COVER FOR LINTELS OR ANGLE IRONS
The present invention relates to a lintel or angle iron cover, and specifically a cover for an L-shaped lintel having a rise portion and a run portion. The cover is also L-shaped and is a continuous wall made up of an upper wall joined to a top wall which is joined to a side wall. The side wall is also joined to a bottom wall which is joined to a back wall. Further, the upper wall is at least as high as the rise portion of the lintel. The top wall and bottom wall form a U-shaped opening closed by the side wall, and the U-shaped opening is the size of the run portion. Whereas the back wall forms a lip at the end of the bottom wall.
Systems, devices, and/or methods for building construction
Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a wall frame comprising a top plate, a bottom plate, a first end column, a second end column, a plurality of studs, and a plurality of purlins. Each of the plurality of purlins is an edge of a pair of cells, the pair of cells having edges comprising three edges that comprise one or more of a part of the top plate, a part of the bottom plate, a part of the first end column, a part of the second end column, a part of the plurality of studs, and another of the plurality of purlins.

System and method for efficient and ergonomic waterproofing of joints and fasteners
A system for efficiently and ergonomically waterproofing a weakness area of a roof. The system includes an airless sprayer system capable of attaching to one or more attachments. The airless sprayer system is connected to a reservoir containing a waterproofing liquid. The attachments include an encapsulating attachment and a duckbilled attachment, either attachment capable of connecting to an extending wand. The system may be used atop a roof by either placing the encapsulating attachment over a fastener or the duckbilled end over a seam and pulling the trigger of a spray gun of the airless sprayer system until either the fastener or seam are sufficiently covered in waterproofing liquid. By connecting the wand therebetween the spray gun and the attachment, the user of the system may be able to remain standing when applying the waterproofing liquid. A method for efficiently and ergonomically waterproofing a roof weakness using the system.
Mineral wool insulation board system with mechanical fasteners and reinforcing mesh
A method of constructing an exterior insulated wall is provided. The method includes: erecting a wall structure of vertical studs and sheathing mounted to the studs; applying a moisture barrier layer and an adhesive layer; mounting a rear surface of a mineral wool insulation board to the adhesive layer, the rear surface having vertically extending drainage grooves, a front surface of the insulation board having a reinforcing mesh adhered thereto; securing the mineral wool insulation board to the studs with corrosion resistant screws and washers; and applying a weather resistant coating on the reinforcing mesh and washers. The mineral wool insulation board includes mechanically entangled non-woven hydrophobic fibers spaced apart by air voids to define a compressible fibrous mass. The washers and screws exert pressure on a compressed zone of the compressible fibrous mass which reduces moisture permeability, increases volume percentage of fibers, and lowers volume percentage of air voids.
Multi-part underlayment for building envelope details
A multi-part roofing underlayment having independent release liners, where the underlayment comprises separable portions attached adjacent top edges of the separable portions, creating an interface therebetween into which roofing components may be inserted, easing installation and better mitigating wind-driven rain and ice dam related roof failures. Embodiments provide the multi-part roofing underlayment in sheet and roll forms and with various configurations of release liners, adhesive layers, granular layers, selvedge edges, and plastic layers.
