reconstruction in more severe cases.
2. Defective Chimney Cap
A chimney cap covers the hole to keep rainwater out and stop debris like leaves and twigs from entering the flue. Small animals, by caps, are also prevented from entering the chimney and creating nests.
Problems will occur if the mesh on the chimney cap is damaged or missing. Depending on how badly damaged they are, chimney caps can either be fixed or replaced.
3. A Blockage In A Chimney
There will be problems with airflow if trash, animal nests, or dead animals are still inside your chimney. Smoke and toxic substances can leave a clean chimney, but they can enter a blocked flue.
4. A Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO), present in smoking, can be fatal. Smoking in the house is not enjoyable. CO is an odorless, tasteless gas that can seriously damage or kill people and animals. It would be best to have a functional CO monitor close to your fireplace as an additional safety measure, even after your chimney has been cleared of blockages.
5. Examining And Cleaning
Almost all fire safety organizations suggest cleaning and inspecting fireplaces and chimneys annually. With the proper tools and expertise, certified chimney sweeps can completely clean chimneys and check the entire system for early signs of danger.
While you can discover some chimney deterioration through routine visual inspections, only a professional chimney repair service expert can thoroughly investigate and identify issues before they become major. When necessary, a professional chimney repair service should be called in.
Conclusion
Although they have a purpose and are attractive to look at, chimneys can cost a lot of money to maintain and cause a lot of trouble if they are not. For some people, the future may arrive sooner than you anticipate. This is where you may want to book an online chimney repair service with Rightcliq Service. You can contact for the your kitchen appliance repair service.

Tips to Maintain the Modern Look of Your Modular Kitchen
Source of info:https://indibloghub.com/post/tips-to-maintain-the-modern-look-of-your-modular-kitchen
Introduction
Maintaining the modern look of your modular kitchen combines beauty and functionality, designing a beautiful functional space. To improve overall looks, start by maintaining parts clean and organized. Use stylish materials like glass and stainless steel. Use smart storage options to keep things organized and make the most of available space. To maintain the design, modern and up-to-date transformation of the parts and technology on a regular basis. To create an overall look, use an organized paint color and decorative elements. Use modern technology for comfort and a modern design. Also, make use of proper lighting to bring out important features and create a comfortable atmosphere. These tips will maintain your modular kitchen durable and up-to-date.
1. Clean Regularly and Thoroughly
Regular cleaning is important for maintaining your modular kitchen looking beautiful. Every day, clean surfaces, especially those near cooking areas, with a soft, moist cloth. Avoid using rough chemicals because they can discolor or diminish the coat of paint. Choose light detergents that are right for modular kitchen materials like glass, laminate, or wood. Areas like the cooktop and backsplash that are capable of leakage and grease need extra care.
Tip: Cleaning kitchen surfaces without any harm is normally done using an amount of water and mild dish soap.
Avoid: Avoid using rough scrubbers on counters and cabinets, as they can harm the delicate surfaces.
2. Protect Your Cabinets
A main feature of a modular kitchen is that cabinets are open to use and damaged from regular usage. Be careful while opening and shutting them, and don't bang drawers or doors to maintain them looking new. To avoid warping over time, use cabinet handles in place of pulling on the doors directly.
Tip: Soft-close doors can help reduce effort and damage.
Maintenance Tip: Check the door hinges and locks on a regular basis for indications of loosening and replacing as essential.
3. Keep Countertops Clutter-Free
A neat and organized countertop is one of the features of a modern modular kitchen. Stay clean of placing too many things on your countertops because dirt can make the kitchen look unorganized. When not in use, put basic kitchen items in storage areas within cabinets or drawers. This shields items from dust and oil buildup and also maintains the kitchen's organized look.
Tip: Maintain other electronics hidden and save tabletop space for requirements like a coffee machine or a few attractive jars.
Avoid: Directly placing hot cookware in areas, as this could bring about harm.
4. Regularly Inspect for Damage
Regular checks can help a modular kitchen maintain good condition over time. Look for damage to the surfaces, such as dents, stains, or scratches. Small issues should be fixed right away to avoid becoming worse. Timely fixes make sure the kitchen stays well-maintained, no matter minor scratches, loose handles, or broken tiles.
Tip: Use polish or scratch repair materials to fix small surface scratches on cabinets and counters.
Maintenance Tips: To maintain the kitchen in its best shape, arrange an expert cleaning or maintenance service every few months.
5. Maintain Ventilation and Lighting
Proper ventilation is important in any kitchen, especially for modular layouts, because interior spaces can hold heat and smells. To avoid moisture buildup or remaining smells, make sure the kitchen has enough ventilation. Similarly, proper lighting improves the kitchen's modern look. To bring focus to work spaces and create a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, consider putting LED lighting under cabinets.
Tip: A chimney or exhaust ventilator can be set up to get rid of cooking smells and fumes.
Lighting Tip: Use natural and task lighting to create both function and style. You can create a variety of atmospheres with customizable lighting, giving your kitchen a more useful design.
6. Take Care of Appliances
Ovens, microwaves, and dishwashers are examples of built-in appliances that are frequently included in modern modular kitchen, contributing to their modern look. Regular maintenance of these appliances is important for maintaining the kitchen's stylish looks. For extra durability, clean them on a regular basis, reduce overloading, and according to the manufacturer's requirements for maintenance.
Tip: Cleaning appliances after every use is essential, especially those parts like stovetops and oven doors that are easily stained by marks and spills.
Maintenance Tip: If old appliance locks may damage productivity, check them, especially the refrigerator's, and replace them if necessary.
7. Preserve the Shine of Metal and Glass Elements
Materials like metal and glass give a modular kitchen an attractive look. Use the proper cleaning options on these parts to maintain them shining. For example, fingerprints and smudges can be removed from stainless steel surfaces by wiping them with a solution of vinegar and water. Glass can be cleaned easily with a simple glass cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water.
Tip: To avoid scratches on glass and metal surfaces, use microfiber towels.
Avoid: Cleaners with an ammonia base should be avoided because they can at some point blur metal surfaces.
8. Organize Drawers and Cabinets
Functionality is improved, and the modular kitchen look increases with a well-organized layout. Utilize pull-out racks, movable shelves, and drawer organizers for improved storage and to maintain organization. It also helps the kitchen maintain its modern, functional design by making materials easy to find and reducing the chances of mess buildup.
Tip: Label jars and containers to make them easier to find and to give them a neat, organized look.
Avoid: Avoid overloading cabinets, which can force shelves to loosen or hinges to loosen.
9. Prevent Water Damage
One of the main factors helping kitchen damage is water. The surfaces of modular kitchen can be water-resistant, but repeated exposure to water continues to cause damage. Be careful near the sink area and quickly clean up any spills. Wet clothes or towels should not be left on surfaces because they can eventually discolor or stretch surfaces.
Tip: A good idea is to use a tile backsplash behind the sink area to avoid water from getting to the cabinets and walls.
Avoid: Cabinet areas with too much moisture. Before putting any moist objects inside cabinets, make sure they are completely dry.
10. Polish Wooden Surfaces
Wooden parts provide modular kitchen comfort, but they need to be cleaned regularly to maintain their beauty. To maintain the fresh, bright look of your cabinet, use a wood polish or wax that is specially made for the material. Wooden surfaces can become faded if exposed to direct sunlight over a long period of time.
Tip: Apply polish with a soft cloth every few months for a fresh look.
Avoid: Water-based cleansers should not be used on wood because they may damage the coating.
Conclusion
A clean, well-organized beauty is created by including modern wall options into a modular kitchen, which improves both functionality and beauty. Open shelves, textured tiles, and colorful walls are just a few of the customizable options that combine well with modern kitchen layouts. Longevity and simplicity of maintenance are provided by strong materials like stainless steel, glass, or ceramic, and vibrant colors or patterns give the space lifestyle. Selecting the right wall options gives the kitchen more storage and beauty while also improving its functionality and looks. The correct options may transform a kitchen into comfortable areas with personal style and functionality.

"Is Your Roof Storm-Ready? Here’s How to Spot the Damage and Protect Your Home!"
Storm season can take a toll on your roof! Knowing the early signs of storm damage can save you from costly repairs and help protect your home. Here’s a quick guide from Larios Roofing on what to look for after a big storm:
Signs of Storm Damage:
1️⃣ Missing or Torn Shingles – High winds can tear shingles away, exposing your roof to leaks. 2️⃣ Water Stains or Leaks Indoors – Moisture stains on ceilings or walls are often signs of roof damage. 3️⃣ Granule Loss – Check your gutters or downspouts for tiny sand-like particles; granule loss makes shingles vulnerable. 4️⃣ Damaged Flashing – Flashing around vents, chimneys, and skylights can become loose or cracked, leading to leaks. 5️⃣ Gutter Damage or Debris Buildup – Gutters damaged by hail or wind can’t drain properly, putting your roof at risk.
