Why do houses in places that get heavy rains have sloping roof?
A sloped roof allows water to flow go off the roof. Otherwise, the accumulation of rain water on a roof and its weight could exceed the ability of the roof to support it and might collapse the roof. The accumulation of water would also decrease the ability of the covering material to keep water out of the inside of the structure.
Why is roofing insulation necessary?
Because you are losing 25% of your heat through there! (un-doubleglaxed windows lose 10%, un-insulated cavity walls lose 35%) The current regulation is 10inches (250mm) although new builds are having 12inches put in. Basically, it's to save you money and to save the environment. An uninsulated roof is such a waste of energy and resources. If you have it insulated, your home will heat up quicker and when the heating switches off the heat takes longer to dissipate too. It also makes the upstairs cooler in the summer as the heat from the sun on the rooftiles stays in the loft and doesnt pass through the insulation thus you can sleep better. It works both ways. Clever stuff. in an easyer form Because you lose 25% of heat from your house you need roof insulation! We use insulation to save money and the environment.

Antifreeze is leaking on a 1999 Catera and 3 mechanics have not been able to find the source What could cause this?
1) If the oil cooler is leaking, it could be going into the oil. Check inside the oil filler neck for "cream". 2) The oil cooler cover could be leaking. If coolant leaks from there, it hits the exhaust manifold and burns off before hitting the ground. 3) Best idea: Get a bottle of commercial auto leak tracer dye. Leaks stick out like neon under a UV light.
