Take care Ray, roofing makes old men out of young men and dead men out of old men. Not sure I ever want to tackle that job again. Relax and have yourself a great 4th..

Mass we were going to use green but the cost for green was about 1600 and i had to drive about 150 miles and pickit up. I found on craigslist over 200 sheets 10' long for 500 and it was only 40 miles rount trip. i did have to go to another place and get end caps and ridge caps and screws was another 200 but that is still a big savings. hope i can get on the roof this fall when it is cooler and paint it if not it will stay like it is. I posted some pix in the groups photh section. Ray

Congrats on this milestone..... and what a good deal!!!!!! And just why do you need to paint it....?????
I'm not good with heights so I'll not offer to help. I can cook and pass up some lemonade though!!!!
