Re: Another metal roof... "Inexpensive metal Roof..."?
I'd like to wrap the house with Tyvek before winter, and I'd like to replace the bad panels, then just go right over it all and treat the siding as plywood, and put some form of vinyl, or steel siding on top of it all.

Flattening, and sealing particle board sub-floor
