Théophile Ferré was a leader of the Paris Commune who was executed by the French government on this day in 1871. Ferré personally authorized the execution of the archbishop of Paris and was the first of 25 Communards to be executed.
Little is known about Ferré's early life, before his participation in the Paris Commune. After Paris was seized by revolutionaries in March 1871, Ferré served on the Commune's Committee of Public Safety, a body given extensive powers to hunt down enemies of the Commune.
On April 5th, the Commune passed a decree that authorized the arrest of any person thought to be loyal to the French government in Versailles, to be held as hostages. Prominent figures arrested included a Catholic priest Georges Darboy and the archbishop of Paris. The Commune hoped to exchange their hostages for Louis-Auguste Blanqui, a revolutionary and honorary President of the Commune, imprisoned by the state.
Following the events of the "Bloody Week", in which the French government summarily executed many suspected Communards, Ferré authorized the execution of several hostages, including Darboy and the archbishop.
After the resistance of the Commune collapsed, Ferré was captured by the army, tried by a military court, and sentenced to death. On November 28th, 1871, he was shot at Satory, an army camp southwest of Versailles. He was the first of twenty-five Communards to be executed for their role in the Paris Commune.

Doing things to the roof wrong can lead to a leaky roof and what could be worse is that it leaks in a way you don't notice until things start to rot. I had had to "fix" a roof that was tampered with. It is not easy or fun and I don't think I did even a half decent job.
yeah but I'm built different and I would simply make it not leak
ezpz just move the house to a desert and you dont have to worry about rain
no i would just do all the stuff this guy did
I basically would have done all of this before having seen the video bc laying the vent guard under the shingles was, you know, how I'd make it not leak, but I wouldn't have thought of the need to insulate the pipe or leave the downward side of the vent guard unsealed to allow any water that does infiltrate a path to run out (i woulda just caulked that whole motherfucker)
especially after watching this video this REALLY does not seem like 700 dollars worth of work
