That's what I was thinking, houses in Phoenix are
mostly made of chicken wire and stucco. I've noticed

from inside antennas. If I go up in to the attic
though, forget it, I think the roof is metal. I know
the roof over the kitchen, which I could go walk on to
from my step dad's upstairs den, is metal, magmounts
stick.
