Great post, Moose!
I've been considering a metal roof for our place, but Judi can't stand the
'industrial' look of most of the local offerings.
New Zealand, eh? Source of one my favorite knives - a Svord friction
folder. See it here:
https://www.knifecenter.com/item/SVO150/Svord-Peasant-Folding-Knife-3-inch-Carbon-Steel-Blade-Steel-Zinc-Handles
A little awkward in the pocket at first, but super-fast to open one-handed,
and a great blade.
Note: I think I got my last one through Amazon for less money. Best cheap
knife I've ever owned.
