I like the idea of a metal roof. I guess they are even coming up with metal shingles. The noise would depend on amount of insulation. Nothing better than listening to rain hit a metal roof. Noting worst than listening to a hailstorm hit a metal roof. Ear plugs are needed. But that is usually in shops.

We're building a house in the flatlands, and were warned to...

Oh, it's not a regular occurence. Sometimes when you have a very heavy snowfall, it's good to get some of it raked off the roof. If you get too much on there, the weight can give you problems. But like I said, it's nothing you have to do often.

Walmat (Huron & Mitchell) yesterday afternoon......both stores......produce departments are wiped out. No potatoes, apples, banannas, lettuce...........maybe they will get trucks in, today!!

Some pics from our recent bit of winter weather.... A couple of days before a blizzard hit the state, western South Dakota was enshrouded in a freezing fog that encased everything it touched in ice and frost. It was treacherous to drive or walk in, but beautiful to behold. I wasn't able to get to it with my camera until after dark, so everything is lit by street lamps and camera flash. This little tree looked so cold I wanted to put a...

Theres cars left in the roads stuck every where here in rc.

Thanks!!! Wondering why I couldn't find city info on it! Knew there was a VA hospital associated with it, but was looking for relocation info and just couldn't find it. Not sure if I want to actually relocate in Sturgis. The rally must make getting around pretty tough for at least 10 days?

Might get warmer there ,but Probably not as much as it did here in Minn today.It got up to 36 and snow turned to rain/freezing rain,and now straight rain.What sucks is tonight it is all gonna freeze,then more snow on top of it all.

Spearfish is a wonderful town to relocate. In the door of the Black Hills, the people are very sweet and down to earth, fresh air, and mild winters, but fun and eventful summers.
