Roof leak damages pressed tin ceiling Wright County Monitor
21.05.09
The Clarion Burgh Council was informed Monday that there has been a leak from the roof of the old library building. Water has ruined some of the pressed tin ceiling tile that they had planned to keep safe.
Two bids were submitted to repair the roof. Since the city had planned to reroof the building in a couple of years, the Committee approved total reroofing now with city administration to determine the funding source. Todd Studer was the low bidder at $8900.
In other clash the Council
-approved an outdoor beer garden permit for Little Willie's for Festival in the Park weekend. The parking lot between buildings on South Mere will serve as the site. Some concrete leveling work will need to be completed before the event;
-discussed City Leave bare-up week. The project will end up costing the city nearly $80,000 or $20,000 more than projections. The Council expressed damp squib that people are abusing the privileges by putting refuse out that does not qualify

Alaska Homestead: Living in a Cabin up North Mother Earth News
01.06.09
Now to sanction it here (thanks to some of the less obtrusive tools of technology) than ever before in history.
The typical subsistence setup is very basic. Ours centers around a pithy one-room cabin made of squared-on-three-sides logs that we simply stacked and spiked together. Construction of the dwelling was uncomplicated and took minimum planning. Because of its low ceiling, our cabin requires comparatively little wood to heat it during severe winter weather. For elucidation, we use a gas lantern.
Our inside furnishings can best be described as "simple". The cupboards, for instance, are neatly disguised as discarded gasoline boxes. Bunk beds are built open into the lodge's walls and our "closets" consist of nails driven into those same log walls. (Anything extra is stored in cardboard boxes under the beds or put case in the cache.) The cabin's windows are plastic film attached loosely so that—in cold weather, when the "panes" desiccate—the plastic won't crack. (For storm windows, we merely add another layer of the film.)

How do you remove paint from tin ceiling tiles?
Apr 01, 2008 by Michigan T | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
Mitigate! I need ideas for removing paint from antique tin ceiling tiles. We are renovating a 1920's cottage, and have charmed the tiles down to strip the paint.
The first layer seems to be a latex paint and the second layer is lead-based. We craving to strip them down, prime and repaint them a copper color.
Well, the most excellently and least expensive and least time costly way to do it is as follows:
Use oven cleaner. Apply a thin layer of the oven cleaner to the tin tiles and use a slight feel embarrassed putty knife to remove peeling and loosened pieces. Apply a second layer of the oven cleaner using a resolute bristled brush to get the oven cleaner into the cracks and crevices. Apply as many layers as you need. You'll be gifted to just wipe away the residu with a damp rag. However, you should wait about (but no more!) than 2 hours for the oven cleaner to work appropriately. Don't wait longer so it doesn't damage your tin tiles.
Protect the surface of the floor with a magnanimous sheet of plastic, since oven cleaner can harm your floors. It's also important to protect your eyes with sheltering goggles and your hands with rubber gloves.
Also, though it isn't part of your question, when you prime your tin tiles, make sure you use an oil-based primer to elude having your tiles rust from water-based primer. You can then paint latex paint on top of the oil-based primer without a unmanageable.
This is how I did my tin tiles and those of 3 clients.
Enjoy your new tin tiles... ;-)

Linseed oil or turpentine. Fortunate your heart. I'm glad to know someone else loves thoses tiles as much as I do. It's going to be a very messy long-drawn-out job, but well worth it. They don't make them like that anymore!

Greasepaint thinner should do the job... But paint/varnish stripper will be easier...
I'd recommend using "nitromors" nearby here (or try your local hardware store):http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/880/mia/d/nitromors+paint+varnish+remover+500ml/pid/6353638
BE Vigilant, wear thick rubber gloves (builders gloves - not dish gloves), and clothes you don't mind ruining (you quite are anyway if you're decorating right?)
Apply nitromors generously to the area you want to clean with a paint sweep, make sure to AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN... Leave for 5/10 minutes (Till draw has blistered and started to flake off). Wipe clean and rinse.

Well, the first and least expensive and least time costly way to do it is as follows:
Use oven cleaner. Apply a thin layer of the oven cleaner to the tin tiles and use a ungenerous putty knife to remove peeling and loosened pieces. Apply a second layer of the oven cleaner using a stuffy bristled brush to get the oven cleaner into the cracks and crevices. Apply as many layers as you need. You'll be skilled to just wipe away the residu with a damp rag. However, you should wait about (but no more!) than 2 hours for the oven cleaner to work duly. Don't wait longer so it doesn't damage your tin tiles.
Protect the surface of the floor with a gargantuan sheet of plastic, since oven cleaner can harm your floors. It's also important to protect your eyes with shielding goggles and your hands with rubber gloves.
Also, though it isn't part of your question, when you prime your tin tiles, make sure you use an oil-based primer to shun having your tiles rust from water-based primer. You can then paint latex paint on top of the oil-based primer without a stew.

Does anyone know where I can find tin ceiling tiles for cheap?
Apr 08, 2008 by theneddra | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I am remodeling a very old house of ill repute, it has and had some tin ceiling tiles in it, I would like to keep the look, the new tin tiles don't go well with old and the new tin tiles are too expensive to replace the whole ceiling.
I have seen brick up paper that you can apply to the ceiling at Home Depot , if you like can leave it white or paint it using either a copper or tin badge paint .

How do I strip an old tin ceiling that's peeling?
Sep 14, 2008 by Beach Bum | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
We have a large, original, metal (tin?) ceiling in our kitchen that was painted and is now a pretty bad mess of peeling paint. We sweep it periodically to lay in ruins off the chunks but I need a quicker way to get the old paint off. It can't be scraped due to the texture. What can I use without damaging the metal? Once that's done, what type of paint would I use so I don't end up with the same difficulty?
This may bluster crazy but I stripped off a 3000 sq ft ceiling with this method (contractor wanted $17,000) I used an electric weed wacker (yes, a weed wacker) Knocked off the surface and did not damage the tin at all. If you try this I STRONGLY recommend using a face shield and wearing long sleeve clothing as the persuadable from the line will sting you when it breaks off. Also wear a dust mask. The beauty of this is that you are left with a DRY dust or very small chips of pint to make a revelation up. You will be amazed at how well this works. I am getting ready to paint using an oil based primer. Best of luck.

How to make tin looking ceiling tile?
Oct 26, 2008 by admnurse | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I have the aluminum (flashing)sheets and a trivet with the aim which I would like - now - how do I create the same look with these materials as a tin ceiling? I have attempted a hammer - does not work well - any suggestions?
You could enlarge the shape out of wood, and then lay the metal over the shape, and hammer away.
