Why is the durable, environmentally sustainabler, net cheapest option always the one that is out of reach for the average person? It would look so swag. My crow brain is HEAVING! I want to live in the shiny penny house.

Also could anyone who has put on a metal roof share about their experience? Did it feel worth it? I’m planning to die in this house and I’m still young.

    I’m looking at rooves now. Cheapest metal roof was 18k, standing seam was 30k, highest end traditional shingle was 11k. 1200sqft

    I don’t think I’ll be here long enough to make it worth it but I really like the idea. Only concern was being under some old trees that have been dropping dead limbs which might dent the roof

      What was the joining mechanism for the cheaper metal roof? And was it painted steel? I think painted steel can look very handsome but my heart cries out for COPPER.
