roof pipe extension

I just did a roof over and the vent pipe from the bathroom had a plastic vented cap over it. I needed to raise the vent 4" so I hope I did the right , I added a 1 1/2 collar and a piece of pipe and put the rubber boot around it..... is there a need for the plastic cap ?

Re: new siding

JD , I was thinking osb but was wondering if it would be too much weight on the outriggers. I am adding a new roof as well using 2x4's/insulation and corrugated metal roof

Re: new siding

JD, wow that makes me for sure want to remove the metal siding. When I do what do I put under the vinyl siding ? Do I use osb or do I just add fan board or reflective bubble wrap ? There is no OSB or plywood under the metal siding

new siding

Hello,
I have a '90 single wide and it has the metal/aluminum siding. I want to change to vinyl siding and was wondering if it is ok to just put the vinyl over the metal siding using fan board under the vinyl ? I also will be installing replacement double hung windows.
