Re: SB: metal roof help wanted

["Rey Arbolay" <TXH2344@mynra.com>]

I installed a metal roof last year. After getting quotes of 6-8 
thousand dollars from several roofing contractors for metal, and 
2200 and above for tar shingles (composite) I finally decided to 
buy the materials for 1900 dollars and tackle the project myself. 
Although my roof is nowhere as complicated as yours, I can assure 
you that you CAN do it!. It took me 3 weekends and lots of 
patience, but did it almost by myself (the wife helped hauling the 
metal panels up). Just do some research on the net, 
(metacrawler.com or vivisimo.com or muellers materials website 
has .pdf files on the exact instruction how to put up a roof) 
drive around and find examples of what you are trying to do, you 
would be amazed at how much you can learn by just looking at 
someone elses work. Above all, dont let the contractors dicourage 
you. You can do it.

Dont try to be a great man.
Just be a man and let history decide.
