Question:

My smoke detector keeps beeping! How do I fix it?

It makes a high pitch beep once every minute, we have changed the battery, but it still does it! What is going on? It's so annoying!

Answer:

I would put down a rubber membrane roof. First you lay down a layer of fiber board called traffic top in some place, This is screwed down with holding plates (octagon shaped pieces of metal about 4 inches across). Then you lay the membrane on top of that and secure the edges. Rubber roofing comes in 2 thickness. It generally comes in 2 widths, 10' and 20' and the length can be custom ordered or in set lengths depending upon your supplier. The edges of the roof are generally secure4d with termination bars. They are 10' in length with holes for screws. The screws should come with a rubber washer attached. If you need to make a seam in the membrane make sure you buy the right stuff - not rubber cement. It is very similar but it is formulated for the rubber membrane. You will also need to buy some cleaner if you are making seams. Also make sure you do not repeat do not use any tar or petroleum based sealers as this will deteriorate the rubber. They make a special material for this and will say on the label it is for rubber roofs.
Sure- you can teach your child how to safely handle Kenny Gbut as soon as an album is loaded with explosive powder and used to kill people, maybe you should put it on the shelf so it's not in the hands of a child.
