For some reason I thought is was tile.
My brothers in Utah both have “tin” roofs & love them.
I remember when we had a fire here the FD said they hated the tile roofs. Heavy & dangerous were the keywords I heard.
Prayers up for the firefighters & their success!
It’s the old asphalt shingles, Connie. I have replaced them over the years, but I think it is time to go to something a bit safer. (And, fire proof.)
I know what you mean about the tile being heavy - and also - the critters get in the openings, easily. One of my neighbors got a copper roof - and another got a green metal of some kind. Neither will burn. (Smart neighbors.)
So - Looks like I’ll be looking into the ‘tin’ ones. Thanks for letting me know your brothers are happy with theirs.
