Man I will roof no more, forever.

Complete! Looks pretty good if you ask me.

Got finished yesterday at about 4pm. Cost me 2200 dollars. For material, dump run, and I paid the guy that helped me 40 bucks an hour(He roofed for 5 years before the Navy and now working at Subase Bangor)He wanted to work for free. I said Heck no! The cheapest quote I received was 6500 dollars.

Very nice indeed! Everytime I see a bird ${\?! on my roof I want to get the gun. You definitely get personal about it when you hand-laid-every-single-shingle....not to mention carry every one of them up the ladder!

LOL! No doubt. It did get personal! Crazy how it ends up like that, but it just does!

Looks good! It looks nice and straight - great choice on the shingle too.

Looks great! $6500 for that? I would start roofing for that kind of money.

It gets expensive. My firewood shed was $15 a bundle and only that cheap because they were leftover shingles in a barn that smelled of cat pee.

That was a hot day. The building eventually de-funked itself.

What is the deal with the CTS in there?

Nice work, btw.
