Re: Do I go metal or shingle (new roof) ???
Shingles last 30 years or more. I had the roof done after 30 years and I'll be dead before it needs it again. They look a lot nicer and provide good footing as I'm always on the roof changing spotlights, cleaning the chimney, cleaning gutters, etc.-------Sixgun

Hey Pierre, looks like a nice half rd/oct button mag '92. Not too shabby. Out of a million 1892's, only 6,675 had that configuration. You think maybe I can have it?
