Never had a brother ...but

I really like the Dam. We have two here. From the late 50’s, being upgraded, surveyed, and certified......Class II...with Hydrant worx...

 

Are you guys into that?

You were in Helen, GA?

My wife is nagging me to go there, she thinks it’s sooo german... how is it there, worth a trip and stay a weekend?

 

That might be the coolest thing I’ve ever watched.......

 

There is longer videos about it, that thing is so huge you can spend a entire day and be sure you didn’t discover everything

 

Yes , many times. It's pretty remote north Georgia. Worth the trip. You'll like it

 

Check out this seamer. It double crimps the aluminum roof panels. Forward and reverse. It’s like 5k.....

 

Since were on the roofing topic...The trailer that bends the panels from a roll. Ridge cap and drip edges are not done on site. Different dies...

 

Like a can opener on steroids! Lol
Any pics of finished product? I don't believe we use anything like that for roofs around here. Maybe industrial buildings but I am not sure. I need to see to understand (visual learner).

 

Ok I will look don’t make fun of my tiny house..

 

I've never seen a tool like that before. I worked in a HUGE nuclear weapons plant (8000 employees) everything in the big shops were huge. That's pretty nice. Looks heavy.

 

I am intrigued!
Please, do tell more if you can. Without having to have me killed! Lol

 

Don’t have a pic of the finished product with the powder coated ice breakers. Will get one later...

 

I went with “tan” coating...

 

I don’t have gutters. Don’t need them. With this pitch the rain would hit the gutters too fast, splash the facial boards, and rot them..

 

It was neat to see the bends around the skylight with a splash gaurd. Took technique...

 

I have always wondered how roofs like that were installed without leaks. Now I know.
That is brilliant.
I believe metal roofs are out of city code for residential houses. I have seen many commercial roofs like that. Now I know & knowing is half the battle! LMAO

 

Well should last 50 years but will need painting. I kind of want it to age naturally prob won’t ever....

 

My job was so secret I didn't even know what I was doing. LOL

 

They will try to tell you steel is cheaper. But might as well go aluminum. All the cut edges would be rusting already..And it’s not that much more a roll...

 

I spliced/tested fiber in the Jay Edgar Hoover building.(I was the only one that could pass finger print background checks) Fort Belvoir, been in ever major node in DC and surrounding areas....

 

That looks great . Nothing I see but WORK. Well worth the labor.

 

6/12 pitch ?

 

One of my biggest complain about Aluminium or even worse the ”galvalumned” steel panels
The looks ugly uncoated so you need them coated but the coat want last as long as the panels last

 

Was it G.E.?

 

I think it’s 11/12 or 12/12 the garage is normal..

 

And the roof peaks expand out four feet on each side..

 

It’s an 84 lumber package called the Mountaineer.....I absolutely love it...on top of a low cellar..

 

38 years

stated out.. Eastman , Union Carbide , Martin Marietta , Lockheed Martin , now it's something else. I think . I've been gone 9 years. All the name changes didn't mean anything just the name on our checks. New company is NISA
