    Flat roof pooling

    In the covering Rubber? Is it a new roof or a replacement to the previous covering? Something is (IMHO) clearly wrong. If a replacement or a new roof then there shouldn't be a step along the edge that feeds into the gutter. If a replacement did they replace the boards?

    Looks like rain

    Well the couple did a good (rain) dance. After a quick shower the rain held off for the ceremony and the walk to the reception. Afterwards apart from the hog roast everything else was under cover. No lightening, sadly but plenty of thunder and some rain.

    Cat 5e or Cat6

    By using CAT6 you are 'Future Proofing' your network. Present use of CAT5 for fly leads won't presently make much difference, longer lengths will.

    oil types

    Clean oil is always good. But it's more important to change oil frequently on low milage vehicles as high detergent oils absorb and hold water - high mileage vehicles will boil (burn) off the water content.
