Homeowner group sues man over metal roof: "The Treemont Homeowners Association has filed suit against Joe Sigel, who installed a metal roof on his West Austin house. The association has a rule against 'galvanized steel sheet' on roofs, but Sigel says he has used 29 percent less electricity during the warm months with the reflective roofing."

Interesting issue--I don't recall seeing this situation before. From the look of the roof, I wonder if it is blinding on a sunny day. If the whole neighborhood did the same thing, you could probably see this block from outer space.

When a lot of these HOAs go belly up, there will likely be plenty of homes with galvanized makeshift roofs.
