5. Durrrl, 4-evah.
Any man who can have three R's appear consecutively in his name must be a good roofer.

14. -
See post#9

This was a play off of the "Favorite Carpenter" thread. I didn't have any idea that there were roofers unions.

15. Aw, I'm not offended...

I think people are lots of fun to look at (and laugh at even, if they don't know we're doing it!)

These guys ARE pretty goofy-looking lined up like that! :D

17. some of the best and worst people i've ever worked with were roofers..
Brian Giles of the Padres used to work with the hot crew in the shop I was at. Those hot crew guys were some of the funniest mofos I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Of course, I was one of those prima donna shinglers. Man.. I don't miss that work at all!!

18. I can't say that I have ever been paid to drive a nail
though I did work in a lumber yard and yes that is some HARD work.

The art of driving a nail is dead, the air guns ended that.

Per your post above-yes "Skunk" prolly is the gofer.
