R, we're going to put some solar shingles on our bottom garage roof. Still checking prices and trying to figure out how many we want.
Had a hailstorm here a couple of month's back. It totaled out every ones roof within a 2 mile square. It isn't leaking...and we've got 2 years to figure out exactly what we want...so we're taking our time.

Aside from the fact you can't find a roofer within 200 miles now.
