The truth about ICE DAMS

Roofing Aid — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:35:59 +0000

ICE dams are not always natural occurrences caused by freezing weather. Ice dams are the cause of interior heat loss known as thermal or air bypass to attic spaces that permit micro-melts or uneven snow melts that freeze at the cold gutter, soffit, or overhang locations. Basement negative pressure and upper floor thermal bypass corrections usually minimize the ice dam phenomenon. Ice guard, gutter melting cords, and gutter caps contraptions are only bandages.

Metro Ministries (Baltimore)

Roofing Aid — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:25:59 +0000

For over 9 years, Metro Ministries has been bringing compassion and hope to the front lines of desolation and destruction. It takes an immense amount of unconditional love, perseverance, and sacrifice to establish a base where volunteers can gather resources, prepare, train, and debrief for the purpose of conducting warfare in this hostile environment. No weapon is furnished for this warfare. Metro Ministries utilizes smiles, meals, tears, home visits, seminars, community outreach, and hugs in fighting these battles. One of the main programs here is the children and youth program, 100-120 kids come through the door one night a week, to be mentored, discipled and loved. Most of these kids live in conditions you could never imagine. What the volunteers of the MetroKidz program offer these kids is a sense of hope, a sense of love and a chance to know there is something better waiting for them. The key to our success at making a difference in such an area of destruction is the sincerity of love for a down cast people, thrown away, and avoided by the masses of our society. There is nothing different about these people compared to those in Haiti, Sudan, Nicaragua, El Salvador, or anywhere else in the world where disaster, disease, famine, and poverty have made ruins. If there were a difference it isn’t in the people, it is the society. Third world countries have no hope. Metro Ministries is a facility where those who are making an attempt to pick themselves up… who choose to …

An Update From Shushi: Hand-in-Hand March 2011 English Edition

Roofing Aid — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:15:59 +0000

In this month’s Hand-In-Hand Update we highlight a number of critical projects in Shushi that we’ve been working on since the 2009 “Our Shushi” Armenia Fund telethon. Once the educational and cultural hub of Artsakh, Shushi was all but destroyed during the Artsakh Liberation struggle. As such, it was of utmost importance that we immediately begin work to rebuild the city and revive its cultural prominence. Thus far, we’ve completely repaved three of the Shushi’s five major roads–Aram Manoukian, Garegin Njdeh, and Ghazanchetsots–while simultaneously laying new water pipes throughout the city to guarantee regular access to clean drinking water to up to 80 percent of Shushi’s inhabitants. Our construction crews have also been busy re-roofing 12 multi-story apartment buildings that house 200 families working to finish renovations on the Shushi Cultural Center and the Shushi Abovian School. We’re also in the process of rebuilding the Shushi Vocational School, which will provide training in construction and crafts related skills, such as construction, welding, mechanical repair, etc. And if you haven’t heard the good news yet, we just finished rebuilding the Shushi Central Library. You can read about that project here. ow.ly
