[Shop-talk] Partial roof repair?

[scott.hall at comcast.net]

yes, I replaced a fairly large chunk of the roof on a house we bought when it developed a leak.  it was on the back of the house and maybe four people have seen it since then in five years.  however, I walked into lowes and happened to find the exact same kind and color of shingle on closeout for some insanely cheap amount.  I'd at least look around a bit and see if you can match it.  additionally, they'll weather and fade to made pretty quickly.
