15 of you have partaken of the HOA KoolAid. Ricky, of course, required no convincing.
Being as how you have to be at least 50 to join AARP, I'm going to assume you don't know what you're talking about.To hell with AARP, they lie to you like they're some extension of the US Military, all the while bleeding Vets for more money. Anyone can join AARP and get the same "discounts" as non-military personal, all you got to do is pay your way in.
I played their game back in the early 1970s when I first got out of the Army, till I found out they were just a big con right up there with $5K power cords.

What's the projected life-span of that metal roof.... 50? 60 years?
A really nice look too.
that roof will be around a lot longer than I will be. So - optimistically - its got a 25 to 30 year life span. lol
My sider caught me off guard. Called me today - he has a hole in his schedule and was wondering if he can jump on this next week.
I'm like 'hell yeah ! - but he wont be able to get the main front done as I have yet to pour the cement for the porch as the above photo shows
Gonna push my cement guy to pour that porch late next week - so that the sider can complete the joint. Otherwise it will be Three Sides Live
I think you might be selling the roof short... I just google "lifespan of a metal roof" and got this....
Of course only you know the exact material they used... the above is just a general answer to a general question.
I was equating my life span to the roof. Ill prolly be upright for about 25 to 30 years if the good Lord sees it as such
Ricky Life Span - 25 - 30 years
Metal Roof Life Span -Bills data is correct
BTW - the metal panels were formed on site by a team of Amish. No pics in respect to their wishes. This is not your Lowes metal roof- let me tell you !!
High quality stuff

In the UK my dad turned over the stone roof tiles on a 300 year old barn roof and replaced some but not all of the timbers. Should give that roof another 200 to 300 years of life. Roof has to be in original sandstone, it's a conservation area.
From what I have seen the Amish do good work, it seems to be part of their beliefs.
Did they use power equipment or a manual mechanical press to form it?
mechanical along with mechanical shear
having built quite a few houses, but not any since late 2014, I still have an incredible group of subcontractors. Look who showed up today. The cement guy.
He is busy. Im not his bread and butter ( see 'not any since 2014 ' comment ) He showed up. Formed up. Moved Any Mountain !! Thank you Eric for keeping the momentum going
Cement Guy. Sounds like a great name for an Indie band...
construction has its own branding terminology as @mandrix can confirm
sparky = electrician
bricky = mason
cement guy = cement flatwork
tubes = plumber
trimmer = trim carpenter
money = owner/ general contractor
pound crew = framers
lol. Always let the framers play their radio loud!
Tin knockers - ductwork
Rock crew - drywall guys

Sparky and bricky have the same names in the UK. But the rest don't map to UK terms.
I was working in a new subdivision being built near Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven, FL. When this one group of framers were working I called them the "radio guys" because they always had loud music playing from one of the local radio stations. One of the guys had a truck with a really cranking sound system. You always knew when they showed up to the job site. Mostly AM top 40 stuff IIRC.
I drove our crew's big work truck because I had what was called a "chauffeur's" license back then, now called CDL I guess. It actually had a pretty crankin' radio/speakers as well. Well, AM radio you know. Distortion carries. lol.

now you got me reminiscing. so me and my buddies were in our early twenties. all single. all had decent jobs. one friend bought a brand new 23 foot Formula speed boat. Killer boat. He put a big amp in there and 2 big JBL speakers om the rear deck or engine cover.
we got asked to attend a LOT of parties all over Lake Michigan in the Grand Haven area !!!
oh the days....................
