The roof on our current house was great, 20 year old steel roof in excellent condition (shingles don't last out here in the country lol I always wonder why people shingle their home only to replace every 2 years when they could have splurged and bought the steel and not replaced for 50 years, yanno?).

When we roofed our back porch "mud room" it was given a steel roof which is in fitting with many of the old homes in our neighborhood as well.

My next home will definitely have a steel roof! When I drive out to visit my sister I go pass many old farm homes all with beautiful steel roofs and many that also have lightening rods. I have wondered about that. Do you know if a steel roof increases the likelihood of being lightning struck?

I have no idea but I know that our insurance company won't insure a house with a lightening rod. They only insured the barn (with 3 lightning rods) because no one lives in it lol. We've never been struck and our house is up on a hill too.

Hehe Farmfresh, our place too had/has a bad case of the uglies. I'll show you photos sometime, we have an album on one of my photobuckets of what it was like when we moved in. Its still pretty ugly inside but we're coming to the point now where we're calling restoration companies (brick and window restoration guy came today! wee!) and looking at hardwood floor samples (birch!! Beautiful. mum told me she was leaving dad for the birch hardwood flooring LOL).
