Re: IML: Garage

[alacaria@xxxxxxxxx]

Hey;

I took some advice from the site. I contacted my builder and told them 
about my worry of condensation that it may drip down from the roof onto my 
cars. I told him that I had received some advice from my Imperial club site 
and I was warned about the possibility of that happening. he said that was 
correct. They are going to put on a traditional wood and shingles roof so I 
will have a metal building with a wood roof and asphalt shingles and no 
extra charge!

Thanks Everyone
