Snap-on guards are the worst. I had the same problem—first big wind and half of them were in the neighbor’s yard, the rest were bent up like potato ch...

I tried to talk my wife into a green roof once—she just stared at me and asked if I planned to mow it too. I get the quiet thing though, because our c...

Funny, I had the same moss problem with my old asphalt shingles too—looked like a science experiment by the end. Switched to composite last year, and ...
