I priced a hidden-fastner metal roof install and it was twice the

Did the same about 20 years ago.* Made no sense to spend that much
more.

Corse it does when it lasts much longer.
Mine is just as good as it was when new,
now 50 years later.

Same with bricks instead of the stupid
timber you fools use for the walls too.

Bricks were not readily available in many parts of the country.

Only because you fools do your houses using
cheap and nasty timber and sidings. And even
you should have noticed that the timber and
sidings don’t actually come from some forest
down the road. Iron ore mine in spades.

If you look at much of the northeast from Boston to Virginia there
are a lot of brick homes.* You need clay and kilns to make them.

Everyone has some clay not too far away.

Not readily available in other places

BULL**** with the clay and even you should
be able to work out how to make a kiln.


Such a shame you were not available to show them how to do this
economically all over the country.* The housing industry would be far
different today.* With a nuke powered kiln they could knock out millions
of bricks.

And they can make the bricks stay warm forever.

And light the house.
