you're probably right.
even the pyramids are not expected to last one geologic minute, or one astronomic second.

Had they our climate & rainfall, not sure how those would look like today.[emoji848]

As w/ metals, aluminum is a contact conductor. Unlike other metals, it has great reflective properties.
Try this experiment, doc. Bake Spam in the toaster on a layer of foil. After 20mins on high, bet you can't touch the Spam but the foil, you can.[emoji4]

in retrospect,
maybe that is the reason why they decided to build their monuments to themselves, there.
to avoid them from being swept away into the sands of time.

Might be worth exploring, selling this roofing material to the well off.

I also had this silly idea of installing a sprinkler system on the roof to cool it off.

Naalala ko pala sa isang beach resort, modern concrete ang mga buildings at cottages, pero naka traditional nipa/cogon ang roof. Hindi mainit. Tapo sa labas naka secure ng parang kulambo net para matagal malagas. Gaano kaya ka permanent ito? May palitan ba iyan ng nipa/cogon after XX years?

Tapos sa bawat tuktok ng roof, may sprinklers. Hindi ko sure kung para sa hindi gaanong matuyo ang roofing materials. Ang sabi ng staff ay para daw sa fire prevention sakaling tamaan ng kidlat.

[Papajamba]

Can anyone make a suggestion? Yung 2nd floor namin is concrete slab yung roof at wall. Now one side of the wall and the roof is absorbing too much heat during day time. Ang resulta mainit sa 2nd floor. I can really feel the temp changing pag umakyat na ko. I thought of putting an air condition on the rooms but it may be half as efficient kung ganito kainit.

We are planning to put a lot 3rd floor this may shield the 2nd floor roof from heat, yung wall na lang ang problem on what we can do so it wouldn't absorb heat so much.

Also the 3rd floor roof, what can we do so it wouldn't absorb heat too and end up with same problem.

Is it just me or is the house from the outside looks like a mausoleum?

It does If I didn't know that it was a house, that's what I would think too

if the structure were bigger, it would look like the usual municipio.
but as its size is considerably smaller, it does look like a mosoleo.
to me, mosoleos are the usual architecture, but on a much smaller footprint.

Problem din namin yung slab concrete roof namin na tumatagos ang tubig. We already put a lot into it. Fiber glass na yun? Ilalatag sa roof and tutunawin, also yung parang black tar na naka roll, latag din sa roof and tutunawin. Pero we still have leaks.

Then nung nagagawa father in law ko ng roof nila na concrete slab din, nilagyan nila ng yero na palaman sa loob ng concrete mismo. I wish we knew that bago kami nagpa gawa.

We are planning on adding 3rd floor and we will apply that on the 3rd floor roof.

Bro. check out membrane waterproofing. We have this for our approx 60sqm balcony which also is our roof for our rides, and thankfully, after more than 15 years, no leak...

Be wary though of seepage under the membrane...

Thinking about your experience, baka seepage under your waterproofing material?

yun din naisip ko bro, baka yun pipes for drain doon naka sandwich

[papi smith]

I think he already used membrane, bituminous membrane, accdg to him gumamit na sya ng sinusunog, and I think ito yun. I also used bituminous on my roof which has a poor slope, ang tulo nanggaling sa crack sa concrete wall, going past the bitumen. I used Henkel's Sista, paintable waterproofing, to seal the cracks

Yes, I think seapage nga, iniisip ko sa mga kanto baka hindi fully covered yung kanto. Yung tubig kasi na pumapasok sa bahay eh hindi naman tulo from the roof eh. Parang katas from wall.

Yes, I remember buying something called bitumen, yan yata yung ginagamit sa asphalt? Also something called fiber glass pero white sya na nilalatag at sinusunog.

bitumen. asphalt.
we tried that, too.
whether it was poor application or whatever,
ours leaked again, after some time.

Malamang poor application, maybe we really need the application supervised. Mahirap ang "Pwede na" sa roof as minor imperfection makes the whole thing worthless.

Yes, leak was something like katas....

Bro - to share my experience, we flooded the balcony for a couple of days, no leak.

Then after a few days of rain, traces of leak appeared, so we removed the cement and the membrane, redid the construction and we flooded the balcony again - no leak.

Then it rained again - there was leak again, and so we put waterproofing material on the side wall of the balcony, the one adjacent to the rain drain of my neighbor... No more leak after that....

Thanks for the tip. Balak namin lagyan na ng roof 3rd floor and address the side walls, mukhanh side walls nga problema. Katabi kasi namin yung bahay ng in laws and naka slope papunta sa min ung roof nila. I think we need to add waterproofing din sa side na yun.

OK na sa kin seapage sa wall, wag lang bunabaha sa 2nd floor, delikado sa electronics.
