Raw WeldA raw (prior to rust painting) weld. The 3.2 mm thick electrode rods are used (as opposed to the 2.6 mm variety) for a heavy duty weld. All welds should be inspected when ever possible. dozerSep 27, 2011

Galvanized Sheeting for Roof ValleyMost of the problems with CPAC concrete roof tiles come from inadequate valley material or poorly done ridges. It is easy to get the wrong stuff, just go to any supply store and ask for the valley material that everyone uses. This is the 1 meter wide material, formed in the center for water run-off, roofs with this as valley material (properly installed) don't have problems. dozerSep 27, 2011

CPAC Monier Roof TilesThe CPAC Monier roof tiles being laid in place. These tiles are basically dummy proof, except at the valley and ridges. dozerSep 27, 2011

Properly Installed Bird StopThis bird stop has about the right clearance, a snug fit is required or otherwise you will get unwanted entry points. dozerSep 27, 2011

Ridges Laid in PlaceThe ridge tiles are laid in place over a waterproofed (via Sika) concrete mix. Note that the exposed concrete will still need to be treated with a exterior coat of waterproofing agent. The other method is dry tech, which is not used here. dozerSep 27, 2011
