Matching Roof Shingles

Hi, We had a bad wind storm that ripped a bunch of shingles off out roof. The house is a double wide with an attic. The company that made the shingles no longer makes this type, so I have to improvise. The local lumber store says it's hard to get 36" shingles since they've all gone to metric a ...
