How Do I Keep from Burning Up My House After I Heat Shingles with Blowtorch
2008-06-03 11:23:00 In the news, recently, was the report of the colossal fire at Universal Studios in California, which was, apparently, started following roofers' use of a blowtorch to heat shingles (seems like a dumb procedure to start with). Reportedly, when the roofers' shift ended they sat around for an hour, wa

2008-04-16 15:00:00 Spring is almost here (if you live in Wisconsin), is already here (if you live in a normal state) or maybe has already passed you (if you live in Southern California, where there are already summer-like temperatures. But if you live in SoCal, you don't care because your life is perfect.)Whatever the status of your actual spring, this time of year means getting outside and fixing up the damage that winter has done to your house. And you ought to start with the roof. I know from experience. A year ago, I went outside and got up on a ladder to look at our roof and found a hole. An actual hole, about 3 feet wide, where a raccoon had started a home for himself.My initial solution (shingle over the hole; hope for the best) was not approved by Sweetie. So we instead decided to re-roof the house. I was glad, in the end, that we did that, because not only did it take care of the problem (actually taking care of problems is one of Sweetie's strong points. Me, not so much) but it made our ho...

Solar Cell Roofing - Energy Producing Shingles That Look Like A Normal Roof
2008-02-27 11:15:00 Solar cell roofing made from solar shingles or solar panels is being increasingly incorporated into the construction of new and existing residential and commercial buildings. Some systems can be hooked in with your conventional electric supply, and can literally make your meter spin backwards so you get a check in the mail instead of a bill.Solar cell roofing made from solar shingles or solar panels is being increasingly incorporated into the construction of new residential and commercial buildings.

More Female Attorneys Hanging Shingles for the Benefits of Solo Practice
2008-02-27 01:46:00 Increasing numbers of female attorneys are declaring their independence. Several women have hung out shingles in Sauk County in recent years. They left established firms to start solo practices, taking a financial risk in search of flexible schedules and decision-making authority. Sandra Cardo Gorsuch was a pioneer, starting a solo practice in Reedsburg 12 years ago. Now she takes the cases she finds rewarding — primarily family law, real estate and probate — and turns down the types of personal injury cases her former firm once assigned. "I enjoy the ability to make my own decisions about what I do and don't do," Gorsuch said. "I can pick the clients I want to take." A desire for autonomy played a role in Nancy Thome's decision to launch a practice in Baraboo a year ago after a dozen years working at firms. As a mother of two small children, she also sought a flexible schedule that would allow her to attend school events or stay home when they fall ill.You can read more h...

Shingles Natural Treatment
2007-12-25 23:18:00 Shingles Natural TreatmentIn the past ten years recent studies and research with alternative treatments for shingles has shown it is possible to recover in less than one week and to reduce outbreaks of lesions and pain in three days. Shingles is a serious health condition and it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations. Traditionally, most doctors prescribe painkillers for the temporary symptomatic relief of the pain and an antiviral drug to suppress the virus. This form of treatment with drugs reduces the severity and frequency of outbreaks but does not eliminate it from the body. This course of treatment can take six weeks or more and does very little for the patient. The pain associated with shingles can continue long after the initial outbreak. Some doctors prescribe steroids or itch-relieving creams that contains steroids. Recent studies question the effectiveness of steroids in relieving shingles and suggest avoiding any treatment with steroids. Monitoring by yo...
