The biggest obstacle to the completion of Maya’s tiny house has been the roof. Our plans call for a 24 gauge standing-seem metal roof.  It offers light weight, incredible life span, and high resistance to wind damage (a critical characteristic for a house that can be towed on a highway). Originally, we had planned to do the work ourselves but could not find a local supplier willing to sell us the components (they don’t want their product’s reputation compromised by an amateur installation).  The professional installers to whom they refer you, on the other hand, are generally not interested in a 250 square foot project. Rock and hard place. I finally thought to contact one of my soccer buddies, a former president of Harvey Industries, who hooked us up with Twin Metals last Friday. They had a two man crew on site by 7AM this morning and should have the job done by tomorrow. Maya, doing some networking of her own, obtained the exact same pointer to Twin Metals and there is sure to be future debate over who deserves credit for extricated us from our roofing impass.
