i bought a metal cap at home depot for around $100- it's on the roof-

i am not on the roof alot- the tree trimmer guy put it up for me for some fee- but it wasn't 2000... he brought a bucket truck- and trimmed trees and did that- and it was like 800 maybe ? ** Edited by bigbadbird at 4/16/2024, 9:22:39 AM
