Inspectorjoe Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Today was a good day. I had a meticulously maintained 1920 Tudor Revival. Check out the year-old copper roof. I can't begin to imagine what that baby cost. Apparently, the great recession hasn't adversely affected everyone.

AHI in AR Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Today was a good day. I had a meticulously maintained 1920 Tudor Revival. Check out the year-old copper roof. I can't begin to imagine what that baby cost. Apparently, the great recession hasn't adversely affected everyone.

The roof surface can handle deep standing water, but I'm not so sure about the framing. Kevin: Not depression, but recession - the big one we supposedly climbed out of in 2009 (could have fooled me). The copper roof was installed a year ago, and about about two decades ago, an addition was put on the rear of the house. It's probably the most unobtrusive, well integrated addition I've ever seen.
