After a bloody year, it is time for our endangered youths to put down the handguns and take up the caulk guns. It is time to replace no hope and no future with hope, future building, installing wind turbines, installing solar panels, and weatherizing our homes and buildings.

Metal Roof

Green Roofing
amycorson Says:Can anyone who attended this session post some notes on the pros and cons Jim shared about different roofing materials? Outside of cost, I am wondering why more people in our region have not installed metal roofs. With their high durablity and low maitainance, they seem ideal. I see metal roofs used in commercial, and park shelters, but not residential. Is there some major issues with them? Where I come from in South Africa everyone built with them, but that is an entirely different climate. Any info you have would help.
Metal roof
Marc Lefkowitz Says:Amy,
Walking home from the train I met a neighbor on my street who installed a metal roof on their single family home. She said they had to convince the city of Cleveland Heights (they got a variance), but she cited the longevity and, actually, the ability to regulate heat as reasons they chose it. I can try to put you in contact with her if you're interested.
