Where the Hell do you live, Windsor Castle?

In 2020, the same company quoted me $38,000 for a new roof.

Inflation and demand happened.

We are not allowed to use shingles or metal here.

Several boards replaced, new dry-in, flat concrete (not barrel - yuck) tile roof, 3 roof vents, additional tie down reinforcement, and structural engineer certification.

All of that got me to current hurricane code, which lowered my hurricane insurance to the lowest level possible.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

ya but you can eat fish more often,not sure what flops around in the puddles out there where the buses don't run. And around here perhaps a dozens of courses have been gobbled up by developers so prices have climbed on the duffing front

Forecast high here today is 82°F and low RH. really nice day for August.

I see it's 54°F in Cincy right now, so I'd guess the eastern part of the US is under a frost warning, almost.

Basically, he says if we elect Trump, we're all doomed.  No comment about China and India.

The "plan" obviously is to throw money at it, see the hailed "climate" bill that Biden signed,  that now, suddenly, is not nearly enough!  (It was laughable on day one.)

We need to DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One party says they're going to do nothing and will do... nothing.

The other party says it's critical that we do something, and fast, and will do... next to nothing.
