melking":13ox39u3 said:A short, and hopefully no too boring story. In 1973, I had a contracting business in Indiana. One winter we had a pretty bad storm and couldn't get around much. We lost better than a week of work time. In order to make the time up, we were roofing a new house we were building on a bright January day. It was so cold, that if you missed the nail, the asphalt shingle would shatter. One of my guys was cutting the plywood straight on the edges and ran a circular saw right across his fingers. Luckily for him, he only nipped the end off of two fingers. I came down from the roof that day and vowed that after that house was done, I would never be cold again. I packed up everything I owned and moved to Florida and I have never gone back.

I must not have learned my lesson that time as the forklift is long gone and I'm thinking about doing our new house this next summer.
I was stationed there and mostly what I was doing was drinking my brains out. But it really is (was) and intersting country. Beauty in a strange way and I really got along well with the locals.Dogs and Cows":2xiybmyo said:dun":2xiybmyo said:After a year in Iceland I made the same vow.

Hey Dun...if you don't mind me asking, what were you doing in Iceland? It is one place I would love to visit.

Roofing is just one more of those things that look just so dam easy when you're watching someone else do it that knows what they're doing....Put a hammer or nail gun in my hand and I would ruin the entire house.M5farm":2jwr697z said:skyhightree1":2jwr697z said:My hats off to all roofers...

Nail size matters. The house I did kind of resembles an inside out porcupine if you crawl up in the attic.TexasBred":kkzogfw2 said:Roofing is just one more of those things that look just so dam easy when you're watching someone else do it that knows what they're doing....Put a hammer or nail gun in my hand and I would ruin the entire house.
