Slate roofing and steam heating

Since I'm a complete n00b here and can't offer much in the ways of investment knowledge, I'd like to just offer up my experience and research on slate roofing and steam heating. I'm as close to an expert on both as I am on anything else, so please ask here before paying someone completely unqualified for bad advice. Mine is good and free.

In most cases, expensive repairs or replacements of slate or steam is unnecessary. In many cases, a new, $7000 roof replacement due to a leak is a $150 fix. With steam...well, its almost always expensive, but rarely is replacement needed. Just an understanding of the (seemingly) complex physics at work.

I'd love to save you money and preserve your property's history! Feel free to post in this thread or start a new one...
