thought of day
Posted by jaybeacham on 31 May 2009 | Tagged as: blog
My thought for the day: Most of the social sites want to know your mood or thought at the present moment. It reminded me of the sensitivity classes of earlier years. In one such forced college class, a young man named Lance was a bike enthusiast. We were to tell what we were thinking or feeling at the moment and Lance told about his thoughts of how to better break a ten speed bike by aligning the brake pad to go on the rubber of the tire so as to stop in wet weather. The moderator harangued him for not following the rules of telling what was on his mind at the moment. But that was what he was thinking about. Great people think of ideas not people or feelings. I think Lance was using his mental capacity to good advantage by creatively thinking. Wish I could do that more.
tip of the day

Today the wind blew hard and a neighbors shingles sustained a little damage.
When I got onto the roof to nail and glue tabs back on, I came across a place where the shingles hadn’t originally been nailed on. That’s not the way to get them to stay on. And also the cellophane strip that is put on backs of shingles to prevent sticking while in the bundle had been left on and guess what, prevented the shingles from sticking while on the roof where you want them to stick together. Two stripes had been torn loose and were flapping in the wind from under the edges of the shingles.
Tip: When you put your shingles on, stop and remove that cellophane strip from the backs first. Oh, and remember to nail all the shingles down, four nails along the glue strip on the top side of the shingle before you put another one over it.
A little extra time during installation will save you a lot of headaches later on.

tabs-the tip for the day
Posted by jaybeacham on 29 May 2009 | Tagged as: blog
Only worked on one roof today. The wind had blown a tab or two up but they were still attached. Over time the glue strips don’t hold any more due to age, the cold, dirt blowing under them and the wind flaps them and sometimes takes them off. If your roof is hit by the wind and some of your shingle tabs hit the ground, pick them up and save them to be re-glued back on. This can be done with caulking or better yet with roof cement. Why save the old tabs? Because its not the whole shingle, just the tabs,one or more, and trying to match your old shingles with new will be difficult as to size and color. This wouldn’t be a problem if you were going to re-shingle but that wouldn’t make sense when just a few tabs are folded up or off. New nails should be added too where needed.
Tip of the day on facebook

Jay Beacham In my day job today I worked on a swamp cooler. It needs to be cleaned and have new pads. That’s a once or twice and sometimes in St. George, with the dissolved gypsum from Quail Lake, more often, job. You need clean pads so that you aren’t breathing moldy and otherwise unhealthy cool air.

Selling info. some thoughts
Posted by jaybeacham on 24 May 2009 | Tagged as: blog
I was thinking that I could get a large amount of money in a short time by selling info. online in a webinar or workshop. But what do I know better than others and who would need this info and be willing to pay for it? Most of the things I’ve seen sell only fluff and at an inflated price. The originator sets a value, gives a discount, and makes one believe they are getting a good deal.
Now my idea is to let the customer set the value themselves. “What’s it worth to you?” Some times they won’t give what you would like but would that not be a more honest way to do business?
