[BlindHandyMan] I am done with the roof.

2007-10-21 Thread robert moore 
My friends garage roof is not finished but I am.
Last weekend A friend of myne from out of town came down to help with my in
town friends garage roof. We had to rip off all of the roof boards on the
west side. I did not get involved in the ripping off of that side. I was on
the east side taking off the 3 layers of shingles. Yesterday Lonnie and I
finished re sheeting the west side and started putting on the whether gard
which is a 3 foot wide roll of rolled roofing with an adhesive back. Wow
that was a real pain. Today we finished up with the tar paper and we got all
of the rolled roofing put down on the west side. Then it started to rain so
I climbed up on the roof and tacked down the six inches or so of the rolled
roofing that extended past the peak of the roof. I did not want to nail it
down because the roofing that was going to be put down on the east side will
need to be run undernieth it and if I nailed it down it would get tourn up
when the nails were pulled out to tuck the east side roofing undernieth, so
what I decided to do was to just fold it over the peak and lay 1  by 4 board
on top of it along the edge. That way when the 1 by 4 boards got pulled up
the roofing would be loose and not damaged.
I am 46 and the guy helping me is 56. Now I don't consider either age to be
what I call old, but as far as roofing goes, I was reminded why some would
say that roofing is a young mans job. I mean 20's and if you push it maybe
early 30's.
It was hard work but I like a challenge so that aspect was gook.
I said the roof was not finished but I was. I mean that my friends son is an
over the road trucker and when he gets back he will have to find a friend to
help him finnish. I hav had enough fun for a while.
But I suppose he will get in a time crunch and cry for help I and I will
probably end up back on that dambed roof again. Well if that happens I will
go up on the roof fresh and there is not that much left to do.
Any one that says a blind man should not be up on a roof, Well parden my
language but they just don't know what the hell they are talking about. It
is no more dangerous for a blind man than it is for a sighted man.
There is a certain amnout of risk for either but not more for one than the
other.

If any one needs there roof done please give me a call.
I can find you a good roofer.
Grin.

Did you hear about retired football player Max McGee who was killed as a

RE: [BlindHandyMan] I am done with the roof.

2007-10-21 Thread robert moore 
Max
Thanks for that bit of news.
Really makes me feel better. I will keep that in mind.
When I reach 75 I will make sure to quit doing any roofs.
Grin.
But really. Things like climbing up on a roof can be very dangerous. I am
always very cautious when doing things like that.
My father and mother raised 4 girls and 8 boys and When he had the auto
salvage yard he always told us the three most important things when doing
any thing out in the yard were  safety, Safety and safety.
So if any one ever thinks aboutgetting up on a roof and helping out. I won’t
tell you you shouldn’t but never ever ever get careless or over confident.
Robert

I have helped with 3 roofs, myself.  We didn't have guns but had to 
use hammer and roofing nails.

You got that right.  I would also add that if you're
uncomfortable getting on the roof, or have a problem with
heights, don't go up there.  Tom has a problem with heights, but
is OK until he gets close to the edge, so I'm the one that goes
up to clean the gutters.  When I get about 6 feet from the edge,
I sit down and crab walk to the edge, and deal with the gutters.
It may not be the fastest way to do it, but I still get the job
done.  Speaking of gutters, I guess it's that time of year again,
huh?  We had our gutters clog up, then freeze solid one time.
That was a fun job!

I guess you do it the way you know it. I would much rather
stick my hands into a running 700HP race motor than climb up
on the damn roof. Since they restricted passengers to three
drinks on a two hour flight I don't do airplanes anymore
either.

HI, Yes the roof thing can be lots of fun. Well I heat my house about 90 
percent of the time with wood. So about every two months or so I go up on the 
roof and clean my chimney with a chimney brush. That was not to bad tell two 
years ago I had a metal roof put on and now in the winter it can be really 
slippery..
