[sudo-discuss] Fwd: [omni-finance] EBC roof fix quote & skylight quote

[David Keenan]

I spoke with mike:

- new material: is elastomeric & EDRD rubber - thick liquid rubber that
when it touches roof material it bonds with it

- he will also install 3x new roof drains in addition to existing drains

- the current 12-day forecast following tonight’s sprinkle he says is rare
in rainy season and the ideal time

- the new skylights he quoted are remotely operable (open) and come with
remotely operable shades as well

Yar, sorry I must have forgotten - there’s just so many projects and some
of this coordination is ad-hoc

Best,
David
