SB: metal roof help wanted

["Erica Peng" <Erica_Peng@berkeley.k12.ca.us>]

Hello all,

Does anyone out there know of a roof contractor in the Bay Area who could
provide a day or two of consultation for metal roof installation for a
strawbale house we're building?  Sometime around 3-4 weeks from now (we
hope).

It's a straightforward 18" standing seam roof but the place it's going to
get tricky is that it's a 12/12 pitch roof with 5 dormers and 2 skylights.
 The eaves are about 12 ft from grade on the east side and 16 on the west,
and the peak of the gable is approx 27 feet off the ground on the north
and south.  The footprint is approx 1000 sq ft., estimated roof sq footage
is 3200 sq ft. That includes a roughly 300 sq ft roof section that will
have hot water solarpanels on it as well. 

One contractor came out and advised us not to try it ourselves, and to pay
him and his crew lots of $ instead.  But I ran into Kelly Lerner the other
night and she reassured us that we could probably do it -- with some
consultation help up front. 
I'm hoping to find someone who would be willing to work with us through
the first dormer and skylight.  Want to make sure we get the flashing
right......

Thanks -
