encoded: Spelandet har förändrats dramatiskt under de senaste åren, med en ökning av internationella alternativ som ger spelare en mängd olika resurser för underhållning. Denna utveckling har gjort det möjligt för individer att anpassa sina spelvanor och samtidigt ha en ökad personlig kontroll över sina aktiviteter. Med tillgång till mängder av information kan spelare nu fatta mer välgrundade beslut i sina val av plattformar och spel. Det är viktigt att tänka på trygghet och säkerhet när man utforskar dessa alternativ. Genom att implementera effektiva skyddsmekanismer kan spelare skydda sig mot potentiella risker som kan följa med olika former av spelande. Spelaransvar är högsta prioritet, och att vara medveten om sina egna spelvanor är en grundläggande del av denna ansvarighet. Säkerhetsåtgärder spelar en central roll i skyddet av spelarna, oavsett plattformen de väljer att använda. Det är av yttersta vikt att förstå hur man kan utnyttja dessa åtgärder för att säkerställa en trygg och ansvarsfull spelupplevelse. Med rätt inställning och kunskapsbaserad information kan man njuta av spänningen utan att förlora kontrollen. Hur väljer man rätt utländsk plattform för personliga behov? Att hitta en lämplig spelplattform kräver noggrant övervägande av flera faktorer. En viktig aspekt att beakta är skyddsmekanismer som erbjuds av olika operatörer. Dessa kan inkludera verktyg för att sätta gränser för insättningar och förlorade belopp, vilket ger personlig kontroll över spelvanor. Det är avgörande att spela på en plattform som prioriterar spelansvar och erbjuder resurser för att hantera spelande på ett säkert sätt. Analysera även safety measures såsom krypteringsteknik och licenser. En plattform som är transparent med sina säkerhetsåtgärder visar på en stark åtagande för kundernas trygghet. Att undersöka information om plattformens historia och användarrecensioner kan också ge en bra känsla av dess rykte i branschen. Ett annat viktigt inslag är aktuella trender inom branschen, inklu…

According to the Steel Deck Institute when a 14 gauge sump pan is properly installed it will carry the load of the deck that it replaced and act as a small header to transfer loads into the adjacent sheets. Place 1 1/2″ deep reinforcing channels in each rib at each side of opening. Attach flanges of sump pan to channels or Z reinforcing. Sump pan attachment to channel or Z reinforcing Channels may be used to reinforce the deck on both sides of the opening. Each end of the channels must rest on a primary support and fastened securely to the deck and sump pan.

encoded: Solar Roofs initial cost is about twice as much as many standard roofing systems. However many of us know little about them in general. Like how does a solar roof system function? This can be complicated to explain to someone that is not familiar with solar systems. Basically when sunlight hits the PV panel, it’s cells absorb that energy and generate electricity in the process. The electrical properties of the PV cell provide all the voltage needed to drive that current though an external load. The system generates DC electricity, which is converted to usable AC power. The power will be stored and distributed through the existing electrical outlets throughout the building. Of course that is just the short version, but hopefully you get the point. Is a solar roof system worth the investment? Well that depends. If you are in Florida and get plenty of sunshine year around you will get more out of a system than somewhere like Alaska. It’s not uncommon for companies to save 40% or more on their electricity bills a year, and most save a minimum of 15%. Many state and federal incentives are offered as well, that can save a company even more money. As you can see these systems can eventually pay for themselves, and a good system should last 20 years or more if properly designed and installed.

encoded: This weekend was my first trip to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. It was well worth the $18.95 admission, and the $5.00 for parking. It’s a great way to get some exercise (a lot of walking involved), while seeing beautiful scenery. They had a wide variety of plants both inside and out, and even a park for children. When first entering the building of the Atlanta Botanical Garden I noticed a green roof (or as I call it a roof garden). I consider any energy efficient roof as “green”, roofs that I see on a daily basis. However, I do not see many roof gardens in the south, so I snapped some photos. <img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1248" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-1248 " title="roof garden at Atlanta Botanical Garden" alt="roof garden" src="http://flatroofer.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/20130928_150616.jpg" width="741" height="555" srcset="http://flatroofer.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/20130928_150616.jpg 3264w, http://flatroofer.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/20130928_150616-300x225.jpg 300w, http://flatroofer.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/20130928_150616-1024x768.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px" /> Green Roof at Atlanta Botanical Garden <img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1254" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-1254" title="Live roof" alt="living roof" src="http://flatroofer.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/20130928_150625-1024x768.jpg" width="614" height="461" srcset="http://flatroofer.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/20130928_150625-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http://flatroofer.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/20130928_150625-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px" /> Plants on Roof Plants cover nearly 50% of the visitor center roof area, provide natural cooling, sound insulation, and additional wildlife habitat for the many squirrels, birds, lizards, and critters that live at the park.

encoded: The bill to create licensed Georgia roofing contractors (House Bill 301) was dropped on day sixteen of the current Georgia legislative session. The bill has been assigned to the regulated industries committee. This bill is intended to protect Georgia homeowners and businesses, who are regularly victimized by fly by night roofers. Often from our neighboring states, all of which have strict licensing requirements, they come to Georgia because our lack of regulation allows them to prey on the unwary. After every natural disaster in the state, whether a hurricane on the coast or the recent destructive tornado in Adairsville, unqualified roofers descend on Georgia to take advantage of the victims, making easy money doing shoddy work, or taking deposits and doing no work at all. This bill is crucial to the future of regulation in the roofing industry. For a copy of the bill please visit: http://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/en-US/Display/20132014/HB/301

encoded: Rust treatment should be part of a regular roof maintenance program. If left untreated the rust can destroy a metal roofing system. The rust will create damage to the structural integrity of the metal roof panels. For best practices rust should be treated when it first appears prior to its spreading. It can be important to determine the main cause of the rust. For example: if caused by galvanic corrosion, remove the questionable corrosive metal and replace it with a similar metal to the substrate. Before applying a rust inhibitor the surface must be thoroughly cleaned to promote proper adhesion. Then the surface must be dried, before applying a surface seal. Then the roof should be treated for rust. Heavy rust may require a second application of rust inhibitor material.

encoded: Roof recovering is roofing over an existing membrane. This requires that special considerations be taken. Check for moisture: trapped moisture may cause blisters, damage insulation and, in some cases affect the structural integrity of the deck. Check structural load capacity: make sure that the existing roof can withstand the additional weight of a new roof assembly. Remove walkway pads and all wood blocking: do not roof over wood blocking and walkway pads. Make sure that the existing roof provides a smooth substrate for the new roof. Remove gravel surface: remove all gravel surface with a power broom or vacuum to ensure a smooth surface. Remove and replace wet materials: these can affect the performance of the roof system. Remove coatings: this can be done with a power washer. Remove old flashings Repair blisters and ridges to achieve a flat substrate. Then make sure the roof surface is free of all dirt and debris.
