   Two years ago I was quoted $90 psf (no typo that's per square foot) for copper roof on a hip roof cupola. Needless to say, It didn't happen.

   *7x8 you could do it yourself if you have a brake -- would almost pay to rent one yourself for a day to get the job. Copper sells for $2 sf same as the price per pound -- there's a pound in each sf. Fool with the brake a while and you'll see how easy it is to do a 7x8 job -- use copper nails.

   *I did one about that size a couple of years ago. It had 2 hips. With all the flashings and copper gutters on 3 sides, the total was about $2000.

   *Flat seams will need to be soldered. If you plan to do it yourself you may want to experiment with your soldering technique as well as with the brake.

   Need some cost info on flat seam copper roof installation for ballpark estimate. It's a small roof - 7' x 8' w/ copper flashing on (2) sides w/ copper drip edge.
   Single story w/ a slight pitch.

   The plans call for sleepers, foam insulation, etc., which I will do, I just need pricing for the copper. SF & LF pricing would be great.

   Thanks!
