Roof Leak > Mold Worry?
Hi guys, It's rainy season here in San Francisco and I've been discovering (and battling) some minor roof leaks, here and there. In the past week, there's been a couple of days of rain, and each day, I seem to discover a new, minor leak, patch it up the following day, when it's dry, and that's happened a couple times, now. I have to wonder... when should one start to worry about mold? The roof 'sandwich' has soaked through a few times, but always dried up with a day or so. Realistically, when do I need to be concerned about mold? Everything seems to dry pretty fast, but who can predict what's going in in the inner layers of the roof 'sandwich'? (A few times, I've pressed pretty hard on the dry upholstery exterior and still managed to get some trace moisture out of the wood layer, behind it.) My roof layers are pretty thin - it's a Rialta with upholstered wood/foam/sheet metal. Also, for what it's worth, the soaked areas are generally pretty small. These haven't been crazy leaks - but they have been leaks. Thoughts?721Views0likes1CommentRepositioning Copper Piping
Hi all, I have a 96 Rialta and I'm trying to reconfigure some existing, stock copper piping that supplies propane. I'm not trying to do anything drastic, I just want to reshape at a little so it's out of the way, and move the endpoint so it's a few inches to the side. So I'm wondering... what are the rules surrounding safely bending copper piping? Do you just bend it as you like, while keeping an eye on it to make sure you don't rupture the pipe? It looks as if the copper pipe was already manually shaped into place, for the previous appliance it hooked up to. Thanks!2.6KViews0likes13Comments
