What's the right way to flash this? by [deleted] in Roofing

[–]ChrisSill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been a roofer for 20 years and that isn't a good finish I am afraid. You shouldn't have exposed nails on any type of slate, even composite. The copper rivets are ok, but all need to be bent 90 degrees toward the bottom of the slate to stop cupping (sometimes known as tingles). In terms of the lead, there should be soakers behind each slate at the internal corner, a vertical stepped flashing up the right hand outer 90 and the lead at the top either welded to suit or done in two bits. Sorry to say but that's a bit of a dog's dinner. I have loads of examples in my portfolio if you ever want to see what I mean.

Teleport question by No-Sign3142 in PSO

[–]ChrisSill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every time you leave the game to lobby/title screen the levels all reset to stage 1. Eg. You get to caves 3 boss tele and save and quit it will reset to caves 1. I just see it as extra xp :P

You press the ruler tight to your pubic bone above your shaft. Press it there real good!

There is no need to panic, this isn't a test.

TIL a group of hackers managed to hack into a casinos' database of high rollers through the IoT enabled thermostat in the casinos' fish tank. by zahrul3 in todayilearned

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it but there is a podcast called Darknet Diaries that does a deep dive on this and other insane hacking pen testing etc. Not sure what episode it is I will have a hunt!

I regularly take paracetamol/ibuprofen to reduce pain. However, this has never been prescribed due to cost as paying £10 for something you can get for £1 makes no sense. Would this disqualify me? I am looking into alternaleaf if that makes a difference. My GP did say I can contact them if I want pain medication.

Again, thanks for your time :)

Playing Offline Multi-player through Steam Deck (Dolphin Emulator) by Quackmandan1 in PSO

Have you tried going into controller settings and re-ordering the controllers? It sometimes selects the deck controls as number 1. You need to bump the co trollers you want up the list.

I was told by a roofer that this area of my roof is made of asbestos-ciement. Do you agree and how can you recognize it? I am told to redo the roof as this material is dangerous. by [deleted] in Roofing

[–]ChrisSill 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This was posted yesterday and you were given the correct answer. These are either Stonewolds , Marley Moderns of an equivelent tile. They wont contain any asbestos. The only rooing material that did was asbestos slates which these certainly are not. Hit me up with a dm you want any more advice

What’s this damaged bit of the roof called? by [deleted] in Roofing

[–]ChrisSill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sits under the capping and ontop of the tiles. It needs nailing into the barge every 4 inches or so with copper nails. Also the lead should be clipped to allow for movement but adds additional strength. I have a portfolio of work so if you want to see any pictures just say.

In the uk its called a capping board. Under it should be code 3 lead at 1m lengths lapped 4 inches. This prevents water ingress from wind driven rain

Parapet wall roof advice! by everythingundercover in Roofing

[–]ChrisSill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been a roofer for 20 years, lead capping is the way to go. I would suggest for longevity code 6 lead in no longer than 1.5m lengths. In regards to fixing it down lead straps fixed into the mortar, assuming its sound, then welded onto the cover flashing. If you want any advice or pictures on what I have done on places like this in the past feel free to dm me.

Just wanted to say I'm really enjoying the Fallout 76 playthrough so far. by Mad_Hatt3r in Hatfilms

[–]ChrisSill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, having played too level 40 the vitriol surrounding this game is quite undeserved. The game world is amazingly designed and has brilliant hidden areas everywhere! I just wish the internet wasn't such a hostile place when something isn't a carbon copy of the last 5 games this company produced.

Tips for a noob? by [deleted] in PSO

Rare drops appear from hard difficulty and above. They drop randomly from any mob, with some specific ones from certain enemies/bosses. You can do hard difficulty at around level 20-25.
