    Since a few people have asked about the vented tiles and if they let water in, the roofer, Jacob, told me the following: "The vented tiles have a built in tray that sits below the grill. This takes in the water, which then run out the bottom and down over the tiles below".

      @@andymccabe6712 I asked where the water runs after it enters those vents because I was curious how they shed water while also ventilating the roof and not allowing water into the structure. Under eave soffit vents are the standard approach where I live, so I'd still like to see a cutaway of the tiles to get a better sense of how they work.

      The roof tiles are gorgeous ☺️ I’d love to have a roof installed that could last 100 years! Tiles like this can be found in the American SW & California. Here in the Pacific NW, the equivalent would be slate tiles, but with the amount of rain we get, even metal roofs have to be carefully engineered to prevent trapped moisture and the resulting mold & rot of the roof underlay. Cheers 💚

    We don't use a base layer of wood - it is just the roof trusses, a sheet of plastic insulation and then batons on toip with ceramic tiles affixed to it.
    That said our climate is moderate - we don't get snow and it rains about 4 months in the year and we don't use the roof spaces for living - usually the geyser and electrical/plumbing conduits are located there.

  • @florianreclaire508
    @florianreclaire508 Рік тому +3

    It's always interesting to see the difference in doing things in different countries. In Germany we typically use 4cm strong counter battons so I was amazed to see those thin strips going in.
    Also there are way stricter rules regarding the inclusion of the Velux windows in the second watertight barrier. The way it's done here looks like water could just run inside over the window if there's a leak in the tiles.

    Cripes! You should send that video to housing associations. I rent in a Guinness property. We had scaffolding up for 4 months for roof repairs. 4 months later: the few replaced tiles are already cracked, missing or covered in moss and weeds; the guttering is cracked and overflows; the roof still leaks throughout the building. Your video is fantastic - but saddens me also to think what social landlords are NOT doing for their tenants. Keep up the great work, George!

The area you will be living in looks really beautiful as well. One question: this is going to be your long term home that you spend a majority of your time in, is this also going to be your brothers primary residence, and be spending a lot of his time there with you, or does he travel, or have business that he is gone a lot, and this will be his home base address, that he comes home to in between travel?

    • @john_smith1471
      @john_smith1471 Рік тому +2

      For roof tiles in Great Britain I’d say 100 years is a decent bench mark, still millions of houses with original 19:century slate tiles, also 16 century properties with clay or stone tiles, thatch roofs from reed as well in some regions, expect about 25 years of weathering for thatch.

    Some breeds do not have great intestinal discharge as their poo doesn't get broken down properly. The fact that she a heavy shedder also doesn't help. Organic Omega 3 oil for cats is wonderful for her fur and ought to help tone down the stink. Another help to digest her food is organic pumpkin that you can add one tablespoon mixed in with her wet food - do this to start 3 x per week and see how the goes. As for the cocaine you mentioned you might want to tone that down too lol. She's lovely, endearing and as for the over the top scratching on the comforter - her moves mimic her being in her litter box. I thought that was what she was preparing to do... I was relieved when that wasn't the case. All cats have quirks and as for her high wire act, mine did too and they fell only twice and was perfectly ok. They are great companions and I would even go as far to say sometimes smarter than dogs.... Thanks.

    At the very end of the video there are beautiful high hills visible, I wonder if you ever thought about exploring those ?And if you already did what’s in there ?There is nothing like Scottish country, I wish I could visit there because it’s just so gorgeous out there 🌳🪨🍀💚 Thank you for the interesting chronicles George 👍

    Impressive work! Just curious, was there any market for the old tiles for other restoration work?

      Not that I know of, but because my tiny house uses them, we held on to them. It's a smaller roof so it's worth hanging on to them for repairs if needed.
