Has anyone ever used metal roofing as a retaining wall?

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008
TXPegSue asked:

We are using T-posts every 8 feet and running 2 rows of 1×4’s to attach the roofing to. I mostly wondered how the metal roofing would hold up to the elements underground or with dirt building up on one side of it. What do you think?

my house was built 1890. The original wooden shingles were still under 9 layers of roofing material. the decking is Oak but the decking has spaces in between the wood planks that you can plase your fingers between in the attic. I was suprised to come home on leave and find that I could touch the 3 tab shingles from inside the attic I an concerned that a storm could blow just one shingle off an I would have a flood. I am in Iraq in the Army this happened while I was deployed. I also want to know is there any legal action I can take this home is in CADIZ ky. and is listed on the historic society

What is the minimum noise level criteria for a metal roofed garage in a residential neighborhood?

Monday, March 3rd, 2008
skahhh asked:

My neighbor installed metal roofing on her garage next to my house, within 10 feet of the side of my house(legal setback) in my area, no problem there…..but the roof snaps all day in weather temperature change swings and it is quite annoying. What should I do? I don’t want to be a pest, but it really racks my brain. Sounds like somebody throwing stones at her roof or acorns when the come off a tree onto a metal roof! Bang…..bang …..bang…..nerve racking

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008
farking_man asked:

I’m shingling my Shed which covers 12′ x 13′ of shingles. I heard cutting them with a knife is the fastest. I don’t want to spend a fortune on it either.
