  Is this just cosmetic or is there a real benefit to the lack of corner?

  • TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s hard to do with slate tiled roofs. The slates have to overlap to keep water out and the tiles aren’t flexible. So when you get to a corner you basically start the layering process over again.

    They sell corner pieces for slate, but they’re pricey. So you typically see them do metal flashing in the corners, or some fancy tiling like in the post.

    I’m guessing they just did the corners in this post, the rest of the roof looks older. Probably just replacing some bad flashing with something more permanent.

    The only thing I can think of is that it would mitigate the risk of leaf litter corroding the flashing. It does add cost, so profit, so there is that.

      Yes, avoiding leaf buildup or avoiding water over-run on the flashing is important, but it is mainly because there is only one correct answer when,as humans, we get a chance to answer the question “Do you want to live inside a giant pangolin?”

      You are correct, but slate is already pricey. You comment implies that company was gouging, though maybe not your intent. Sometimes a person wants something and will pay the price to get it.

      It’s in the UK, there will be a layer of roofing felt underneath the slate that prevents pests getting in. Roofing felt is the same stuff that shingles are made from in the US but comes in a roll. So in the UK we have basically the roof you’d have in the US and then another slate roof on top, it rains a lot here, we probably have some of the best roofing in the world.

    • Quexotic@infosec.pub ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Maybe it’s because I grew up around a lot of shailed deposits. I’m assuming slate is much more durable than shale and that they’re different. I don’t know anything about rocks, don’t hate me.

  You ever notice these memes are always framed as a man complaining about his partner who is a woman? In a normal world there would be a roughly equal amount of memes framed as a woman complaining about her partner who is a man. What can we conclude from this disparity?

  Is it that men are just more likely to whine and complain than women? No, surely this must be a case of women being uptight and not appreciating anything outside their narrow range of hobbies and interests.

  I mean, surely this woman’s failure to appreciate a complex carpentry/roofing job isn’t at all related to the fact that the carpentry/roofing industry is extremely biased towards hiring men and thus women in general have wayyyy less incentive to learn this much about carpentry/roofing unless they are just specifically interested in those things for some weird reason.

  I know its a dumb meme, and I am not singling out OP or even this meme, I just want to see more women-complaining-about-uptight-men memes.

    “You ever notice these memes are always framed as a man complaining about his partner who is a woman?”

    If by that you mean just the memes that are framed as a man complaining about their partner who is a woman. Which seems so specific that it’s a tautological overly fitted category description.

    My mum has no interest in anything like that. She always says it’s for my dad to do it. My sister has no interest in any of that.

    My girlfriends have always got me to do stuff/ have no interest in any of that stuff. I’ve never worked in carpentry or roofing.

    Most of my guy mates would apprised this post. Maybe somethings are just largely innate and that’s okay?

  Non roofer here

  Is slate picked for any reason over asphalt shingles or is it just an aesthetic thing?

  source

  • Bytemeister@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    From what I recall, shingled roofs are usually “30 year” roofs, and slate roofs are “100 year” roofs.

    source

    • NegativeInf@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s all 2 year roofing, max, down here in hurricane land.

      source
    • gens@programming.dev ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      With a bit of patching, yea shingles can be 30. Unless air circulation is bad, then 10. I worked on one re-shingling the west side, when the east side looked good as new (10yo roof, iirc). Just some weird airflow on that side (neighbours house maybe).

    It lasts forever with regular maintenance. I moved into a house with a slate roof that’s 96 years old. We just a rooofer come out and replace a few cracked tiles every year. Not necessarily any cheaper but the cost is spread out and it seems less wasteful.

    source
  • Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s an old timey thing. Slate naturally is fairly flat naturally and easily made into squares. It lasted much longer than cedar and newer methods weren’t around. People still using it are after the look.

    source
  • Wanderer@lemm.ee ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Well its between slate or clay tiles.

    Stale is more expensive and fancy.

    No one would use shingles because it lasts about a week and looks like shit.

• krashmo@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  That is beautiful but it seems like a lot more work than the standard way of dealing with an inside corner like that and for no real benefit other than aesthetics.
