Or an economic analysis that shows you could scrap the copper and purchase a
slightly used mobil home!

For any interested, the Chicago - AIA, Historic Resources Committee is
planning a field trip to the RV/Mobilhome Heritage Foundation on August 18
(thanks to the trailer lady for the introduction to the web site a while
back). We are also going to visit the Homes of Tommarrow that were built for
the Century of Progress World's Fair and then floated across Lake Michigan
to their final resting place in Beverly Shores Indiana.

How about an economic analysis that showed that it was
better to totally replace a 70 year old batten roll
copper roof with copper box gutters and infill
skylights with a new batten roll copper roof with
copper box gutters and new infill skylights ...

... than to patch repair the copper roof and gutters
for the next twenty years.

Shoot from the hip.
Off the cuff.
Comments please?
