John Dirks Jr Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I was searching on google for stuff when I came across this link with roof terms. I thought it might be helpful reading. Especially for some of the newer ones like me. http://missionvalleyroofing.com/allabou ... ssary.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 That's a decent bit of vocabulary. Very helpful, not just for noob's AFAIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Very interesting, this one caught my attention. Pitch. The slope of a roof, indicated by the relation of the rise 10" high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 You guys actually read all of that to find the non-sequitur/nonsense? I just skimmed down the first several dozen words, and basically found it adequate. There's a couple things in there I'd buff up. Probably a lack of proof reading more than stupidity. Heck, even the proof readers can't read anymore. We should have a reward for any construction related document that doesn't have idiot errors.

kurt Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Originally posted by SonOfSwamp Heck, I didn't read all of it. I went straight to the non-sequitur, because it's so mangled and useless. It's like a bad wreck on the Interstate. I gawk. WJid="blue"> We got a name for the secondary traffic tieups caused by folks looking at bad wrecks. They're called "Gapers Delays". The morning rush hour commentators rattle down the tie ups, and there's always a Gapers Delay somewhere. Aside from the dark aspect, it's kind of a funny term. Bad proof reading is a contributor to the general collapse of intelligent society, near as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad proof reading is a contributor to the general collapse of intelligent society, near as I can tell. As an ex-cop, rubbernecking aggravates me to no end. If I were king, there'd be a requirement for the first responder on-scene to post a minimum speed limit sign next to the accident and anyone whose speed drops under that would be stopped, cited, and their auto would be confiscated and sold at auction without any right to appeal. Bet that would clear 98% of the traffic jams caused by rubbernecking within ten minutes. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
