during the mid-winter months we do the 25 buck a month car wash thing. Unlimited washes and for the couple months of marginally ugly winter here its nice to rinse off the salt and muck.

Yeah it's a good deal. I love the "laser touchless" ones it's like a disco.

 

[ZRH]

That's fucking cheap.

She makes more than me, 4-5 houses a day 7 days a week for light dusting and scubbing the toilet. Like...

Well if the touchups suck, then you need to paint it.

The roofers finally caved and are substituting standing seam for the other stuff (which still hasn't come in).

Standing seam doesn't have a color. It might be metal but standing seam is just lead or copper soldered together.

A standing seam metal roof is just that - metal roofing where the seam interlocks above the roof deck without fasteners. It has nothing to do with soldering or lead or copper or whatever wild-ass shit you've decided it means this week.
