- incorrect ! I had clearly written that it was mainly a financial
decision since the mfg, a friend of yours btw, sells aluminum, more
expensive, shingles. His product sells for $190/SQ. Payment up
front. No guarantees (except yours; and who are you?) the shipment
will arrive. Comparable steel shingles sell for $110-$135/SQ. You do
the math..

And make no mistake, nobody is asking you to waste electrons if this
is all you have to offer. you are not the only one here. There's
thousands of others contributing and asking for advice in this forum.
You are here just to pick a fight w/ others if things dont go your way
since you're the self-appointed cop of this group....?
