The first thread on this serious subject was begining to get...well...a little silly and Lynskey's very important post was, in my opinion glossed over. I refer, of course, to Arabian roofers. THIS IS SOME SERIOUS SHIT! Do you know what the Arabs have more of than anyone else? OIL and SAND! Do you know what "composition" shingles are made of? OIL and SAND! They have a glut of resorces and they don't even need roofs! Hell, it doesn't even rain there, does it? If the Western world wants to maintain it's freedom from these parched-skinned devils, we'd better take heed. Bring back the thatchers. Repair, don't replace the slate. Tile! Independence from foreign roofing!
