Deck Fill Material 4 Ponding Area?

That's the only reason I could think of not to use it! One good point about this house is that it has two steel beams running through this carport, so it can't sag too much. Turns out this house made the Chicago Tribune(?) for it's architecture in the sixties.

paraslope is a lot lighter than sand as the asphalt binder keeps some air in the mix. It's also much more permanent, ie: once tamped in place it won't displace under foot traffic. Good stuff for the purpose.

For smaller area where we could not install a roof drain we used a solar powered pump and shot the water to a drainage system, we installed about a total of 50 solar pumps over the years and probably 200 3 and 4 inch deck drains I thought i was a plumber on one shopping center we did it required over 150 drains plus all of the hardware, transmission downspouts collection boxes and etc

You install the piping to the outside of the building too? I've always had a plumber contracted in to the job to do that, but I've only got a notch on the belt compared to you in that department.

I merely assumed that requires a licensed plumber. Maybe that's just IL

Yep the State of Florida is a licensed state all professions need to be licensed, when we had to move A/C units we had a licensed A/C contractor, even though I was a licensed GC and Roofing contractor We had employed a Registered PE and Mechanical contractor you ould not make a move without using a licensed contract, just a note any sub contractors had to hold the required license

Clover, where in IL are you?

By Carbondale which is about an hour from the bottom of the state.

Got it. I am from Chicago. If we had this conversation in the past, forgive my poor memory.

Nah, don't think we've really interacted before. I tend to stay away from Chicago and all things related!(except the sox)

I got an SIU buddy from Medinah about to come down and visit though. He's still a loudmouth butthead.

Yeah I get it. I try to stay away from Chicago too, but since I live across the street, literally, it doesn't happen. I'd move tomorrow if my wife would let me, oh and if we weren't upside down on our mortgage too.
