I have a friend who runs his home, his life as a business accountant. I was shocked to discover he knows how many rolls of toilet paper he and his wife use. Aside, she uses far more than he does-HUH?

In any case, I was shocked. We mostly all have ranch style homes. Translates to large roof per square foot. His home is not particularly large a typical tar shingle roof runs like 25,000-OUCH
