What is metal roof gauging?

• <div><p>When choosing a metal roof, consider not only the area of the roof but also the thickness of the panel, known as the gauge. Common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/metal-roofing-gauges.htm">roofing gauge sizes</a> for metal roofs are 24-gauge and 26-gauge. The smaller the gauge size, the thicker the roof. Usually, a thicker gauge is ideal if your house is in an area that sees a lot of rain, snow, or hail, as it will be less likely to dent.</p></div>

Are hot water heaters good for scrap metal?

• <div><p>Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.</p></div>

Q: How do various elements influence the cost of assembling a unit?

• <div><p>Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.</p></div>

Q: Can I do my own welding?

• <div><p>You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won&rsquo;t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don&rsquo;t have the proper equipment. As such, it&rsquo;s usually better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-things-consider-when-hiring-welder.htm">hire a professional welder</a> for your welding projects.</p></div>

Q: What household tool can cut a metal pipe?

• <div><p>Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you&rsquo;d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It&rsquo;s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you&rsquo;re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw. </p></div>
