Heard back from one of the companies I emailed about our roof. Here’s more or less how the exchange went:
Them: Before we send out an estimator, I have a few questions.
Me: Okay.
Them: How old is your home?
Me: 54 years.
Them: How many floors?
Me: Two - ground floor and a loft/attic.
Them: And what type of roof do you have?
Me: Slate.
Them: Pardon?
Me: It’s a slate roof.
Them: I mean is it shingle, steel, copper...?
Me: Shingle, I suppose. The shingles are made of thin slabs of slate.
Them: No, sir. Shingles are made of either asphalt or fibreglass.
Me: Have a nice day. *click*
I chuckled over that for an hour, so it was an amusing day.
