The radon guy is going to punch a hole in my roof for the radon exhaust
pipe. I am OK with this.

He told me he has a roof boot for the pipe that he can install from the
inside of the attic. He doesn't have to get on the roof to install it. I
have never heard of such a thing. I am really concerned something like this
would leak. Have you ever seen such a thing?? What is it called so I can
take a google? Thanks.

I'd tell a contractor, "No thanks, flash it the standard way." What a
huge cutout!

$50-60 for the Kozy Kollar seems a little pricey too.
I don't like the big hole either. Also working in my main unfinished
attic is no picnic.

*I* wouldn't pay $50. but if I was not inclined to do the job myself,
and a guy who I was paying $25-100 /hr wanted to use one & he was
going to guarantee no leaks for say a year--- then I'd think it was a
bargain.

A year? What consolation is that when everything else on your roof has
a minimum of 20/30 years?

The thing is made for two types of people:
people that are afraid of heights
people that don't mind cutting corners

You can't fight water and win if you don't respect it. It wants to
flow downhill, let it. Don't put a dam in its way and expect water
not to get ****ed off.
