I have a roof that I want to get some work done on but I'm confused as to how many types of standard roofing projects exist. My roof doesn't have any structural issues, leaks or problems that I know of at this time. Howver I think it was patched at some point because there are some shingles that are of a different color. I have heard so many different types of roofing work that I am confused? What are the different ways that a roof is worked on and how do different roofing projects differ from each other (longevity, cost, time frame for work)?

I know how to fix it from other drywall projects but I can never get the "bumpy" texture that the walls of my house all have, so the smooth sanded repair spot sticks out even though the drywall is perfectly applied. The rest of the walls in the house all look like they have goosebumps, just a slight bumpiness covering all the walls. How can I make the repaired spot look like that?

I was rear-ended at high speed by an uninsured motorist driving a late-model Cadillac; conventional wisdom is that it's pointless to sue someone who can't afford insurance, but given that he was driving a luxury car I suspect the guy has the resources to pay for destroying my '94 Del Sol which I value at around $3000. Law & Ethics - 6 Answers - 2007-06-29 17:27:00 Why 3 coats of DRYWALL COMPOUND for inside corners? Hi All, Ok, 1st the situation: I'm re-painting my mother's living-room. The house itself is approx. 80 years old & the drywall was re-done maybe 30 to 40 years ago. The walls appear to be chip-rock(I pretty sure of this because when I took off the wall socket wall plates I could see the inside of the wall where the cuts for the sockets made. That & I've done the odd repair for her here & there over the years & "CGC" drywall compound has worked fine) Anyway, the walls were wall papered 2 times over the original & then at one time or another my mom painted over the wall paper. I managed to get all that off (steamers are a wonderful thing:-) ) & now I'm down to the bare walls with some spots that need repairing. for small repairs I've used one drywall compound or another using only 2 coats. Problem this time is I have to repair most of the "inside corners" of the living-room & every where I look on the web I'm told I need to use at least 3 coats. So why is this a problem you ask? Well my mom is having a big family shin-dig & what's the living-room finished yesterday! So my question is: Do I really need 3 drywall compound coats for the inside corners or can I get away with only 2 coats? Here's what I have to work with (& no, I can't buy anything more unfortunately): 1: "CGC" drywall Compound that takes 24hrs. to dry per coat. 2: "CGC" SheetRock 20 Fast Drying Compound powder. Needs to be mixed. (which drys in 15 to 20 min.s so I can only use a small amount for 10 min.s @ a time) Oh, & it takes 24hr.s to cure. Only advantage is I can do multiple coats in 10 min. intervals, but that will take for ever.(i.e.: mix 10 min.s of puttying, then mix, etc...) 3: I have all the tools I need. (i.e.: several different putty knifes, etc...) 4: And of course I have enough "drywall mesh adhesive tape" + "Drywall creased paper" to do 2 living rooms. So does anyone know if I really need 3 drywall compound coats for the inside corners or can I get away with only 2 coats? & if I do need 3 coats, can anyone tell me why?

Who is up to this? A DA in my home county is incompetent, lazy, and misguided. I want to sue him personally and/or the state if possible for his failure to follow the rules of the Victims Bill of Rights and possibly the rules on Criminal Procedure. He and his office made mistakes, did not follow procedure, and has failed/refused to follow up on other items--some of which are felonies where he should not have this discretion. Who is up for this job? Where can I look or find such a person for this job? Law & Ethics - 2 Answers - 2006-06-01 06:51:55 Paranoid or Woman's intuition... Older woman, younger man relationship..?? I am in a relationship with a guy 10 years my junior, he was with his child's mother when we met... I just didn't know it... he told me after 5 months, saying that he was falling in love with me and wanted to be honest, end the relationship with the child's mother, and build a stronger relationship with me.... so after 8 months of things going so so, I am still thinking about the relationship he had with the child mother...I feel jealous, and I keep thinking that they are sneaking around, he has giving me no reason to think this, I just keep having these uneasy feelings, based on experience and being an older woman, because the child is still really young...he told me that he cant keep dealing with my suspicions... do you think I'm paranoid and insecure, or is this my woman's intuition kicking in trying to give me a warning..?? I am thinking about just ending the relationship to keep from going crazy, what has been your experience ?
