My thought exactly (retired builder) 😀

Lmao ok

thank you. I'm not a slow reader either. just a lousy typer🤣

Sometimes videos are made and edited to where it's easier to just pause the video to read the subtitles then continue on. I do it for a lot of videos just so I don't miss out on the visual part while reading subtitles

I'm a fast reader, and I cannot keep up with this video. It's tedious to have to keep stopping the video.

Sorry, but you're not as fast a reader as you think if you can't keep up with this.

It's definitely a speed readers nightmare lol so much pausing

A gravity pump doesnt need any power at all! None!

RE: The "Ember-S-Guard" roof sprinkler system. My comments considering this are derived from the information/picture & assumptions made in the segment & are the product of 15 years as an officer & chief on a rual VFD. Training & certification by the US Navy Damage Control & Fire Fighting School, 2 state fire colleges & 10 years as a nationally registered wildlands fire fighter. (Now retired) My thoughts/comments are solely my own. Unless you are able & prepared to develope & maintain your own water storage & distribution system then I see more issues with this system than practicality. That's before I even consider the expense of purchase, logistics of storage & deployment. I tried this idea 1 summer decades ago to hopefully reduce my summer elect bill. After 1 month it was obvious that any reduction in the elect bill was more than offset by the increase in the water bill. Regardless I tried it for 2 months before switching to putting the water w/ some fertilizer on the trees that now shade the roof. I have no intention of discussing the problematic use of what appears to be commercially available residential sprinkler heads in fire fighting. It can be done with limited success in a pinch by people trained to fight fires effectively so long as they are actively controlling the nozzle & flow rate. Lets start with the issues of putting a portable suppression system in service. It can take from 15-20 minutes or as long as an hour or two depending on complexities. My assumption is that most would not want the system permanently mounted and subjected to the abuses of Mother Nature and various birds year around. Your need for testing & maintenance would double. (Or should.) 1st Issue, You have to be available when the time comes to deploy the system. Assuming a best case scenario, you are home at the time the order to evacuate is issued, you have 1 or more people to help & you've inspected & practiced the steps 2 or more times a year and you can setup and initiate the system in 45 minutes or less. Do you take the time to inspect your system for leaks & optimal operation or do you evacuate ASAP in an effort to not become a fatality statistic? Or do you stick around long enough to be sure whatever methods your neighbors employ does not reduce the water pressure & degrade your system & thus increase your chances of becoming a statistic? The worst case example to this scenario is the Camp Fire that wiped out Paradise California killing 84 or 5 people. Most of the residents had less than 2 hours to evacuate with many of the survivors that took more than an hour to do so being trapped inside the hot zone for hours. 2nd Issue, un-monitored suppression systems begin draining resources from the water main immedatly upon activation & reduce what's available to the fire fighters trying to mount an effective offense or defense plan. If they are worried about their available resources & aware of your system they will turn it off & render your efforts & expenses nothing more than wasted time. While I'm not an advocate of cutting down all of mother nature I am an advocate of fire proof building materials and methods. Includeing all out buildings like storage sheds and shops. FYI, those expensive underground survival bunkers still rely on breathable outside air. Don't be the one that survived the heat only to die from smoke inhalation. Plan, prepare and practice in advance so that when the order comes you don't have to even think about it. Just Run MF, RUN!😉

I made similar concept to make a roof evaporator system that sprays a fine mist across the roof when the attic temp exceeds 120 degrees. Without if the attic temp in the summer reached 140 degrees.

Tin Roof...problem solved

@@squirrelcovers6340 Yeah, tin roofing is great. At masking the fact that the convected heat has set the inside of the house on fire. It's somewhat more complicated than just nailing tin over some asphalt shingles or wood firing strips. And It's still considerably more expensive than the shingles when done correctly.

youtube blowhards... unite!

and you'll resist the urge to be a typical youtube blowhard by pointing it out

I wonder if it would help?

@@Riverrockphotos can't tell much from a pic

When I was a kid in Mississippi, I would spray the roof during on some hot days, it was the only thing that would cool down the house and it would cool it quickly and good!

NO one should buy that unless they have a shake shingle roof. Asphalt shingles won't burn

@@mikeforster8798 At 60-80mph embers get in every crack or space in your roof. And the places where leaves pile up around your house in little whirlwinds turn into fire tornadoes that act like blow torches.

Spend hundreds of thousands for a move and a new home to avoid a $200 blower? Ingenious!

it's the last item in this video. You didn't watch the whole thing. It's also extremely useless.

Only someone stupid enough to use a 4x4 on a floor jack would also be stupid enough to tie live wires together.

now go get a "headcache" learning how to spell "protection".
