Best Answer

Many tile roof systems are constructed of inferior grade, poorly fitting tiles. The openings at the ends of the tiles, along the roof edges, and along the drainage valleys typically are left open. The result is that it is not uncommon for there to be multiple holes and crevices that permit rats to make their way beneath the tiles and onto the roof decking. Imperfections in the decking installation or openings made for Plumbing vents generally provide the means for rats to make their way into the structure. Because tile roof systems typically have multiple openings across the roof surface and each such opening must be sealed to prevent rats from reaching the roof decking, the task of sealing the roof against penetration by rats requires painstaking attention to detail. A mortar seal must be accomplished at the end of each row of tiles and at the drainage valleys. Smaller cracks or crevices appearing between individual tiles must be sealed with an adhesive sealant.

What is the structure of cryovac film?

Cryovac is a registered trademark of the Sealed Air Corporation. Cryovac films are made up of multiple layers of plastics resins which are capable of preventing certain gases and/or moisture getting in or out of the sealed package. For example, oxygen reacts with meat to make it go off, so a Cryovac meat film, correctly used, will keep the oxygen out of the pack to extend the usable life of the meat and prevent wastage.

Would a barrel of whiskey float?

The specific gravity of whiskey is less than water (.924-.947), so the volume of whiskey itself would float in water. Given that the barrel is made of wood (and should float by itself), a sealed barrel full of whiskey should float.
