Jeff,
Glad to hear your mom is doing better.

PS I like that roof, very good use of materials. It sure looks like metal to me.
Are we there yet?

I've been curious about this stuff. How does it hold up in the long run?

Well, it doesn't really do that well when outside for 15 months straight. It was outside while I built a Jim Dandy and the sun took a toll on the top part turning it kind of yellowish. I thought it was just dirt but when I got up there to give it a good scrubbing I noticed the coloring. It's weird, the top is shot but the front is still looking great!! I wouldn't be afraid to use it again but will need some sort of cover if left outdoors.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was concerned about.

I do plan to keep the tear in the garage, so sun shouldn't be a big issue.
