I would like to know more about lead roofing. This sounds very interesting.
It's really too bad that there isn't some kind of metal that will not rust, the way lead and copper don't rust... some kind of metal that was, perhaps lighter in weight... some kind of metal that might be a silvery color that could reflect some of the sun's energy and keep a house cool... Some kind of metal that is currently being used in roofing... some kind of metal that starts with the letter "A"...
