[RE-wrenches] Need info resource re wind & hail damage

[William Miller]

Allan:

I have some resources for you right here:  don't get involved in marital 
disputes.  Consider this:

They, collectively, either want PV or they don't.  Until they agree they 
want solar, you are wasting your time siding with one against the 
other.  All of the evidence in the world will not change a mind that is not 
willing to change.

Good luck.

William Miller
