A metal roof was put on our 'new' barn wings post-WWII. It was very heavy gauge corrugated aluminum, probably made in the rolling mills that used to do bomber skins. Where it was not damaged mechanically by other storm debris, and where the nails didn't pull out in the wind, etc., the roof is still good. But that other damage all adds up, and very little of that original roof is actually all that good anymore.
This is in the PNW, not that far from Kaiser's aluminum mills powered by the Columbia river. Might only have been a regional thing, and probably temporally limited. Also, _very_ noisy in hail and such. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
