🌱 🌎 🐄 & 👤(Aries!) for Jeff! (I'd love to know more about him!) 💙

Thank you so much! 💙

(Admittedly, one of these questions in particular took me a bit to answer...for reasons 🥹)

🌱 What's their basic information? Name, gender, age, that sort of thing

Answered here, but I can share something else 💙

Jeff's items & inventory:

(Note: this man is almost always over-encumbered, and nothing can change that, not even the ridiculous amount of carry weight boosters that he has on his person.)

💙 Armor pieces in desperate need of repair–everyone around him lets him know, rightfully so.

💙 Nukashine Beer Hat, which doesn't contain actual Nukashine.

💙 His signature Bottlecap Sunglasses

💙 Blue Ridge Caravan outfit–a wastelander recently offered him 20k caps for it (true story).

💙 Healing: Stimpaks, RadAway, Rad-X

💙 Lunchboxes

💙 Honey (for Sweetwater)

💙 Nuka-Cola–no, his hat isn't enough.

💙 Food: pepperoni rolls, bubblegum, Rudy's canned pozole

💙 Plant cuttings

💙 Pictures of friends and loved ones, including various cryptids.

🌎 Do they have a favourite region of the world map (e.g. the Forest, the Ash Heap...)? A least favourite region?

❤️: Cranberry Bog

Although the Forest was a fast favorite with everything being in one relatively safe area, Jeff grew to love the Cranberry Bog over the years. As dangerous as it can be sometimes, he feels the most whole there. There's nothing like those misty mornings, blue hours, and radstorms overlooking the cranberry rivers. His work and friends/loved ones are all there, too.

❌️: Toxic Valley

Jeff will only travel up to the Toxic Valley if he absolutely has to. At least Grafty, the "Snallies," and Wavy Willard's are up that way.

🐄 The Blue Ridge Caravan Company?

So much changed when folks started returning to Appalachia, Jeff included.

He found himself aligned with many factions over the years, wearing multiple hats on any given day. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but something was missing.

Jeff didn't know that a random visit to the Cranberry Bog one day would bring him closer to finding out what that was. He's grateful that he gave the Blue Ridge Caravan Company a chance, and the same can be said to Joanna (and Vinny?) for him.

It's tough work being a caravan guard, but it's rewarding. He's always more than happy to lend a hand (or Redd Upper) whenever he's called up. His efforts help folks in Appalachia (including his BRC crew) and beyond–and that means the world to Jeff. 💙

👤 A specific character? (specify who!)

responderschief: (Aries!) for Jeff! (I'd love to know more about him!) 💙

So, I don't know where to begin with this answer 🥹 I haven't written a story/scenario for Jeff since year one of Fallout 76, but I decided to let inspiration take me ✨️

Jeff smiled to himself.

It had rained earlier in the evening. Mud from the ditches that lined the Cranberry Bog stuck to Jeff's boots, squelching beneath him with each step. Behind him, he could hear his friends and co-workers singing along to the song playing on Appalachia Radio. Nearly every verse ended with cheering of some sort, punctuated by clinking bottles.

He was just there at his camp, unwinding with everyone after a long week of traveling back and forth through Big Bend. He had daydreamed about this get-together during his breaks, or whenever Vinny tasked him with getting everyone back on track or whatever.

It was nice to see everyone having a good time–well, almost everyone.

Rudy had found Jeff in the kitchen, preparing two plates of food and filling up an empty bottle carrier with drinks. The merchant smiled at his blue-haired friend and gave him an encouraging pat on the back. Jeff eventually declined Rudy's kind offer of helping him get from one side of the east tunnel base to the other, but maybe he should have–

Lost in thought, Jeff nearly dropped everything in his arms as his boot landed in a hole that wasn't there the day before. He managed to correct himself, sighing in relief.

"Bravo, Knight-Errant! Smooth recovery. Yet another reason why the Brotherhood of Steel have been keeping you around, huh?"

Aries was sitting where his train car door would close, next to the gulper skin that adorned the outside.

Jeff looked up at the source of the voice and let out a defeated laugh. "More like Knight-Errand, but yeah."

Aries chuckled. He helped Jeff up the ramp, then returned to his previous spot with enough room for his fellow caravan guard to slide in next to him.

Jeff popped open a beer for Aries and a Nuka-Cherry for himself. The pair enjoyed their dinner together in comfortable silence, even with the party behind them surging on.

Jeff's gaze settled on the sparse sundew grove, which was beautifully illuminated under the foggy moonlight across from them. He could definitely get used to this, whatever this was.

"Uh…hey, Jeffy?" Aries started. "Thanks for…" Everything, he thought.

Jeff slowly turned his head toward the source of the seldom-used nickname. He did his best to hide his burning cheeks behind the hand holding his half-full Nuka-Cherry, and his smile was just as warm.

Aries looked at Jeff, a smile of his own forming beneath his mask. He immediately forgot what he was going to say, but that was okay.

fin.

Also, I wanted this to be a separate post, but I'm too excited to share:

(Thank you to @jonnyonearth who patiently waited for me to take pictures, as always 🥲❤️)

about sallie.

bio.

Name: Sallie Ruth Milton (Sal to some)

Skeleton: The Playwright

Age: 29 || January 1, 1894

Faceclaim: Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey

Height: 5'9"

Eyes: Hazel

Hair: Brown

Family: x

It’s not just words themselves that matter, but the space between them. It would be a mistake to assume that the pleasantness of valley folk means they’re without opinion. People generally speak well of Sallie.

An old school teacher recalls her as whipsmart; she wasn’t afraid to go head-to-head with him over the exact date Great Flood (she was right, it was 1792, not ‘93.) Wilfred from the farm over commends her grit. She doesn’t mind getting dirty and was diligent in righting the trough for the family’s particularly stupid but prize-winning sow. Parents across the valley have fond memories of their children in holiday plays, painstakingly written and directed by Sallie.

Between the compliments, however, is what isn’t said.

Sallie is smart (which is good, because heaven and henbane isn’t she plain? )

Sallie is hard-working (which is admirable, but we like to live in this world for the rainbows, not the muck.)

Sallie has a good heart (it’s especially good of her to let others shine if she can’t be charming herself, not like the Lawson girl, who laughs like bells, or the Leong’s boy, who is a wit and just as fun to look at.)

Sallie isn’t bitter about it. She has a particular way of seeing the world. There are those who stand in the spotlight and those who sit just off stage making sure everyone is following their lines. She’s not shy, just sensible. She’s aware she doesn’t have the qualities for a leading role and it makes a better story if those who do are able to step forward, unobstructed.

And Sallie likes a good story. With the right character, a person can live a hundred different lives. What people often misunderstand is that stories aren’t just found in novels and plays. Records, riddles, the rings in an old oak tree– they all have a tale to tell. After her granduncle dies, it’s suitable that she’s made the keeper of her family genealogy, tracing the legacy of the Miltons and the Dunns all the way back to the birth of the Green Valley.

Whenever Sallie grows tired of trying to escape the future, the past is a safe place to rest. She instinctively wraps herself up in it, Granduncle Hugh’s flat cap, her father’s tweed wool overcoat, her grandfather’s day shirt stuffed into a skirt, wearing pieces of other people that make her feel more like herself. It’s an odd, hodgepodge way of dressing that doesn’t win her any favors in the city, but she still stuffs a pair of overalls from the mill in her carpetbag before leaving Pittsburgh; after all, the city is history now too.

It’s a good thing appearance isn’t a priority, since she has a list of bad habits that don’t lend themselves to looking like Jobyna Ralston. Her hair, long, loose and out of fashion, often becomes a victim of her fidgeting, tugged on while she writes until it’s a bird’s nest mess. Her cuticles suffer a similar fate, gnawed at when words won’t come to her. There’s the natural toll farming takes on the body, compounded by three lean years in Allegheny County. She comes out the other side something of it an odd duck, all bony elbows and shoulders with bags under her eyes from sleepless nights.

the story thus far.

Before–

Miltons have been part of the valley for as long as anyone can remember. Uttering the name is often followed by the declaration that they’re “good people”, “honest folk” and “a reliable sort”. Their imprint on the valley is a lot like them: understated. It can be found in practical matters; a fence post along the ridge path they repaired without complaint or a well they dug, leaving behind the bucket for others to use.

It’s family first with the Miltons, with community following close behind. Those values have been instilled in Sallie, the oldest of five (though really it’s seven, they have two birch trees bordering their front porch as a reminder.) She falls easily into the role of quasi-parent, rubbing sticky jam from chubby cheeks and giving a pinch when a tongue gets too smart. And what’s community but extended family? If she’s not on the Milton farm she’s in the schoolhouse, where she becomes Miss Milton instead of Sallie.

She has the number of her pupils, knows not to put Paul next to Elmer and can tell when Lois has a frog in her pocket again. However it takes one to know one, and when the days grow longer and attention spans shorter, the children of the valley know there’s no better distraction for their school marm than sweetly asking Miss Milton, won’t you tell us a story?

Dancing across time is a lot lighter than holding the weight of the future. Her hands spread wide, gesticulating instead of cramping around a pencil, as she regales them with tales of the people who came before them and the blessed place nestled between the Hatchett Mountains that they get to call home.

(There’s other business too: one love lost and friends in the process, but that’s written in the margins.)

Then–

Pittsburgh.

Now–

An unannounced return to the Milton farm after the journey home. A stranger in town who shares her cheekbones. The past, present and future coming to a head, linked together by a small piece of paper hidden away in Sallie’s folio.

What Are the Advantages of Using Roofing Pavers?

When it comes to roofing solutions, the array of choices can be overwhelming. Among these options, roofing pavers stand out as a versatile and advantageous choice for homeowners and builders alike. These interlocking concrete or clay tiles not only add aesthetic appeal to a property but also offer a host of practical benefits. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the advantages of using roofing pavers, exploring their durability, energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and more.

Durability and Longevity:

One of the primary advantages of roofing pavers is their exceptional durability and longevity. Crafted from high-quality materials such as concrete or clay, roofing pavers are engineered to withstand the elements, including harsh weather conditions like heavy rain, snow, and wind. Unlike traditional roofing materials that may deteriorate over time, roofing pavers retain their structural integrity, providing long-term protection for your home.

Moreover, roofing pavers are designed to resist fading, warping, and cracking, ensuring that your roof maintains its pristine appearance for years to come. This durability not only minimizes the need for frequent repairs but also offers peace of mind to homeowners, knowing that their roof is built to last.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency:

Another notable advantage of roofing pavers is their ability to enhance energy efficiency. These tiles possess inherent thermal properties that help regulate indoor temperature, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. By reducing the transfer of heat between the interior and exterior of your home, roofing pavers can contribute to lower energy consumption and utility bills.

Additionally, some roofing pavers are available with integrated insulation layers, further improving their energy-saving capabilities. This insulation helps minimize heat loss during the colder months and prevents excessive heat gain during the warmer months, resulting in a more comfortable living environment year-round.

Versatility in Design:

Roofing pavers offer unparalleled versatility in design, allowing homeowners to customize their roofs to match their aesthetic preferences and architectural style. Available in a wide range of shapes, colors, and textures, these tiles can be arranged in various patterns to create unique and visually appealing roof designs.

Whether you prefer the rustic charm of clay tiles or the sleek modern look of concrete pavers, there's a roofing paver option to suit every taste and architectural theme. Furthermore, roofing pavers can be installed with complementary accessories such as ridge caps, edging, and trim pieces, adding further design versatility and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of your roof.

Environmental Sustainability:

In an era of increasing environmental awareness, roofing pavers offer a sustainable alternative to traditional roofing materials. Made from natural materials such as clay or concrete, these tiles have a lower environmental impact compared to synthetic roofing products.

Furthermore, roofing pavers are often manufactured using sustainable practices that minimize resource consumption and waste generation. Many manufacturers also offer recycled roofing pavers, made from reclaimed materials, further reducing the environmental footprint of these products.

Additionally, the longevity of roofing pavers contributes to sustainability by reducing the need for frequent roof replacements, which can generate significant waste. By choosing roofing pavers for your home, you can reduce your environmental impact while enjoying a durable and eco-friendly roofing solution.

Fire Resistance:

Fire resistance is a critical consideration when selecting roofing materials, particularly in areas prone to wildfires or urban environments with high population density. Roofing pavers excel in this regard, offering excellent fire resistance compared to other roofing materials.

Constructed from non-combustible materials such as concrete or clay, roofing pavers provide a protective barrier against airborne sparks and embers. This fire resistance not only helps safeguard your home and belongings but also contributes to overall community safety by reducing the risk of fire spread.

Low Maintenance Requirements:

Maintaining a roof can be a time-consuming and costly endeavor, but roofing pavers offer a low-maintenance solution for homeowners. Thanks to their durable construction and weather-resistant properties, roofing pavers require minimal upkeep to keep them looking their best.

Routine maintenance tasks for roofing pavers typically involve periodic inspections to check for any signs of damage or wear. Additionally, occasional cleaning with a mild detergent and water can help remove dirt, debris, and moss buildup, preserving the appearance and functionality of the roof.

Compared to materials like asphalt shingles or wooden shakes, which may require frequent repairs and replacement due to weather damage or decay, roofing pavers offer a hassle-free alternative that saves both time and money in the long run.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, roofing pavers represent a superior roofing solution that combines durability, energy efficiency, design versatility, environmental sustainability, fire resistance, and low maintenance requirements. Whether you're building a new home or considering a roof replacement, roofing pavers offer a multitude of advantages that make them a worthy investment.

By choosing roofing pavers, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your home is protected by a resilient and long-lasting roof that enhances both its aesthetic appeal and its overall value. With their myriad benefits and lasting performance, roofing pavers undoubtedly deserve consideration as the roofing material of choice for discerning homeowners and builders alike.

Roof Restoration in Sydney: A Comprehensive Guide

Sydney, with its iconic skyline, beautiful beaches, and vibrant urban life, is a place of beauty and diversity. However, the city's coastal location also means that buildings here are exposed to harsh weather conditions, including heavy rains, strong winds, and the scorching Australian sun. These elements can take a toll on the roofs of Sydney homes, making roof restoration an essential consideration for maintaining the integrity and aesthetics of one’s property. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the nuances of roof restoration in Sydney, offering insights into its importance, the process involved, and tips to ensure a successful restoration project. For More Information https://roofrestoration-sydney.com/

The Importance of Roof Restoration

The roof is one of the most critical components of a house, providing protection against the elements and contributing to the overall structural integrity of the building. Over time, wear and tear can lead to issues such as leaks, tile damage, and deterioration of roofing materials. If left unaddressed, these problems can lead to more significant issues, including structural damage, mold growth, and reduced energy efficiency. A well-timed roof restoration can prevent these outcomes, extending the life of your roof and enhancing your home's value and curb appeal.

Signs Your Roof Needs Restoration

Identifying the need for roof restoration early can save homeowners from costly repairs down the line. Here are some signs that your roof may require professional attention:

Age: If your roof is over 20 years old, it may be time for a thorough inspection and possibly restoration.

Leaks: Any signs of water damage or leaks inside your home could indicate roof issues.

Damaged Tiles: Broken, cracked, or missing tiles are clear indicators that restoration is needed.

Sagging: A sagging roof is a serious issue, suggesting structural problems that need immediate attention.

Moss and Lichen Growth: These can cause tile damage and block gutters, leading to water damage.

The Roof Restoration Process

A typical roof restoration in Sydney involves several key steps, each crucial for ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of your roof. While specific processes may vary depending on the type of roof and the extent of damage, the general procedure includes:

1. Inspection and Assessment

The first step is a comprehensive roof inspection by a professional to assess the extent of damage and determine the necessary restoration work. This assessment will cover the roof's structure, surface condition, and any potential leak points.

2. Cleaning

Roof cleaning is performed to remove dirt, moss, and other debris. This step often involves high-pressure washing, which prepares the roof for further restoration work by providing a clean surface.

3. Repairs

This stage addresses any damage found during the inspection, such as replacing broken tiles, re-bedding ridge caps, and fixing leaks. Ensuring all necessary repairs are made is crucial for the longevity of the restoration.

4. Sealing and Coating

After repairs, a sealant is applied to protect the roof from weather elements and prevent leaks. The roof is then coated with a protective layer, often reflecting specific aesthetic preferences while also enhancing the roof’s resistance to UV rays and further weathering.

Choosing the Right Roof Restoration Service

Selecting a reliable roof restoration service is paramount. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision:

Research: Look for well-established companies with good reputations in Sydney. Online reviews and recommendations from friends or family can be invaluable.

Licenses and Insurance: Ensure the service provider has the necessary licenses to operate in Sydney and carries insurance for their work.

Quotes: Obtain detailed quotes from several companies to compare prices and understand what’s included in their services.

Warranty: Ask about the warranty offered on the restoration work. A guarantee can provide peace of mind and protection for your investment.

DIY vs. Professional Roof Restoration

While some homeowners may consider a DIY approach to save costs, roof restoration typically requires professional skills, tools, and safety equipment. The risks involved in DIY roof work, combined with the potential for overlooking critical issues, make professional services the safer and more reliable choice.

Maintaining Your Restored Roof

After restoration, regular maintenance can keep your roof in top condition for longer. This includes cleaning gutters, inspecting the roof regularly for signs of damage, and addressing any issues promptly.

Conclusion

Roof restoration in Sydney is not just about fixing current problems; it's about investing in the future of your home. By understanding the importance of roof restoration, recognizing the signs that restoration is needed, and choosing the right professionals for the job, homeowners can ensure their roofs remain in excellent condition for years to come. Remember, a well-maintained roof not only protects your home from the elements but also enhances its aesthetic appeal and overall value.

The Ultimate Guide to Metal Roof Installation in Oklahoma City - Technology Org

In the heart of Oklahoma, where the weather can swing from scorching summers to icy winters, the roof over your head does more than complete the look of your home or commercial building. It’s a critical line of defense against the elements. Metal roofing, with its durability, energy efficiency, and longevity, has become a popular choice for both homeowners and commercial property owners in Oklahoma City (OKC). This comprehensive guide highlights everything you need to know about metal roof installation in Oklahoma City.

Benefits of Metal Roofing in Oklahoma City

Durability and Longevity

Metal roofs are renowned for their ability to withstand the elements, including high winds, hail, and fire. Their resilience can significantly outlast traditional roofing materials, often lasting 40 to 70 years depending on the material type.

Energy Efficiency

Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by 10-25%. In the hot Oklahoma summers, this can lead to substantial savings on your energy bills.

Aesthetics

With a variety of styles and colors available, metal roofs can enhance the architectural beauty of any building, providing a modern look or even mimicking traditional roofing materials like clay tiles or wood shakes.

Eco-Friendliness

Most metal roofing is made from recycled materials and can be recycled again at the end of its life, making it a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious property owners.

Types of Metal Roofs

Standing Seam Metal Roofs

Standing seam metal roofs feature long, continuous panels that run from the ridge of the roof to the eaves, with seams between panels connected by raised fasteners. This type is highly waterproof and ideal for sloped roofs in Oklahoma’s varied climate.

Metal Shingles

Metal shingles can mimic the look of traditional roof materials like wood shakes, slate, or tile, offering a more classic appearance with the benefits of metal. They are lightweight and quick to install.

Corrugated Metal Roofs

Corrugated metal roofing is characterized by its ridged pattern, which adds strength and durability. It’s a cost-effective option that’s well-suited for both residential and commercial applications.

Installation Process

Choosing the Right Contractor

Selecting a reputable contractor is crucial for a successful metal roof installation. okc roofers are recognized as the best roofing company for metal roof installations in Oklahoma City, with extensive experience, a solid track record, and a commitment to customer satisfaction.

Initial Consultation

The process begins with an initial consultation to assess your roofing needs, preferences, and budget. OKC Roofers will provide expert guidance on the best type of metal roof for your property.

Site Preparation

Before installation begins, the site must be properly prepared. This includes removing the old roof if necessary, inspecting and repairing the roof deck, and ensuring that the structure can support the weight of the metal roof.

Installation

The metal panels or shingles are then installed. For standing seam roofs, panels are typically made to order based on roof measurements and then secured with hidden fasteners. Metal shingles or tiles are installed in a similar manner to traditional shingles, but with special attention to the underlayment and fastening system to ensure durability and weather resistance.

Finishing Touches

Additional components like flashing, ridge caps, and gutters are installed to ensure the roof is fully weatherproof and aesthetically pleasing. The installation process usually takes a few days to a week, depending on the size and complexity of the roof.

What to Expect During Installation

Disruption

While metal roof installation is generally quicker than traditional roofing materials, expect some noise and disruption during the process.

Safety Measures

Professional installers like OKC Roofers prioritize safety, using harnesses and safety nets to prevent falls and ensuring the site is secure.

Cleanup

A reputable contractor will ensure that the site is thoroughly cleaned up after the installation, removing any debris and leftover materials.

Warranty and Aftercare

OKC Roofers offer warranties for both materials and workmanship, providing peace of mind. Regular maintenance checks are recommended to ensure the longevity of your metal roof.

Conclusion

Installing a metal roof in Oklahoma City offers a multitude of benefits, from enhanced durability and energy efficiency to aesthetic versatility. Choosing the right contractor is paramount to ensure a successful installation, and OKC Roofers stand out as the premier choice for metal roofing in the area. With proper installation and maintenance, a metal roof can protect and beautify your property for decades to come, making it a wise investment for any homeowner or commercial property owner in OKC.
