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.

Yeah that's wild. I'm sure shingles would be an option over here, ive never seen it and i doubt it would be any cheaper than sheet metal. Especially factoring in labour costs and definitely would not be cheaper accounting for the durability, im not expecting to have to replace my roof ever.

Yeah, metal roofing lasts decades. Asphalt's a byproduct of oil refining. I'm sure somebody's making a lot of money off of it over here.
