Tile

OS what time zone you in?

I recently bid an 80 square Ludowicci job for $174,000 reusing existing tile. I didn't get it. I don't like tile directly fastened to the sheeting (although on a 10/12 I would consider it) and bid for a counterbatten/batten system against bidders that were direct nailing the tile.

$200,000

Robert, give me a call 1 269-381-6382. I will be up for a bit yet. Lots of variables. Old School

Egg, The Single Roman I grew so familiar with in my pre managerial life is no smaller than the double. It just has one hump instead of two.

We use a small 6x10 clay tile back home. You can run'em quick with every third course a kicker to facilitate repair down the road and the end result is real easy on the eye. Never seen them here.

Too much...a clay mechanical tile with a broad, flat pan section. (take-off on the roman pan with standard cover) That's what Monier was doing with its 'Roma' tile. Funny thing is you aren't going to get anything BUT a 'double' out of mechanical tile like that. Just imagine how small and goofy a 'single' would be.

Thanks woody . I'll be able to use this site , great link B) :) :) B)

Here you go, a picture paints a thousand words. By the look of that lead step flashing the house is outside our borders.

Nice link, woody.

Jed, the lingo can drive anybody crazy. One man's mastic is another man's hydro-seal is another man's bull is another man's plastic cement. Everybody thinks they have it right and the others are goofy. Trying to translate the dialect on this one I get 'double' equals cap&pan, aka two-piece, (iow, not 's' aka one-piece) and then I get 'terra cotta' meaning clay, where 'burnt' terra cotta means dark from more intense firing, and Roman means flat on top with rectilinear angled sides as opposed to curved where the cross section of curved looks like a thumbnail and the cross section of roman looks like a bracket...wider and not curved. 'Barrel' tile refers to 2-pc. 'mission' in most cases, but when you have professionals referring to wood shingles as shakes and the lay population referring to asphalt shingles as tiles, you never know what you're gonna get. Like they say in the old poem, take nothing for granite.

westile is a Denver/Phoenix product. This is Denver's tile know-it-all.

You're gonna have to articulate Double Roman I reckon cos the only place I have heard that term is overseas. Here I think they say Barrel Tile...........Woody?

They do that alot here in LA Willie. Dimensionals with concrete ridge tile. I did think it was a bit weird when I first saw it, but it does'nt look half bad and it works......I guess..>>>

I replaced a tile roof with a shingle roof one time and the h/o wanted to reuse the concrete ridge tiles. I told him i dont recommend that but ok if thats what you want. Talk about looking like shiat! lol I plucked my yard sign up and took it with me when we drove off. lol>>>

I needed 564 of them. $25 ea would have covered breakage, gas, per diem, and incidentals...>>>

We always figure 25 each, that covers handling ans breakage.>>>
