Hi Guys:
What do you call 'shingles'.
Over here in England, there are several methods for house roofing, mainly
tiles - these are usually about a foot square.
I wonder if they are what you call 'shingles'?
These can be made of clay or cement, and other forms are slate - my seaside
house has these 12 by 24 inches.
Rarely is metal used, although lead is used as flashing to chimneys.

Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Siding
Lee,
didn't think of that one. the insurance company says I got to put the same
steel siding back on, and that stuff is running $135 to $160 a square. Well
not the same damage siding, but steel siding to replace steel siding.The
steel installs similar to vinyl, the way it locks together, and nails up.
Steel has been going up in price to. To bad i do not have a recycler close
by that would pay per pound for the steel I have to take off.
ordered my roofing material yesterday. Do you know how hard it is to find
25 year 3 tab shingles out here. The rep at the lumber yard said some
companies are cutting back on the colors they sell, and the price changes so
much, they don't keep much in stock. he said the price would be going up to
$56 a square with the next shipment they get, so i am glad I got mine at $46
per square. A few of the local lumber yards are already at $56 per square.
Should show up on the 1st of July. So my Fourth will be spent roofing,
siding, and drinking beer.
Michael

Michael, It might not do anything but might I suggest you contact your
State Senate and or Assembly representative as well as your State
Insurance office regards the rate insurance companies are not keeping
up with? at least you did not get hit with a statement" you are not
covered because this is an " act of God." when buying insurance coverage
always ask what it will cost for the very best of coverage and often it
is not that more. not that it will help you in your case at this time.
also a call to your representative in Congress to let them know what
rising oils rates are doing to the homeowner such as yourself. Lee
