Digg it UP - Shingling a Roof
There is more to Tanzania National Parks than Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. Tanzania is blessed with many National Parks that are remote, have a high density of animals and offer a taste of Africa that is rarely offered by most other safari destinations. These National Parks offer exceptional safaris and they are not just off the beaten track but well and truly in the wilds of Africa. These parks are home huge herds of animals; predators; innumerable birds and best of all few tourists. Some parks boasting one million hectares with one lodge and a handful of guests.First of all I must mention two parks very briefly; these parks are well known but underrated and largely ignored. They deserve better and therefore are worthy of a mention here. The first is Arusha National Park;

The internal advisor can be a specialist of any field in (the) organization. The accountant is one of the most common examples we all know. The accountant prepares the financial figures and is more than anyone else up to day with the roundabouts of the organization.Other (internal) advisors you often find are: Internal communication advisor External communication advisor (PR) Internal control HRM ICT Security and Risk Tax and legal Marketing or Sales …If you look at it, the advisory role could pop up in any area of specialism. And this quite normal because for each of the above mentioned areas your organization would want to know things like; “what is the competition doing in this area, what a
Required Tools
In order to roof a house properly and safely the following tools are needed: Ladders, Roof Jacks, Hammer, Carpenters Knife, Chalk Line, and preferably a compressor or nail gun.
Estimating Materials
Typically the roof is measured in squares, where a “square” represents 100 square feet. There are eighty shingles in one square. However, when you go to your local home improvement store shingles are usually sold in bundles. Usually three bundles equal one square, however this can vary slightly pending the shingle style.
Measure the area of your roof (length x width) and divide by 100 to get the number of squares required. Then multiply this number by three to get the number of bundles of shingles required for the job. Add an additional 10-15% for spare, leaning toward the 15% if your roof has hips and valleys.
Drip edge, ice and water shield, asphalt paper, flashing, roofing nails, and hip and ridge vents will also be required. The Drip edge comes in various lengths. Measure the outside perimeter of the roof to calculate the drip edge required. The ice and water shield, asphalt paper and flashing come in roles. Use your roof square area calculation for determining your asphalt paper requirements. Typically only one or two courses of ice and water shield is required along the bottom/eave of the roof and in the valleys. Calculate 2 times the length of the roof and valleys to estimate the amount of ice and water shield required.
Typically each shingle will require 4-6 roofing nails and flashing usually comes in 16” wide roles or 6x6 or 8x8 square inch steps. Step flashing is typically used around chimneys, dormers and side wall junctions. Hip and Ridge vent will vary with local building codes, however a rough estimate would be to measure the length of your roof’s hip and ridges and take 75% of this figure for calculating the amount of vent required.

We often hear about the dangers associated with foreign travel. Lonely Planet and Rough Guides devote pages to them, and insurance underwriters no doubt get their kids through college on them.From the moment we set off we are left believing that if the earthquakes don’t get us, it’s inevitable that the robbers probably will. Just have a scan through the Dangers and Annoyances pages of, for instance, any Central American Guidebook and you’ll see exactly what I mean. The reader will be obliged to re-check the front cover to ensure they haven’t picked up a copy of Dante’s Peak by mistake. Read the Guide to Indonesia and it’s exactly the same, but this time with The Poseidon Adventure.Now, I must make it clear that whilst I’m not pooh-poohing or pointing fun at these warnings, or the devastating

Dear DeborahQuestion From Ann, NewYork City: Every time I begin a fitness program, life gets in the way, I start stalling and before I know it I've fallen off the wagon and gained 5lbs. I can't really afford a personal trainer but I can see how they can help you stay on track. I've tried DVD's and classes with no success. Is there anything out there that can help me?Answer : Thank you Ann for your honesty, I know many women have similar frustrations while pursuing their fitness lifestyle. There's a lot of new research out there in the Fitness world and from that dearth of research is a new hybrid of personal trainers. They're called Fitness Lifestyle Coaches, they can provide both exercise and behavioral guidance and they are a cheaper alternative to a Personal Fitness Trainer. I will addres

Every morning as I am drying my hair, putting on my makeup and generally getting ready for the day, my four year old son and his two year old sister find immense pleasure in trying on my shoes. They come wobbling in my highest of heels or in latest pair of newly bought sandals… “Mommy, mommy! Look at these! Mommy, do you like the red ones or the black ones the best?” I too remember when I was about their age and maybe even a bit older, how much I enjoyed trying on my mothers shoes, jewelry, hats…anything that made me feel a bit more grown up. How interesting it was that even as I wobbled, and tripped over myself I felt confident, powerful and ready to take on the world.That early experience when we put on shoes that were too big for us, when we teetered around trying to find new ways of being w

Everyone I talk to wants to know how to get rid of stress, eliminate it and become stress free. Pick up just about any magazine these days and you will find an article telling you how to get rid of or manage your stress.I am here to tell you that stress is not the enemy. Stress is often what pushes us forward in life. It helps us to cram for exams, finish that project, and clean the house before company arrives. Stress helps us to win contests and races, ace that test or the job interview. Stress is often the very thing that helps us to make necessary changes in our life like leaving a bad relationship or moving on to a better job opportunity.Stress does play an important role in our lives. With out stress our lives are dull and our performance is low. The right amount

Apply the Ice and Water Shield Membrane and the Asphalt Paper
Apply the ice and water shield material such that it is flush with the drip edge. If the climate in your area has harsh winters and/or significant annual rainfall, add a second course of ice and water shield for added protection. You should also add the ice and water shield membrane in the valleys.
Next apply the asphalt paper to the entire roof, starting from the bottom and working towards the ridge. Make sure each course of asphalt paper overlaps the lower row by several inches (effectively shingling with the asphalt paper).
Install metal flashing
Install metal flashing in all of the valleys. Step flashing around chimneys and dormers will be added as the shingles are installed.
Installing the Shingles
Start the shingling at the bottom of the roof (or at the eaves). Lay a starter course such that the bottom edge of the shingle lines up flush with the drip edge. The starter strip is a “tabless” shingle that you make from the regular shingles using your carpenter’s knife.
Lay your next course of full shingles over the first course, staggering the starter joints from the first course to prevent water penetration.
Note: Sometimes you may want to start with a full or a partial shingle at one end. In either case, you want to try to avoid small shingle pieces at the far end of the roof. To prevent this, divide the length of the roof by the length of a full shingle and assess how much of a shingle length you want to start with. Ideally you do not want to have pieces smaller than 12”.
Use a Chalk Line
To ensure your shingle courses run straight use a chalk line. Measure the finished reveal on your shingles. Usually this is about 5 inches. Then make marks every 5 inches on the gable ends of the roof. Snap a chalk line between the gable ends at each pair of marks all the way up the roof. This will ensure that you shingles run true and straight as you progress up the roof with t
