Mike your story about re-framing problems with gratitude reminds me of one of my favorite stories about my Grandma, who was 94 years old at the time. My wife and I were in the depths of helping my mother-in-law downsize from her mold-infested McMansion after she was unexpectedly widowed. After...

I can add some more details to this as well after replacing the flat roof on our warehouse this past summer. From what I learned in that process, black flat roofs are a rubber EPDM compound. White roofs are either a TPO membrane or a PVC membrane. We went from a ballasted EPDM roof to a fully...

I also went through this whole thread (and forum, really) looking at pictures of guy's setups. Got mine in so I figured I'd share while I'm waiting on flatwork. Critiques welcome!

Hello everyone, First post here. I'm in the middle of a house addition including ~1000 s.f. garage. I've been reading and learning a lot, and look forward to continuing to do so!
