    I ran into a friend at the diner this morning that had 50 pounds of new sheet lead in his trunk for me. He also has a 5 gallon bucket of plumbers lead scrap. He's also checking a contact for tin for me too. It was worth giving him some of my coated boolits. Working on another guy that works for the village to watch for lead pipe on water main repairs. He's interested in some boolits too. I like bartering for stuff.

    We'll the roofing vent boots were sometimes called roofing jacks. They are in reality not roofing jacks. Just a slang term I've heard used. A roofing jack actually is a platform with locking plates that give one something to stand on while working on a roof.

    Some manufacturers still refer to their roof vent flashing as roof jacks. Guess they don't know any better.
