I forgot one negative associated with my metal roof. Woodpeckers. I had a mentally challenged woodpecker on the roof in the morning that seems to have decided that rapping on a metal roof was like a rooster's call. What a racket. At first I couldn't figure out what the noise was. It sounded mechanical but I couldn't associate it with anything that I have in the house. I finally figured out that it was "outside" and went out to check. The little twerp was sitting on the end of the house banging away. He kept it up for days, for over an hour, and I assume he finally bent his beak and gave it up. He had been at it over a week last year. He came back this year but only once or twice and not for so long. His beak probably still aches from last year.
