  1. ..the 2nds rushed in with the water bottles just as it flared up again...555
  2. if it's a very slow leak, i would first replace the valve with a good quality or original as the valve rubber sleeve can and do leak..worth a try!
  3. by her an egg-timer, you obviously went into overtime.
  4. try 29 psi in both your tires..it made a world of difference to me at low speeds.
  5. he should have changed his name after the 2nd amputation.
  6. The Pentagon should paint red and white rings on the roof and be done with it.
  7. Thanks for all that. Im sure my Valley troughs are the correct size, going by my visual estimation. The house is now 10yrs old and through lack of cleaning out the troughs thoroughly (one would think small oval leaves would simply be flushed away); however over the years a lot of these leaves rotted and formed clumps which accumulated under the cut tiles on either side of the trough. The troughs appeared clean/clear. Over time these blockages could not cope with the torrntial downpours we experience and the storm water overflowed at these points and dripped/splashed onto the eave lining below. I now have a few good ideas to pursue thanks to you people. Thankyou everyone.
  8. Thnx..i put the 50cm steel sheet horizontally under th4e edges of the first two rows of the tiles wrongly thinking the water was backing up from the flattish surface the roof discharges onto. Re the the Valley gutter, it was filling up with small leaves which were rotting down, compacting and over time blocking the Valley gutter. I will try opening the gap a little and try this fine mesh over the top, if that doesn't fix the issue i will modify the Valley Gutter as suggested by @carlyai. Thanks for the advice.
  9. a family relative buily my house but the roof was subbed out, ican't complain as my responsibility to clean the valleys and gutters which i do each year but the small elongated Monkeypod tree leaves break down and compat inside the gaps between the tiles and the metal valley gutter..couldn't see it happening until too late, and with these rain storms it all happens. Thanks again for your input and i daresay that is the only solution.
  10. I already have a roll of mesh, but i will suss out the plastic leaf guards..thanks.
  11. so other than that Thailand is pretty good..yes!
  12. it's all what you describe and much more, is what keeps you alert and planning your next move; i think without this you will surely slip into depression and senility. Try relocating near the ocean or the mountains where the pace is less hectic before you pull the pin. Just trying to help.
  13. No..only to stop the leaves building up and clogging up the valley gutter. (I will lay the mesh over the top of the roof..worth a try).
  14. Thanks. Yes i too have Valley gutters, but they are quite shallow and really should have been much deeper. I think i will lay a strip of fine meshed stainless steel wire over the top of the tiles and tuck it under the tiles to secure it.
  15. yes the valley is vey shallow. Did you have to modify the roof frame (underlayment) or just replaced the gutter with a deeper one; if so do you recall how deep? I think i will lay a long strip of fine meshed stainless steel wire over the top of the valley and tuck it under the tiles to secure it; the whole length of the valley Thanks for your reply.
  16. I have a Monier cement tiled roof. I am getting staining in my eave lining. With torrential rain this shallow gutter just cannot cope and overflows into the roof space. The other issue are dead leaves blown from surrounding large trees which block the Valley even though the cut tiles are fairly close together. My question, is there some way i can seal the Valley so the rain runs over the top and the leaves don't compact under the roof tiles in the Valley. Here is a photo of the main problem Valley. As you can see it is a long Valley. (i had thought of inserting a gutter under the tiles at half distance). I have placed a 50cm wide metal strip under the first two rows of tiles, to no effect. Thank you for any constructive advice.
  17. Climb up into the roof space and carefully check along the ridges, In most cases you will see sunlight where the water is getting in. Just a thought. Good luck.
  18. you can just front up on the day, get a queue number, get your documents checked, go inside to C5 and wait.
  19. reckon he rode round for hours unable to find the destination.
