Gov. Pat Quinn announces roof replacement project at Menard

I F THE weather in this country was as bad as most of us think, nothing would ever get built. We are currently supervising the replacement of a large roof and re-pointing of a property which commenced in August.

Due to delays of one sort and another, the weather has now caught up with us. However, as someone who is dependent upon fair weather to create buildings and provide work, rain, which is the worst problem appears to me to be less prevalent and it depends whether you are an optimist or a pessimist, as to whether the weather forecast is working with you or against you. In this context I believe that the weather is exactly as I like it. Sometimes however, too much rain does lower spirits.

This brings me to the subject of roofs. Currently in one of our offices, which is a listed building, we are suffering damp and like everyone, I have been putting off the inevitable day when we re-roof. However, the important thing is to find a good roofer and get him to check your roof during the summer months when they are less busy, because from November I assure you it is very difficult to get someone to come and do significant jobs.

At home I have concrete interlocking tiles which are about 40 years old. With trees around, my nightmare is moss. Constantly moss is coming off my roof and my neighbours have resorted to re-coating what are still perfectly good tiles, which is one solution.

I am less keen on this unless it is well done as it does look like a coat of paint, rather than giving you the texture of tiles. However attacking moss is another issue. In America, where they are little more canny about this subject, they place a strip of copper along the tops of their roofs, just under the top row of tiles, for the length of the roof. The rain falls and the acid in the rain turns the copper to copper sulphate which runs down the roof and kills the moss. It is a very slow process, but it is one I would be keen to try and plan to do so next summer. It is a cheap, but permanent solution. Although of course the copper does eventually dissolve completely, before then the roof will need renewing in any case. I aim, before then, to avoid a paint job!

Keep a lid on roofing problems

A piece of history in Evansville has been getting a facelift on its exterior. Now, the downtown icon will also see some changes inside the building.

Over recent months the city funded renovations for new roofing, painting, and window replacement to the old post office. Now, construction will be taking place inside the walls.

The Evansville Redevelopment Commission says a division of social security offices will be put in the building. And the city has agreed to pay up to $1 million of subsidy for the project.

President of the the Redevelopment Commission Ed Hafer says it's important to keep Evansville's historic structures functioning.

"It's a historic building that the city owns," said Hafer, "and certainly wants to preserve as part of our heritage it keeps and adds to jobs downtown which are an important part of it all."

A contractor for the project should be selected near the beginning of January, and the offices should be open in May or June.

Interior Renovations Confirmed for Old Evansville Post Office

FREDONIA Roof and road repairs dominated discussions during the meeting of the Fredonia Village Board Monday in Village Hall.

A leak on the side of the roof over the auditorium in the historic 1891 Opera House, which is connected to Village Hall, has been raising concern by dripping water, which is being caught in a bucket. Officials said they are concerned about ongoing damage.

Roof replacement quotes for the water-filtration building also were also received and a resolution on the work will be considered at the next meeting. Lake Erie Roofing had the lowest local quote, at $7,600.

A sinkhole on Hamlet Street is currently fenced off but has grown to the size larger than a car. Village crews are considering replacing collapsed drainage tile inside the sinkhole near the roadway with 90-inch drainage pipe.

The area is near Canadaway Creek and is used for storm drainage.

Board members agreed all the projects would have to wait until warmer weather.

In other matters:

Board members approved Daniel and Kirk Miller as paid firefighters. They also approved Kevin St. George, Chris Curry, Brian Clukey II and Pamela Clukey as volunteer members of the Lambert Hose Fire Company.

Work on the long-range comprehensive plan is continuing this week with a session during the Planning Board meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday to discuss the Complete Streets proposal as adopted by New York State.

The Festival Fredonia Committee sent a letter to the board members stating they will no longer promote the farmers market. Vendors and local farmers who support the market have requested permission to form their own group to promote the market.

Fredonia Board discusses roof, road repairs

Were as water conserving as any in Cambria, having mostly up-to-date low-flow toilets and fixtures, and a rainwater catchment system I designed myself.

But the thought of being forced to change out all plumbing fixtures when we want to make alterations/additions to our almost 20-year-old home starting Jan. 1 sent quite a scare through me, as Im sure it did many others in the county.

The article in The Tribune does not tell enough, however. The obscure bill that was passed in 2009 does not require this changeout for maintenance and repair issues (even when a permit might be required), according to California Building Officials. Fresno County is following CALBOs interpretations.

Repairs and maintenance that are exempt from the changeout law include: electrical service, HVAC changeouts/repairs, re-roofing, sewer line replacement, siding or stucco replacement, site work (retaining walls, fences), water heater replacement, window replacement, residential solar systems, swimming pools and other minor repairs /maintenance as determined by CALBO.

I hope local officials will abide by CALBO interpretations, and possibly follow Fresno Countys lead.

GLASGOW Bo Matthews, superintendent for the Barren County School District, gave a renovation update during the school board meeting Thursday.

Matthews said the roofing projects will be worked on in late spring because he wants to wait for warmer temperatures.

We have a timeline established for the complete removal and replacement of the roof on the gymnasium at [BCHS], Matthews said after the meeting. Theres one more piece to the project. Were actually going to include a roof replacement up at central office on the square in Glasgow, which was the former Glasgow post office. Weve also got approval to address storm water drainage issues that are in the front of the school near the gymnasium. Thats going to be taken care of as well in this project.

Matthews said revamping the media center at BCHS will also be part of the update.

Our plan for the media center renovation is to begin after the last day of school for the school year, Matthews said. That way the bulk of the renovations will be taken care of during the month of June and July and were hoping to complete the remainder of the renovation project for the media center by fall break and thats in order to protect as much as the learning environment during the school year as we can.

Since the library was built in the early 1970s, it has remained the same configuration, he said.

We are going to transform that from a library to a media center, Matthews said. Weve had some technology issues, some lighting issues. We are beginning to transform from the library full of books to electronic media usage. Weve got both types of facilities at all of our elementary schools. Were state-of-the-art at the middle school and the Trojan Academy. Its time that at our highest level of learning at [BCHS] that we move into the 21st century with a media center to complement all of our other parts of [BCHS].

In other news, Cindy Greer from the Campbell Myers and Rutledge firm presented the audit report for the most recent school year.

Matthews said they received a clean audit.

There were no material infractions that had to be addressed, Matthews said. There were some clerical procedural errors that we will be working on, but that will be taken care of by way of training. Certainly with the volume of dollars that come in and go out of the district, we are very proud to present that to the public as our staff members are being good stewards with the dollars that we have to transact with.

The Construction Defect Center says, "Because according to court records Atlas is no longer making the Atlas Chalet shingle, many homeowners are now stuck with a complete replacement of their home's roofing shingles. Court documents allege Atlas Chalet roofing shingles began to blister within the first year of installation, and show significant loss of granulation, and these shingles had issues related to premature cracking." The Construction Defect Center is encouraging any homeowner who has the Atlas Chalet shingle on their home's roof to call them immediately at 866-714-6466, if the following has happened:

The Construction Defect Center is urging homeowners whose roof has Atlas Chalet shingles to contact them immediately at 866-714-6466, especially if the homeowner has unsuccessfully attempted to get the manufacturer replace this specific type of roof shingle-with no success, and especially if the home is located to the US Southeast, or Midwest.

What is a Atlas Chalet Shingle? According to court records, the Atlas Chalet shingle was supposedly created to provide an affordable shingle that has the eye appeal of the more expensive architectural shingle. The Atlas Chalet was a shingle that was manufactured to provide a dimensional appearance in a granule overlay shingle. It is not an architectural shingle but rather achieved this look by utilizing random color palettes in a double thickness and creating a shadow line. The result is a 3 tab shingle that provides the eye-appeal of an architectural shingle. The Construction Defect Center says,"If you are a homeowner with a roofing product called the Atlas Chalet shingle, and this specific type of roof shingle has started to crack, blister or curl, please call us immediately at 866-714-6466, and we will do our best to make certain you get to national caliber law firms that are working on the Atlas Chalet shingle litigation." http://ConstructionDefectCenter.Com
