For all of you slaters out there, Joe Jenkins is having a buy one get one sale on his slate hammers. I just got the email and thought I would share with you.
Not low-tech, OS. It's old tech. Nothing wrong with it if it works, I just laugh at the juxtaposition of professing to the old ways all the while selling it with the latest email contact program.
Woody...What do you speak of? Slate "low tech?" Copper "Low tech?"
A properly installed slate roof will last for generations after the original installer puts it on. I put on a lot of slate and I also started to roof with my dad putting on shingles. I have been shingling for about 55 years now, and some of those original roofs we did have been done 3 times since then. There were slate roofs that were 60 years old when I started that are still going strong today. How is that low tech?
Wow, Joe Jenkins is a new-tech, email kind of guy? I bet he does facebook and twitter, too. It's just roofing that he thinks shouldn't evolve beyond the 13th century.
Thanks Terry, but I'm not in a slate market. If I got his special, I'd have 2 more than I need. :cheer:
