ASC Building Products, Salt Lake City, and Roofing Supply Group (RSG) LLC, Ogden, Utah, recently partnered to participate in an episode of Tiny House Nation on A&E Television Network's FYI™ digital network.

Steampunk, a retro-futurist style incorporating technology and aesthetic designs inspired by the 19th century that include combinations of metal, wood and leather, was the design theme for the tiny house featured in the episode that aired April 27.

More From This Issue

  • Keeping current

    As the popularity of rooftops being used as platforms for photovoltaic systems began to grow, NRCA developed a set of guidelines to assist the construction industry. These best-practice guidelines have been revised based on information collected by NRCA from knowledgeable, practicing roofing contractors and are contained in the recently published <i>NRCA Guidelines for Rooftop-mounted Photovoltaic Systems</i>.

  • Preserving a historical sanctuary

    History experts and novices have the opportunity to engage with original sources of history while visiting the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming, Laramie. In 2013, leaks in the roof system threatened the irreplaceable documents and artifacts contained within the building. D&D Monarch Sheet Metal Inc., Denver, was selected to perform the tear-off and new roof system installation on the unique cone-shape building.

  • Overhauling overtime

    The Department of Labor (DOL) has proposed regulations that dramatically could increase the number of employees entitled to overtime compensation. The proposed regulations would adjust the salary level test used to determine employee exemption from overtime compensation to equal the 40th percentile of earnings for full-time salaried workers. DOL estimates the proposed new regulation will affect nearly 4.7 million employees working in an estimated 290,800 establishments, including the roofing industry.
