Everything I read about metal roofs was "expect to pay a lot more then asphalt". I was pleasantly surprised with the figure the guy gave me, as I expected it to be twice as much! In total, it doesn't seem like much more then doing the asphalt crap, which would probably have to be removed, adding to the cost, and then done again in 15 years. And then again in 15 years. He says he'll start in November, and I picked the sort of tan color, "sandalwood". He said the moss was no problem, I expect it'll be dead by november anyway. Hope we don't get an early snow! 

 

Apparently they put down a sheet of metal with ribs on it, then fasten the top over that, which is what helps stop the ice. Of course huge sheets of metal over the whole thing will hopefully solve my leak problem too. Time will tell, but for now I'm just happy to keep more money then I expected and have a contract to get it done.

 

Let's just hope it goes well for the price. He's the only guy in town that does this, and I'm pretty sure I saw a metal roof yesterday driving around (I've been looking) and it seemed okay. Let's hope so.

 

Otherwise, saw My Buddy and talked to a guy about his new machine. Boring.

 

Didn't close the door tight enough going upstairs and Tinker actually came down! He checked things out and Squeaker watched him like a hawk. Tinker hissed a bit, and Squeaker seems very nervous around him. Hopefully some of that aggression will be snipped out, shall we say, come Monday? I won't trust him alone down here with Squeaker for awhile longer, but at least they didn't fly at each other (metaphorically, they don't have wings) and try tearing the other to bits. 

 

Got one call, but didn't reach her. She once again left her work number, apparently because she can't listen to my message and leave her home number, you know, where she'll be between 7-9, when I call back. So 4 tomorrow, then buy subs and get home to watch Dr Who with Dad. Well, three calls, but one was to tell me his machine suddenly became amazingly slow, and then again to tell me he called Dell (the machine was just bought like three weeks ago) who said the hard drive had failed and were sending a tech out to replace it. Will he do everything I did? Like moving that old stuff over and such? Good thing I always recommend keeping old hard drives around awhile! Go me!

 

Nothing for Saturday, but game, Pyre. Then Demongate is next week because Stan/Sean aren't available. So that should be a good couple of games. I'll need the rest after this week. 

 

This terrible, terrible week.

 

See you next week everyone. Enjoy National Dessert Day, this 14th of Oc… man, October is half gone already? Gotta get some candy, not that I get many trick or treaters usually.
