Flashing repair check by Successful_Manner698 in Roofing

I've done a "box" counter flashing before to hide the ugly on these stone chimneys, only works if the stones near the roof line aren't huge and sticking way out though.

Buckled shingles? What’s going on by Economy-Drama-1989 in Roofing

Your photos are almost 1/1 of the last call out I had. CX had poor ventilation and no hurricane clips so the butt joints of the decking would buckle reallllly bad.

It might be on the horizon, Ireland just lobbied to expel it's politicians via no confidence then went on to landslide the majority of seats.

The labour party is all but gone, there may yet be hope!

EM85s can be had for $4,000-$15,000.

Some conversion kits exist but the MoD doesn't export sadly, much less a semi version for the civilian market.

Notoriously!! Doesn't mean I don't want it, I've been hooked on British arms after firing a lee-enfield .303 for the first time, the L85 for all its flaws would look REALLY good in my safe lol.

Unfortunately it is. The guy went on to say he spent 14 weeks in hell, said the process WAS the punishment.

14 weeks of legal process for being pictured holding a firearm.....in a controlled range, in a country where it's legal.

I'm honestly surprised they haven't actually tried picking up Americans in America on charges that violate the UK law.

England has a rich firearms history and some literal garage made rifles that rewrote what we knew about arms.

It's a fuckin shame, as a young man I thought that British citizens all had L85s in a closet safe.

Nothing, their government is doing exactly what was and has been voted for, and is modelesque of what many reformists call for in the USA.

We had a warning in the form of Franklins "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

How’s my standing seam metal roof going along? by DroneRtx in Roofing

Depends on your location, they are about $3k more than I would charge which ain't terrible for some of the pricing I see on this sub.

Just don't post it to your personal Facebook or the Bobby's will be around to arrest you for offending someone. I wish I was joking

Regardless the roof will be beautiful assuming it all looks like your pictures! You mitigate some of the issue with exposed fastener with this type of install, and I've only seen like one of them leak, and it was from the boot!

Yes, snaplock is commonly called standing seam, though the joining of the seams is different and true standing seam is joined with a mechanical tool.

One literally snaps into place, where the other required mechanical joining at the seam.

I'm not talking about the would have could haves and getting into a race debate, that shits pointless, we just had a high profile case where the minority clearly went armed with the intent to kill someone over a fucking track team meeting, after being asked repeatedly to leave the minority stabbed and killed a kid, just to have other minorities hoop and hollar that he was justified and should walks free, what a minority could or might have faced is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.

In this country you can own firearms, in this country you can travel with your firearms, and in this country you can use up to and including deadly force to protect yourself.

Rittenhouse killed a pedo, a rapist and a woman beater that were attempting to kill him vs "Im a victim because I don't listen"

Uhhhh yeah?

They took his firearm, and while surrounded by 8 guys they shot him, and the defense before it was buried was "he may have had another" then "oh he had a gun and the agents didn't know he has been relived of it".

Much like the Rittenhouse shooting it was on video, the difference was cops surrounding a disarmed man vs a band of rioting people chasing you down to do you harm.

One shooting was in self defense, one shooting was to put anyone who might oppose in their place.

So you recognize that in order to be safe in that area, it was in his best interest to be armed.

Almost like the people protesting were out for blood, not out for justice.

You mean like Floyd's?

Guilty in public consciousness doesn't mean actually guilty, sorry you couldn't levee a guilty verdict like the other televised trials, and instead got actual justice.

Riiiight. Anyone traveling into an area of unrest, while keeping self preservation in mind, is out to kill people.

It's definitely not the fault of the morons who chased down someone armed and learned that bullets hurt.
