so they could have them when ever they needed them

4. Insurance is paying for most of it. I think we are only going to have to pay 1,500 because we upgra

upgraded shingles and our deductible

10. I used to work for a roofing company during my summers off from college.

That is hard, hot, nasty work!!

We used to work with our shirts off so we all had killer tans from the waist up. Also, I was in amazing shape at the end of the summer!!

12. My dad's place had a complete re-roof a few years ago.

The old roof was really bad, so they replaced the plywood all the way around the edges of the roof, in addition to tearing off a couple of layers of old shingles, etc. They quoted four days for the whole job, but it was done by lunchtime on the second day. Fabulous deal too, and they didn't make a mess. A bunch of our neighbors have used the same company since then, because they did such a great job for us.

It wasn't hot though- we had them out in early November. I think that's why the job went so fast- more guys available to work in the slow season.

13. funny you should mention this

Today when I was gardening, I found a piece of roofing in the soil. Not uncommon.

And I had my roof done 8 years ago!
