home maintenance

The roof is nearing the end of its lifespan. No acute problems, but it's about time to start talking to purveyors of replacements. There are books on the third floor, after all. :-)

If you have comments (pro or con) about roofers in the Pittsburgh area, I'd appreciate hearing them.

If you have favorite resources (particularly if they're on the web) that will help us make whatever decisions are involved (materials, what else?), I'd definitely like to hear about them.

I'm assuming that the "sun tubes" have to run in a straight line down from the roof to wherever they're delivering the light?

Apparently they do not. That's the cool part.

Hmm! Ok, that makes a difference. :-) (Our roof is above the attic, which in turn is above the second floor, which is where we would want the light (attic is storage). But the straight-line paths mostly don't come out in useful places.)
