ok, this Kevin Woo guy is the most fantastic chad i've heard of in a while:

The journalist who exposed Lambda School wasn't a journalist by trade. Vincent Woo was a successful entrepreneur best known for CoderPad, a collaborative coding website used extensively in programming job interviews. After he sold CoderPad for millions of dollars, he focused on the public interest, such as housing activism.

Woo's work on CoderPad gave him expert insight into the programming job market, and in 2019, Austen's outrageous hiring numbers set off red flags. Whenever pressed for more details on his outrageous claims, Austen said a full report was coming soon, but six months would pass without any updates.

Woo obtained an investment memo Lambda School sent out to Y Combinator titled, "Human Capital: The Last Unoptimized Asset Class." In it, they disclose, “We’re at roughly 50% placement for cohorts that are 6 months graduated,” contradicting the very front page of their website.

Where did the 86% on their homepage come from? In 2018, Lambda School submitted a single report about 72 graduates to CIRR. CIRR is an organization formed by the boot camp industry following the boot camp crackdown of the 2010s, to cleanup their image. Bootcamps are supposed to submit their hiring stats every six months, in one standard format, to prevent underhanded boot camps from fudging the numbers. In two years, Lambda School had produced nothing beyond that single, small report.

Woo reached out to Sabrina Baez, Lambda School's former Director of Career Readiness. Baez oversaw job placement in those early days, and Austen had reprimanded her for low hiring rates. She told Woo that probably only 50% to 60% of graduates found jobs.

Finally, Woo obtained private communications with investors revealing the quiet deals with hedge funds. This flew in the face of their marketing's, "We don’t get paid until you do," and Austen's now-deleted tweet, “We never, ever get paid upfront for ISAs.”

With all the damning evidence, the story was ready. Most reporters would now email their subjects for comment, but Woo elevated the story to performance art. He asked Austen for a recorded interview, without revealing its nature. Austen, lulled into a false sense of security by tech press puff pieces, agreed. What followed was the most riveting hour of tech journalism I've ever heard.

Austen: "Our goal right now, is that if a student is endorsed, call it graduation, that we place 80% within 120 days."

Woo: "Why did you tell investors 50?"

Austen: "What… I don't know… what communication you're referring to."

The interview went downhill from there, as Austen scrambled to invent excuses.

Can asphalt shingles be used on low-pitch roofs?

Did you know that while asphalt shingles are a popular choice for many homes, they aren't suitable for every roof type? Specifically, their performance can be compromised on low-pitch roofs, potentially leading to issues like water leakage and reduced lifespan.

If you're considering asphalt shingles for a low-pitch roof, it's essential to understand the challenges and make informed decisions. Equally important is selecting a reliable roofing contractor who can provide expert guidance and quality installation. The right contractor ensures your roof's durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal, giving you peace of mind for years to come.

In this article, we'll explore the suitability of asphalt shingles for low-pitch roofs and offer practical advice on hiring a trustworthy contractor. With the right information, you can navigate this process confidently and achieve a successful roofing project.

Understanding Roof Pitch and Asphalt Shingles

What Is Roof Pitch?

Roof pitch refers to the steepness or slope of a roof, typically expressed as a ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run. For example, a 4:12 pitch means the roof rises 4 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance.

Minimum Slope for Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are generally recommended for roofs with a pitch of 4:12 or steeper. However, they can be installed on slopes as low as 2:12, provided special underlayment techniques are used to enhance water resistance.

Risks of Using Asphalt Shingles on Low-Pitch Roofs

Installing asphalt shingles on low-pitch roofs can lead to:

Water Leakage: Shallower slopes may not shed water effectively, increasing the risk of leaks.

Reduced Lifespan: Increased exposure to standing water can cause shingles to deteriorate faster.

Warranty Issues: Some manufacturers may void warranties if shingles are installed on slopes below their recommended minimum.

Alternative Roofing Materials for Low-Pitch Roofs

If your roof has a low pitch, consider these alternatives:

Modified Bitumen: A flexible, durable material suitable for low-slope applications.

Single-Ply Membranes (e.g., TPO, EPDM): Lightweight and resistant to weathering, ideal for low-slope roofs.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR): Multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics create a durable, waterproof membrane.

Hiring a Reliable Asphalt Roofing Contractor

Choosing the right contractor is crucial for a successful roofing project. Here's how to find one you can trust:

Verify Licenses and Insurance

Ensure the contractor has the following:

Proper Licensing: Confirms they meet local requirements and adhere to building codes.

Insurance Coverage: Protects you from liability in case of accidents or property damage during the project.

Check References and Reviews

Ask for References: Speak with previous clients about their experiences.

Read Online Reviews: Look for consistent positive feedback and any red flags.

Evaluate Experience with Asphalt Roofing

Years in Business: Experience often correlates with reliability and quality workmanship.

Specialization: Ensure they have specific experience with asphalt shingles and low-pitch roofs, if applicable.

Review Portfolios

Previous Projects: Examine completed projects to assess quality and attention to detail.

Diverse Experience: A varied portfolio indicates adaptability to different roofing challenges.

Understand Warranties

Workmanship Warranty: Covers installation-related issues.

Manufacturer’s Warranty: Covers defects in roofing materials.

Compare Written Estimates

Detailed Quotes: Ensure estimates include labor, materials, and any additional costs.

Value Over Price: The lowest bid isn't always the best; consider the quality of materials and workmanship.

Key Questions to Ask During Consultations

When meeting with potential contractors, consider asking:

What is your experience with low-pitch roofs and asphalt shingles?

Can you provide references from recent clients?

What warranties do you offer on materials and workmanship?

How do you handle unforeseen issues during the project?

What is the projected timeline for completion?

Making an Informed Decision

Selecting the right contractor involves careful consideration:

Research Thoroughly: Use online resources, seek recommendations, and verify credentials.

Trust Your Instincts: Choose someone who communicates clearly and makes you feel comfortable.

Get Everything in Writing: Contracts should detail the scope of work, payment schedules, and warranties.

Conclusion

While asphalt shingles can be used on low-pitch roofs with proper precautions, it's essential to assess their suitability for your specific situation. Equally important is hiring a reliable contractor who can provide expert advice and quality installation. By following the steps outlined above, you can make informed decisions that enhance your home's value and protection.

Take the first step today: conduct thorough research, seek recommendations, and choose a contractor who will ensure your roofing project is a success. With the right guidance, you'll find the process straightforward and rewarding.

NYT: Congressman D'Esposito Had an Affair. Then He Put His Lover on the Payroll.

Nicholas Fandos at NYT:

As a proud son of Nassau County’s vaunted Republican machine, Representative Anthony D’Esposito of New York knows well the power of political patronage. Every member of his immediate family has held a town or county job, and as a local official, he routinely helped friends find spots on the government payroll. Yet even by those standards, Mr. D’Esposito’s hiring decisions since he won a seat in Congress in 2022 have been audacious — and in two cases may have transgressed ethics rules designed to combat nepotism and corruption.

Shortly after taking the oath of office, the first-term congressman hired his longtime fiancée’s daughter to work as a special assistant in his district office, eventually bumping her salary to about $3,800 a month, payroll records show. In April, Mr. D’Esposito added someone even closer to him to his payroll: a woman with whom he was having an affair, according to four people familiar with the relationship. The woman, Devin Faas, collected $2,000 a month for a part-time job in the same district office. Payments to both women stopped abruptly several months later, in July 2023, records show, around the time that Mr. D’Esposito’s fiancée found out about his relationship with Ms. Faas and briefly broke up with him, according to the four people. Mr. D’Esposito has not been publicly accused of wrongdoing, but his employment of the two women, which resulted in the payment of about $29,000 in taxpayer funds, could expose him to discipline in the House of Representatives.

The House code of conduct prohibits members of Congress from employing spouses or relatives, including stepchildren. Though Mr. D’Esposito has never married, congressional ethics experts said that employing a woman akin to his stepdaughter, who shared a home with him, could breach the requirement that members of Congress “adhere to the spirit and the letter of the rules.” A separate provision adopted in the wake of the #MeToo movement explicitly states that lawmakers “may not engage in a sexual relationship with any employee of the House who works under the supervision of the member.” The experts said the circumstances could also prompt an investigation into whether either position had broken a ban on no-show or low-show jobs, potentially exposing Mr. D’Esposito, a former police detective, to additional scrutiny by the House and law enforcement officials. “There are lots of shades of gray in ethics stuff. This is something that is obvious,” said Donald Sherman, a former lawyer for the House Ethics Committee who serves as chief counsel at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a nonpartisan watchdog group. “The House is trying to prevent members from using government funds to enrich their family or close associates,” he added. Matt Capp, a spokesman for Mr. D’Esposito, did not deny that the congressman had a relationship with Ms. Faas and declined to comment on his employment of either woman.

“We do not comment on personnel matters,” Mr. Capp said. “Congressman D’Esposito remains focused on fighting for real issues that impact Long Islanders, like securing our borders and ending the affordability crisis.” Asked to speak about the relationship by phone on Monday, Ms. Faas said “no thank you” and hung up. Knowledge of Mr. D’Esposito’s tangled personal and professional lives passed through Republican circles on Long Island for years, though none of it has ever been reported. The New York Times confirmed his affair with Ms. Faas with three people who had detailed knowledge of it but requested anonymity for fear of reprisal. A reporter also corroborated this account with Ms. Faas’s ex-husband, Derek W. Ciaschi, who said the extramarital affair ended his marriage. The Times reviewed text messages from summer 2022 that appear to show Mr. D’Esposito and Ms. Faas exchanging love notes and coordinating meet-ups while Mr. D’Esposito was running for Congress. “Love you till Monday,” Ms. Faas wrote in one characteristic text, adding a “💖.” “So much,” Mr. D’Esposito replied. “SO SO.”

Making Government a Family Business

Members of Congress have a long history of making nepotism hires, providing no-show jobs and getting involved in romantic entanglements. But a series of reforms have made the practices increasingly rare.

[...]

He used his council office to benefit family, voting in 2017 to amend the town’s labor contract to protect employees, including three relatives, from termination after Ms. Gillen became the first Democrat to be elected supervisor in more than a century. A state judge said Mr. D’Esposito should have recused himself, and not doing so violated the “spirit and intent” of the town ethics code. He faced no punishment. His willingness to help was not limited to blood relatives. Around 2017, Mr. D’Esposito pushed his connections to secure a position for his longtime fiancée, Cynthia Lark, in one of the town’s villages, East Rockaway, according to an associate of Mr. D’Esposito with direct knowledge of the matter. He also helped Ms. Lark’s son get a job with the East Rockaway sanitation department.

Mr. D’Esposito and Ms. Lark, a divorced mother of three, had been dating since around 2010. Though they never married, associates said Mr. D’Esposito introduced Ms. Lark, 61, as his fiancée, spent vacations and holidays with her and moved into her Tudor-style home in East Rockaway. Yet beginning around 2021, Mr. D’Esposito also secretly began a relationship with Ms. Faas, 38, a secretary for the Town of Hempstead who ran in local Republican circles. The relationship was serious and protracted enough that it broke up Ms. Faas’s marriage when Mr. Ciaschi discovered it. [...]

A Pair of Questionable Hires

When he took office in January 2023, Mr. D’Esposito largely turned to familiar faces, not seasoned policy hands, to build out his team. Only two, though, appear to have tested the limits of House ethics rules: Ms. Lark’s daughter Tessa Lark and Ms. Faas. Tessa Lark began as a part-time employee in January, not long after Mr. D’Esposito took the oath of office. She had just graduated from art school, and records show she was registered to vote at the East Rockaway home shared by the congressman. Payroll sheets indicate she was paid $21,181.94 over about six months. House rules bar members of Congress from employing family members, a prohibition designed to prevent them from exploiting government service to enrich themselves or their families.

The New York Times released a bombshell report on Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) about his affair with a woman who he then hired to put on his payroll.

Valkey 7.2 On Memorystore: Open-Source Key-Value Service

The 100% open-source key-value service Memorystore for Valkey is launched by Google Cloud.

In order to give users a high-performance, genuinely open-source key-value service, the Memorystore team is happy to announce the preview launch of Valkey 7.2 support for Memorystore.

Memorystore for Valkey

A completely managed Valkey Cluster service for Google Cloud is called Memorystore for Valkey. By utilizing the highly scalable, reliable, and secure Valkey service, Google Cloud applications may achieve exceptional performance without having to worry about handling intricate Valkey deployments.

In order to guarantee high availability, Memorystore for Valkey distributes (or “shards”) your data among the primary nodes and duplicates it among the optional replica nodes. Because Valkey performance is greater on many smaller nodes rather than fewer bigger nodes, the horizontally scalable architecture outperforms the vertically scalable architecture in terms of performance.

Memorystore for Valkey is a game-changer for enterprises looking for high-performance data management solutions reliant on 100% open source software. It was added to the Memorystore portfolio in response to customer demand, along with Memorystore for Redis Cluster and Memorystore for Redis. From the console or gcloud, users can now quickly and simply construct a fully-managed Valkey Cluster, which they can then scale up or down to suit the demands of their workloads.

Thanks to its outstanding performance, scalability, and flexibility, Valkey has quickly gained popularity as an open-source key-value datastore. Valkey 7.2 provides Google Cloud users with a genuinely open source solution via the Linux Foundation. It is fully compatible with Redis 7.2 and the most widely used Redis clients, including Jedis, redis-py, node-redis, and go-redis.

Valkey is already being used by customers to replace their key-value software, and it is being used for common use cases such as caching, session management, real-time analytics, and many more.

Customers may enjoy a nearly comparable (and code-compatible) Valkey Cluster experience with Memorystore for Valkey, which launches with all the GA capabilities of Memorystore for Redis Cluster. Similar to Memorystore for Redis Cluster, Memorystore for Valkey provides RDB and AOF persistence, zero-downtime scaling in and out, single- or multi-zone clusters, instantaneous integrations with Google Cloud, extremely low and dependable performance, and much more. Instances up to 14.5 TB are also available.

Memorystore for Valkey, Memorystore for Redis Cluster, and Memorystore for Redis have an exciting roadmap of features and capabilities.

The momentum of Valkey

Just days after Redis Inc. withdrew the Redis open-source license, the open-source community launched Valkey in collaboration with the Linux Foundation in March 2024 (1, 2, 3). Since then, they have had the pleasure of working with developers and businesses worldwide to propel Valkey into the forefront of key-value data stores and establish it as a premier open source software (OSS) project. Google Cloud is excited to participate in this community launch with partners and industry experts like Snap, Ericsson, AWS, Verizon, Alibaba Cloud, Aiven, Chainguard, Heroku, Huawei, Oracle, Percona, Ampere, AlmaLinux OS Foundation, DigitalOcean, Broadcom, Memurai, Instaclustr from NetApp, and numerous others. They fervently support open source software.

The Valkey community has grown into a thriving group committed to developing Valkey the greatest open source key-value service available thanks to the support of thousands of enthusiastic developers and the former core OSS Redis maintainers who were not hired by Redis Inc.

With more than 100 million unique active users each month, Mercado Libre is the biggest finance, logistics, and e-commerce company in Latin America. Diego Delgado discusses Valkey with Mercado Libre as a Software Senior Expert:

At Mercado Libre, Google Cloud need to handle billions of requests per minute with minimal latency, which makes caching solutions essential. Google Cloud especially thrilled about the cutting-edge possibilities that Valkey offers. They have excited to investigate its fresh features and add to this open-source endeavor.”

The finest is still to come

By releasing Memorystore for Valkey 7.2, Memorystore offers more than only Redis Cluster, Redis, and Memcached. And Google Cloud is even more eager about Valkey 8.0’s revolutionary features. Major improvements in five important areas performance, reliability, replication, observability, and efficiency were introduced by the community in the first release candidate of Valkey 8.0. With a single click or command, users will be able to accept Valkey 7.2 and later upgrade to Valkey 8.0. Additionally, Valkey 8.0 is compatible with Redis 7.2, exactly like Valkey 7.2 was, guaranteeing a seamless transition for users.

The performance improvements in Valkey 8.0 are possibly the most intriguing ones. Asynchronous I/O threading allows commands to be processed in parallel, which can lead to multi-core nodes working at a rate that is more than twice as fast as Redis 7.2. From a reliability perspective, a number of improvements provided by Google, such as replicating slot migration states, guaranteeing automatic failover for empty shards, and ensuring slot state recovery is handled, significantly increase the dependability of Cluster scaling operations. The anticipation for Valkey 8.0 is already fueling the demand for Valkey 7.2 on Memorystore, with a plethora of further advancements across several dimensions (release notes).

Similar to how Redis previously expanded capability through modules with restricted licensing, the community is also speeding up the development of Valkey’s capabilities through open-source additions that complement and extend Valkey’s functionality. The capabilities covered by recently published RFCs (“Request for Comments”) include vector search for extremely high performance vector similarly search, JSON for native JSON support, and BloomFilters for high performance and space-efficient probabilistic filters.

Former vice president of Gartner and principal analyst of SanjMo Sanjeev Mohan offers his viewpoint:

The advancement of community-led initiatives to offer feature-rich, open-source database substitutes depends on Valkey. Another illustration of Google’s commitment to offering really open and accessible solutions for customers is the introduction of Valkey support in Memorystore. In addition to helping developers looking for flexibility, their contributions to Valkey also support the larger open-source ecosystem.

It seems obvious that Valkey is going to be a game-changer in the high-performance data management area with all of the innovation in Valkey 8.0, as well as the open-source improvements like vector search and JSON, and for client libraries.

Valkey is the secret to an OSS future

Take a look at Memorystore for Valkey right now, and use the UI console or a straightforward gcloud command to establish your first cluster. Benefit from OSS Redis compatibility to simply port over your apps and scale in or out without any downtime.

Right Garage Door For Your House

When it comes to the overall aesthetic appeal and functionality of your house, one element that often gets overlooked is the garage door. While it may seem like a minor detail, choosing the right garage door can significantly enhance the curb appeal and functionality of your home. In this article, we will explore the importance of selecting the right garage door for your house and provide some valuable tips to guide you in the decision-making process.

Curb Appeal: Make a Lasting First Impression

Your garage door plays a crucial role in creating a lasting first impression of your home. It is one of the first things people notice when they approach your property. Therefore, it is essential to choose a garage door that complements the architectural style of your house and adds to its overall appeal.

Consider the architectural design and style of your home. If you have a traditional or classic house, a garage door with raised panels and a timeless design can add elegance and sophistication. On the other hand, if your home has a modern or contemporary style, a garage door with clean lines, minimalist design, and glass panel inserts can create a sleek and stylish look.

Color coordination is also important. Select a garage door color that harmonizes with the existing color palette of your home's exterior. You can choose a color that blends seamlessly with the façade or opt for a contrasting color that creates visual interest and adds a pop of personality.

Functionality: Convenience and Security

Beyond enhancing curb appeal, your garage door also serves a vital function in providing convenience and security for your home. When selecting a garage door, consider the following factors related to functionality:

Insulation: If your garage is attached to your house, consider choosing an insulated garage door. An insulated door helps to regulate the temperature inside the garage, keeping it cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This can have a positive impact on energy efficiency and reduce heating and cooling costs.

Material: Garage doors are available in various materials, including steel, wood, aluminum, and fiberglass. Each material has its advantages and considerations. Steel doors are durable, low-maintenance, and provide excellent security. Wood doors offer a natural and timeless appeal but require regular maintenance. Aluminum doors are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, while fiberglass doors are durable and can mimic the look of wood without the maintenance requirements.

Security Features: Your garage door should provide adequate security for your home and belongings. Look for features such as sturdy locks, tamper-resistant hinges, and a rolling code technology for the opener. Additionally, consider adding extra security measures such as motion sensor lights and a security system for your garage.

Ease of Use: Convenience is key when it comes to operating your garage door. Opt for a door with modern features like remote-controlled operation, keypad entry, and smart home integration. These features make it easier to open and close your garage door and provide added convenience for your daily routine.

Professional Installation: Ensuring Safety and Efficiency

Once you have chosen the right garage door for your house, it is crucial to have it professionally installed. Garage door installation requires specialized skills and knowledge to ensure safety, proper operation, and optimal performance.

Hiring a professional garage door installation company will ensure that the door is installed correctly, with precise measurements and proper alignment. They will also ensure that all safety features are in place and functioning correctly, minimizing the risk of accidents or malfunctions.

Additionally, professional installation saves you time and effort. Garage door installation can be a complex process, involving heavy lifting and intricate adjustments. By relying on experts, you can avoid potential pitfalls and enjoy a hassle-free experience.

Maintenance and Care: Prolonging the Lifespan of Your Garage Door

To keep your garage door in optimal condition and prolong its lifespan, regular maintenance is essential. Here are a few maintenance tips:

Lubrication: Regularly lubricate the moving parts of your garage door, such as hinges, rollers, and tracks, to ensure smooth operation.

Inspection: Inspect your garage door periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Check for loose hardware, frayed cables, or misaligned tracks, and address any issues promptly.

Cleaning: Clean your garage door regularly to remove dirt, debris, and corrosive substances. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the surface.

Weatherstripping: Replace worn-out weatherstripping to maintain proper insulation and prevent drafts, water infiltration, and pests from entering your garage.

By following these maintenance practices, you can extend the lifespan of your garage door and ensure its reliable performance for years to come.

Choosing the right garage door for your house is crucial for enhancing curb appeal, functionality, and security. Consider the architectural style, color coordination, insulation, materials, and security features when making your selection. Professional installation and regular maintenance will ensure proper operation and prolong the lifespan of your garage door. With careful consideration and attention to detail, you can find the perfect garage door that complements your house and adds value to your home.

Renovating your kitchen can be an exhilarating yet daunting task. It’s the heart of your home, where culinary https://open.substack.com/pub/santonzmms/p/your-complete-resource-for-emergency?r=5p6j5c&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true masterpieces and family gatherings come to life. However, one crucial aspect that often goes unnoticed during a kitchen renovation is plumbing. Whether you're updating your sink, installing new fixtures, or completely redesigning your layout, understanding the plumbing essentials is vital for a successful transformation.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover essential plumbing tips curated by the experts at Prema Plumbing Putney. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge necessary to navigate your renovation smoothly while highlighting our top-notch plumbing services available in Putney, London.

Understanding Your Kitchen Plumbing Layout What Is a Kitchen Plumbing Layout?

The kitchen plumbing layout refers to the arrangement of pipes, drainage systems, and fixtures that make up your kitchen’s water supply and waste management system. Understanding this layout will help you plan your renovations better and avoid costly mistakes.

Why Is It Important?

Knowing your kitchen's plumbing layout helps you identify:

Existing issues: Uncover hidden leaks or faulty pipes. Future changes: Assess how changes will affect water flow and drainage. Compliance: Ensure all renovations meet local building codes. Assessing Existing Plumbing Systems Inspecting Old Pipes

Before diving into renovations, inspect your existing pipes. Are they rusted or corroded? If so, they may need replacement. Older homes often have galvanized pipes that could lead to water quality issues.

Checking Drainage System Functionality

Make sure your current drainage system works efficiently. Slow drains can signal blockages that need addressing before new installations.

Choosing the Right Fixtures Selecting Sinks and Faucets

Choosing the right sink and faucet is crucial for both aesthetics and functionality. Consider factors such as size, style, and materials when making your selection.

Popular Sink Materials: Stainless Steel Porcelain Composite Cast Iron Faucet Types: Pull-down faucets Touchless faucets Standard faucets Planning for Water Filtration Systems

If you’re keen on clean drinking water, consider incorporating a water filtration system into your kitchen design.

Understanding Water Supply Lines What Are Water Supply Lines?

Water supply lines are pipes that deliver fresh water to various fixtures in your kitchen. They come in different materials including PEX, copper, and PVC.

Importance of Proper Sizing

Ensure that the supply lines are adequately sized for your fixtures to prevent low water pressure or leaks. Consult with professionals from Prema Plumbing Putney for expert advice on sizing.

Can Standing Seam Metal Roofing Be Installed Over Existing Shingles?

When it comes to durable, long-lasting roofing options, Standing Seam Metal Roofing is one of the most sought-after solutions for homeowners in Garrettsville, OH. Its sleek design, superior weather resistance, and low maintenance requirements make it a favorite for those looking to upgrade their roof. But one common question homeowners ask is: Can standing seam metal roofing be installed over existing shingles? The short answer is yes—with the right preparation and expertise.

Understanding Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Before diving into how installation works, it's helpful to know what makes standing seam metal roofing unique. This system uses vertical metal panels with elevated seams that interlock, concealing the fasteners for a clean, secure finish. Its structure provides excellent resistance to harsh weather—an important feature for homes in northeast Ohio, where conditions like heavy snow, rain, and high winds are frequent.

Homeowners also love the aesthetic versatility of this roofing system. A standing seam metal roof black finish, for example, offers a modern, bold look that complements both contemporary and traditional home styles.

Installing Over Existing Shingles: Is It Possible?

Yes, in many cases, standing seam metal roofing can be installed directly over existing asphalt shingles—assuming local building codes allow it and the current roof is in good enough condition.

Here are a few factors to consider:

Roof Structure Condition: The underlying roof deck and framework need to be in good condition. It’s important to have a qualified professional assess the structure to ensure it can safely support the additional weight of the metal roofing panels.

Number of Shingle Layers: Most codes allow one layer of shingles beneath a new metal roof. If your roof has multiple layers, they may need to be removed.

Flat and Even Surface: The existing shingles need to be fairly smooth and level to prevent any unevenness from showing through the new metal roof panels. To ensure a clean, stable surface, many professional standing seam metal roofers add an underlayment or attach horizontal boards (known as purlins) before installing the metal roofing.

Ventilation Considerations: When installing over shingles, it's important to ensure proper attic ventilation is maintained. Otherwise, trapped moisture can lead to mold or reduced energy efficiency.

Benefits of Installing Metal Roofing Over Shingles

Installing metal roofing over shingles has several advantages:

Cost Savings: By avoiding a complete tear-off, you save on labor and disposal fees, reducing the overall standing seam metal roof cost.

Reduced Installation Time: Fewer steps mean your new roof can be installed faster.

Environmental Benefits: Keeping old shingles out of landfills is a more sustainable roofing option.

Professional Installation is Key

Although it’s technically feasible to install standing seam metal roofing over shingles, it’s not a DIY job. Precise installation is critical to avoid issues like leaks, rust, or wind damage. That’s why hiring experienced standing seam metal roofers is essential.

Working with local experts also ensures that your installation complies with building codes in Garrettsville, OH, and that you're choosing materials suited for the region’s climate.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of a standing seam metal roof depends on several factors, including the size of your home, the roof's layout, and the type of metal used. While the initial investment is typically higher than that of traditional shingles, homeowners in Garrettsville often find that the long-term benefits—such as durability, energy efficiency, and minimal maintenance—make it a worthwhile upgrade. These roofs are built to last for decades, often between 40 to 70 years, offering significant value over time.

Trust Pally Roofing for Expert Metal Roof Installation

As experienced standing seam metal roofers serving Garrettsville, OH, we understand the unique needs of local homes and weather patterns.

Copyright Registration in Mumbai: How a Lawyer Can Simplify the Process

In an age where digital content is produced and shared faster than ever, protecting intellectual property is no longer optional—it's essential. Whether you're a writer, designer, photographer, software developer, or content creator in Mumbai, your work deserves to be safeguarded from unauthorized use and duplication.

One of the most effective ways to protect your original work is through copyright registration in Mumbai. However, navigating the registration process can be tedious, especially for first-time applicants. That’s where working with experienced Copyright Lawyers in Mumbai makes a big difference.

Why Copyright Protection Matters

Copyright grants legal rights to the original creator of a work, ensuring that they—and only they—have control over how their creation is used, shared, or commercialized. From blog posts and software code to music and films, virtually every form of creative output can be protected under copyright law in India.

Without proper registration, proving ownership in a legal dispute becomes significantly harder. For Mumbai-based creators and entrepreneurs, registering a copyright provides both peace of mind and a legal edge in today’s fast-moving digital world.

The Basics of Copyright Registration in Mumbai

Registering a copyright in Mumbai involves submitting an application to the Copyright Office under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. You can file copyright in India for various categories, including:

Literary works (books, blogs, software)

Artistic works (logos, designs)

Musical works

Cinematographic films

Sound recordings

Dramatic works

The process can be done through the traditional paper route or more conveniently through copyright registration online.

Steps to Register Your Copyright Online

Here’s a general overview of the online process:

Prepare Your Work: Ensure your creation is finalized and in a tangible format.

Visit the Government Portal: Go to the official copyright registration website.

Fill the Application Form: Choose the right category for your work and fill out Form XIV.

Upload Supporting Documents: Submit identity proof, a copy of the work, and authorization if applicable.

Pay the Fee: The fee varies depending on the nature of the work and applicant category.

Track and Respond: Monitor application status and respond to any objections, if raised.

While the process might seem straightforward, each step involves legal and technical details that, if mishandled, can delay or derail your application. That’s why many creators choose to work with Copyright Lawyers in Mumbai to streamline the experience.

How Copyright Lawyers in Mumbai Can Help

Hiring a legal expert brings strategic clarity and saves time. Here’s how Copyright Lawyers in Mumbai simplify the registration process:

1. Proper Classification

Misclassifying your work can lead to rejection or limited protection. Lawyers help you correctly categorize your content under the right copyright class.

2. Document Accuracy

They ensure that all forms, declarations, and supporting documents are complete and accurate, reducing the chances of rejection or delay.

3. Dealing with Objections

If your application faces scrutiny or opposition, a lawyer can professionally handle responses and present your case effectively.

4. Legal Strategy

A lawyer doesn’t just help you register your copyright online—they can advise you on how to license, monetize, or defend your rights if infringement occurs.

5. Time Efficiency

Instead of spending weeks figuring out the legal jargon and documentation requirements, you can rely on professionals who’ve done it countless times.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When You File Copyright in India

Submitting incomplete forms

Choosing the wrong work category

Uploading low-quality or incorrect supporting documents

Not tracking the application status

Ignoring legal notices or objections from the copyright office

Avoiding these mistakes is easier when you work with someone who knows the system inside and out—another reason why working with legal professionals is worth the investment.

Conclusion

If you're a content creator, entrepreneur, or business owner in Mumbai, don’t leave your intellectual property unprotected. Copyright registration in Mumbai is a smart and necessary step to claim ownership and assert your rights.

While it's possible to register your copyright online on your own, collaborating with experienced Copyright Lawyers in Mumbai can simplify the process, reduce the chance of errors, and save valuable time.

Whether you're looking to file copyright in India for a single work or build a broader IP protection strategy, the right legal support makes all the difference.

How to Plan a Remodel? 

Thinking about remodeling your home? Whether it’s a sleek new kitchen, a spa-like bathroom, or an entire home makeover, planning a remodel is no small feat. There’s budgeting, designing, hiring professionals, and making sure your vision comes to life—all without blowing your savings or losing your mind.

If you’re a homeowner in Lake County, IL—whether you’re upgrading your home, flipping a property, or making accessibility modifications—here’s a structured yet practical approach to planning your remodel.

Step 1: Define Your Goals 

Before you start picking out tiles or debating paint colors, ask yourself: What do I actually want from this remodel?

Are you looking for a modern kitchen for entertaining guests?

Do you need to make your home more accessible for aging family members?

Are you renovating to increase resale value before selling?

Is this a passion project to turn your house into a dream home?

Your answer dictates everything—the budget, the timeline, and the professionals you’ll need. If you’re not sure, sit down with a local contractor like Waldron Construction to help refine your vision. They’ve seen it all and can guide you on what’s realistic.

Step 2: Set a Budget 

Remodeling isn’t cheap, and costs can sneak up fast. Setting a clear budget from the start is crucial.

Research costs: Kitchen remodels in Lake County, IL, typically range from $25,000 to $75,000. Bathrooms can run between $10,000 and $50,000, depending on the scope.

Prioritize: Focus your budget on areas that add the most value—high-traffic spaces like kitchens and bathrooms.

Expect surprises: Always, and I mean always, set aside at least 10-20% of your budget for unexpected costs (because something will come up).

Want a pro tip? Instead of maxing out your budget right away, get quotes from local remodeling specialists and see where you can save without sacrificing quality.

Step 3: Find the Right Professionals

Sure, you could DIY some of it, but unless you’re a seasoned contractor, some jobs are best left to the pros.

Who You Might Need:

General Contractor: Oversees the entire project and hires subcontractors.

Architect: If you're doing structural changes or an addition.

Interior Designer: Helps with aesthetics and functionality.

Plumber/Electrician: If you're moving water lines or rewiring.

For homeowners in Lake County, Waldron Construction is a trusted local expert in kitchen, bathroom, and new home construction. They handle everything—from permits to final touches—so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors.

Step 4: Plan the Timeline 

How long will your remodel take? Well, that depends.

Small bathroom updates? 2-3 weeks.

Kitchen remodel? 4-12 weeks.

Whole-house renovation? 3-6 months.

Keep in mind, delays happen—permits take time, materials can be backordered, and unexpected issues (like hidden water damage) can push things back. If you’re on a tight schedule (say, you want it done before the holidays), communicate that upfront with your contractor.

Step 5: Get the Permits 

Lake County has strict building codes, and skipping permits can lead to costly fines—or worse, having to redo work.

Structural changes? Permit needed.

Electrical or plumbing updates? Permit needed.

New windows or doors? Yep, still might need a permit.

A reliable contractor will handle this for you, but if you’re DIY-ing part of your remodel, check with your local building department.

Step 6: Make Design Decisions Early 

Picking materials is fun… until you realize your dream countertops are on a 12-week backorder. To avoid project delays:

Choose finishes early. Cabinets, flooring, fixtures—get them ordered ASAP.

Go for durability. If you have kids or rent out your property, opt for low-maintenance materials.

Think long-term. That trendy backsplash might be in now, but will it still look good in 10 years?

Lake County homeowners looking for high-end finishes should work with experienced remodelers who can guide them to timeless choices—Waldron Construction can help with this.

Step 7: Prepare for Living Through a Remodel 

If you’re renovating a kitchen, where will you cook? If your bathroom is under construction, what’s Plan B?

Set up a temporary kitchen. A microwave and coffee maker can go a long way.

Plan for noise and dust. If you work from home, you might need to escape to a coffee shop.

If it’s a major remodel, consider moving out. Renting a short-term place could save your sanity.

Step 8: Keep an Eye on Progress 

Once work starts, regular check-ins are key. Visit the site, ask questions, and communicate with your contractor.

Things to watch for:

Are materials arriving on time?

Are the workers showing up as scheduled?

Does the work match the agreed design?

That said, avoid hovering. Trust your professionals—they do this every day.

Step 9: Inspections & Final Walkthrough

Before you pop the champagne, do a final walkthrough with your contractor.

Check everything. Turn on faucets, open cabinets, inspect paintwork.

Make a list of touch-ups. Any issues should be fixed before making the final payment.

Get warranty details. Many contractors (including Waldron Construction) offer guarantees on their work.

Step 10: Enjoy Your New Space 

Your remodel is done—congrats! Now, a little maintenance will keep things looking brand new:

For kitchens: Reseal countertops yearly and clean grout regularly.

For bathrooms: Use proper ventilation to prevent mold.

For entire homes: Inspect plumbing and electrical work annually.

A quality remodel should last decades, but proper care ensures you get the most out of your investment.
