The Care And Feeding Of Your Aluminum Roofin

admin — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 06:00:59 +0000

Let’s suppose the house or building you want to buy has aluminum roofing. Should you still buy the house or building? That depends on many factors. Aluminum roofing is great for terrains with aggressive weather such as the deserts of Australia, the coastlines that constantly get hit with sea salt spray or places that get acid rain (which is getting to be everywhere these days). The roof itself should still be in good condition. Aluminum roofing can last on average fifty years. So even if it’s an older roof, chances are it’ll still be sound. Aluminum roofing is better resistant to molds or rusting than other types of roofing.

What’s The Weather Up There?

Roofs, even made of aluminum roofing, can get damaged by the weather, falling trees, passing hurricanes and all that sort of fun stuff. But not only does the roof need at the very least a bi-annual checkup, but the roof’s fastenings, which is the stiff that connects your aluminum roofing to the rest of your house.

You are looking for any buckling, loosening, puddles that won’t go away or just plain broken roofing materials, even if your roof is not leaking. Getting any early damage repaired now when it is only a minor problem can save you money down the road when it becomes an even bigger problem.

If you have gutters and live in a very leafy neighborhood, you need to get your gutters cleaned out at least once a year, or water won’t drain from off of your roof. Many professional gutter cleaners will also give your roof a once-over. Although many homeowners clean their gutters themselves, they often do it from the ground or from a ladder and cannot see the entire roof.

If you’re uneasy at that thought and rather get a specialist in roofs, you certainly can. Roofing contractors don’t just build and repair roofs – they can also inspect them. In order to find a roofing contractor, you can ask trusted friends and family who inspects their roofs, or you can check with your bank and see who they recommend. Why would the bank have a list of recommended contractors? Because they loan homeowner’s substantial amounts of money for the purposes of repairing or remodeling their property, and so they want to know that only reputable companies will get them their money back.

If you have a chimney, get that checked as well, to be sure that it isn’t clogged

The clock read 11:50am. It was almost lunch time, and my fingers tapped anxiously, waiting to go hit it up with my friends at our friend Mikey’s house. I started chewing the eraser off the end of my No. 2 pencil. The teacher just droned on and on about her life, and I mouthed to my bro, Andrew, to just shoot me in the head. He smiled toothily at me and I silently groaned. I put my hands together and pushed them outwards in a stretch. Finally the stupid teacher shut her damned trap, and the bells rang for us to go. Most people bolted out, but I waited for Andrew to slowly catch up. It’s not that the kid’s fat, it’s just he is slow as hell. In walking anyway if you know what I mean. “Benjamin, do you got the Coke?” Andrew asked me. “Dude I told you to call me Demon Fucker. Of course I got the shit.” I told him. As we were walking, our group of people turned to be six, and we headed outside and down to Mikey’s house, just around the corner. His parents didn’t care if we cut class, so we went there to hit up heroin and smoke the coke. Jason Owsley, Mikey’s lanky cousin, pushed me from behind in a playful manner. “Dude. Don’t touch the Demon Fucker man.” Mikey warned him. I clenched my fist, about to knock the dude out, but when I swung, Andrew caught my fist in his hand. I lit up a cigarette and inhaled deeply the smoke it gave off. The sky was cloudy black, and we all knew a rainstorm would come along soon. I knew my brother wouldn’t shoot up like the rest of us, cause he is afraid of sticking a needle in his arm, so I made sure Mikey did not have enough heroin for him. My brother is 5’11, black messy hair, like Slash’s from Guns ‘N Roses, dark brown eyes, and always wears black sunglasses. He wore a Mötley Crüe shirt, regular blue jeans, and some black converse, that he recently set ablaze. My clothes were just weird. I had a Metallica t-shirt on, leather red pants, a black leather jacket, and some running shoes. My hair was up in a green and blue Mohawk, and my eyes are a deep grey color. I’m only a ninth grader. Give me a damn break. I wouldn’t be the leader of this group, if: I wasn’t so muscular. I didn’t have 20 tattoos, and if I didn’t kick people’s asses. We finally reached Mikey’s house, and walked into the room, said hi to his mom, and went up stairs to his room. “Get the shit.” I commanded Mikey. “Get all of the coke you got, and heroin, and whatever else you have. Got any freebase?” I said. He went over and knocked all the drugs onto the floor, spilled out the contents of his drawers, and emptied out a pillow case full of drugs. And we intended to do it all. I poured out the Coke I bought onto a plate, and we all went crazy. I think Dylan, one of our regular junkies, passed out, but I was too high to care. Or notice…for that matter. One of them had left, another didn’t even do it, Andrew was trying to climb the wall after an “invisible bug” as he called it. “Dude I’m hungry.” Mikey complained. “Get your mom to bring us some food or something.” I told him. He went out, fell down the stairs, and asked his mom for food. She went out to get food, and Mikey trudged back up the stairs. The guys and I were all passed out on the ground, and he went and kicked me right in the side as hard as he could manage while he was high. I woke up, looked at him, and he said, “My mum issss ghettin Mac-Dunuls.” He said oddly. I got up and woke up my group. “Yo. Mikey’s mom is bringing food.” I said to them. “FOOD!” They all yelled and raced down the stairs. I went and sat on Mikey’s bed and took off the band from the heroin. I ran my hand down my arm, and my eyes slowly moved up to see who was standing in front of me. My eyes seemed to deceive me, as I thought it was a guy with a monkey’s head, until he spoke. “Duuuuude. Bro. Foods ith hurr.” My brother Andrew said to me.

Wow. THAT WAS GREAT. And I want more. Very original and real…yeah, kids smoke. I love it!

Huge Cook-pine Tree Felling (阿德鋸樹)

admin — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 11:29:41 +0000

This video shows how we felled two huge (20-25 meters high) trees (南洋杉, an evergreen originally grown in the southern Asia and in ancient times; Araucaria columnaris – Cook pine) planted in between our neighboring 7-floor apartment building and our very old house.

The trees had been planted long before that neighboring tall apartment was built. As the city continued to develop, these huge old trees faced tough times and little room to survive.

The total weight of these two trees felled is 5.43 tons.

We were forced to fell them for our neighbors feared that these two huge trees might fall and people might get injured. Or our old house might eventually be damaged in typhoon seasons by the falling trees.

We have long contemplated how we should fell them. We might try to climb up to the top of the trees and fell them foot-by-foot, or build a structure surrounding the trunks with bamboo rods to ist the tree-felling.

However these two trees were 6-floor high and were planted in a narrow space. Should we fall down or the cut trunks drop on us, we might get seriously hurt. Well, we hired two forklift trucks with extension arms to ist the tree felling.

The background music consists of the actual tree-felling sounds and remixed
