Good day y'all, nice thread you got going here; it's made really interesting reading, very helpful too, considering i'm more or less involved in some building work.
I've got a question and i'd be glad if some thing will be made clear to me.

Our house is in the roofing stage now and my mum is typically fussy about the kind of roofing sheets we should use. Initially we planned on using metro tiles (if that's what they're called --- the ones with some coarse coating) as against aluminium step tiles (i hope you understand my amateurish description). Now she's worrying about totally frivolous things like whether rain water from the first kind (metro tiles) can be drunk --- she has a fetish for such traditional practices.

Also, she seems to have been sold the idea that the aluminium kind lasts longer than the 'stone-coated' kind. I don't agree with her, but my opinion doesn't count as expert advice. So now that i've come upon this thread i'd really appreciate it if these questions are answered.

I'll state them again for the sake of simplicity:

Is rain water from stone-coated/metro roofing tiles drinkable?
Do aluminium step tiles actually last longer than the stone-coated kind?

Thanks.

Can you drink run-off water from
stone-coated sheets and aluminium?
Of course not! But why will you want
to drink run-off water from your roof?
