My daughter has a older mobile home she bought as a starter house a few years ago.
This past week she came to me and said she noticed the roof was leaking in the last weeks heavy rains. My first thought was..... You have a husband!!!! That's when she give me that daughter look; so I guess I need to fix her roof. Yes I am a sucker for a daughters sad face.
Anyway I got up there this morning to see what I have. It is a gable metal roof with about 3 or 4/12 pitch. The metal has some (best I can describe it) rubber coating spread all over the metal. This rubber coating is cracking and you can peel it up.
So I looking at my options. I can get 29 gauge painted steel for .60 a sq ft. Time we add some 1x4 or 2x4 for purlins; some screws; ridge cap; we are at .85 a sq ft give or take a few cents. So I will use .85 a sq ft as my base price.
I really would much rather use some flat roof roll roofing. No not the old torch down type but the newer peel and stick type. I looked at the home depot and saw this for .42 a sq ft but then noticed it is really a underlayment.
So then I started searching roll roofing and see most of them are a 2 part system. This about doubles the price. The more I looked the more I got overwhelmed with the whole thing.
Then I noticed this (in link)a Menards. Yes the closest Menards is 500 miles away but I could order from a local Owens Corning dealer if I knew this is what I wanted.
So I am open to any and all ideas you guys may have on peel and stick roofing.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
