Not sure I buy the idea that there’s just no way to keep clippings contained, honestly. I used to think they were like tiny ninja stars, bouncing off ...
I get what you’re saying about grounding, but I’ve heard a few electricians mention that a metal roof doesn’t actually attract lightning any more than...
I’ve seen it firsthand—my uncle’s house had those cheap 3-tabs, and after a decent hailstorm, it looked like someone went at the roof with a baseball ...
That glare thing is no joke——I’ve seen it light up a whole driveway like a disco party at sunset. Makes you wonder if the neighbors need sunglasses ju...
