What do you do with those stacks of of old, damaged or just plain bad vinyl records you came across at a garage sale or in your aunt's attic this summer? If you're Nashville musician Matt Glassmeyer, you use them as shingles for your porch roof.

Glassmeyer attached 350 damaged records to the frame of his deck roof, each with a single roofing nail.

As Lloyd Alter points out at Treehugger, the vinyl records may not withstand heat very well, especially if they are in direct sunlight. But if the trees do the work of keeping the sun out, these old records should do an excellent job of keeping the rain out.

Not only that, but the records would make for a great conversation piece as you wait out those drenching Tennessee rainstorms.
