HELP


All the plywood being damaged by water leaks, my god I can't believe I didn't have more leaks. :rolleyes: The fact I couldn't trust them in removing my satellite dishes nicely so they can be re-installed just by looking at them. :eek: The shingles delivery truck damage waver signature needed before they can deliever... All in all thinking you're going to need a driveway all said and done. :( All the banging nailing giving my a headache :( Nervous about turning up stereo too loud as I don't wish someone to visit me later when its quite and no ones home ;) :rolleyes: But being close to my 357 Mag is priceless. :D

    God Bless you sir, that got to be one of the hardest, hottest job in the world. I love anyone who does this for a living. :)


    If you can tell it something I would ever do for a living you're so correct.

    Roofing is one job that no matter how much the pay was.......I would NOT do it.

    I'd rather be homeless living in a cardboard box listening to a battery powered BOSE than to roof for a living. F that!!!

    All you need is a JLG Boom lift. A 600S would surely do the trick. Our biggest one does a 150 feet easy, and it will creep at 2-4mph if you so choose to drive @ that height.

    Geez, remember being a young buck when i first got into construction 25 years ago, i framed up alot of homes, and did my share of roofs. No boom trucks, or conveyors, grab a bundle and head up 2 stories lol. Sometimes making a game of it, 2 80lb bundles on your shoulder and see who could reach the top first! Real safe huh? Those days are over, havent done a roof in awhile now. But if i do thank god for the boom truck!:)

    Boom truck????? I've never seen one around here. They push off a couple
    of pallets of materials off a truck a day or two ahead of time.
    Then a crew of guys shows up and goes nuts. It's loud.
    Nobody but the lead guy speaks English. Welcome to the modern
    age. First time I had it done here, the crew was pretty rotten.
    My wife(she was a realtor) found a crew for the 2nd re-roof that's pretty good. They
    clean up after there mess pretty well, and were able to strip and
    re-roof in a single day. They have done a lot of repair work for the wife
    on homes for sale. A dependable roofer is one who's card you keep!

    Yes, 10x10 covers 100 square feet. roughly 44 squares.

    You'd be impressed to know how many cutoffs and checks we have in place to prevent tipover. Ive taken them up to the max, and yes its gets scary but Im proof positive, these machines are safe.

    I know they're hard to tip over, just wish the JLG's were a bit smoother. Even in crawl mode, they're quite jerky compared to a Genie. Both get the job done, though. I've been up at 150' on a windy day...white knuckle ride for sure.

    Our roof needed replacement back in 2003, so we scheduled it and went to Europe for three weeks. :D

    I found a couple nails in the backyard when we got back. Great experience!

    Worst thing you could ever do. They presumably took the old roof off... you have no idea what they found underneath or how they covered it back up.

    Anytime you have a contractor working at your house, BE THERE!.
