For a couple of hundred dollars labor, the roofers put the left-over metal roofing on our Jazz Mama cabin. There wasn't quite enough so they brought some beige colored from another job.

They scrounged through the rain gutters on my house for screw fasteners that were dropped when applying our roof, and I had a couple of handfuls to give them that I had picked up in the yard around the house.

They applied the metal over the existing rolled roofing and EPDM membrane so as far as I'm concerned, the function of the metal is to keep those surface treatments from blowing away.

Back in the 1980s my dad got an estimate of $5000 to put a metal roof on that cabin. Of course, that involved a whole new plywood deck and other niceties, which we've since done, and then we put on the rolled roofing and membrane, so that was a large part of the job. But last winter, the high winds started picking at the rolled roofing, so something needed to be done.






Quackers the goose helped with the project, he's there in long grass.
