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 - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
