    Wind Turbulence due to roof design ?

    Once again Ron, Thanks! The wierd thing is, the shingles being ripped are only on the steep roof to the West and below the ridge line of the intersecting gable downstream. None of the shingles along the West edge of the main roof were flapping or ripped, just near the valley line. I wonder if...

    Wind Turbulence due to roof design ?

    Thanks Ron for your insight. I understand the sealing tabs require heat. The area has full sun during the summer and the shingles were installed during the spring of 2007, so have gone through 2 summers, which should have been sufficient. I had talked to the roofer about improper installation...

    Wire Mesh over Radiant Heat Pex Pipe on Metal Deck

    Hello, I have a 60'x35' 1.5" composite metal deck slab on which we have screwed 5/8" PEX pipes for Radiant Heating. The decking is supported on approx 18' steel bar joists 4' O.C. The Joists bear on 15' girders. A 6"x6" WWF is placed over the pipes. The mesh is clipped/screwed to the deck at...

    Rust on black steel

    What about electrically reversing the rusting process? I'm not sure how practical it would be, but it should be possible to use a Zinc "sacrificial" electrode and use the steel joist as the other electrode (not sure which one is the anode/cathode). I believe they use something similar to protect...
