You never seen someone do roofing first hand? It first depends on the type of roof we are talking about..

This sounds retarded


Then you won't be nailing shingles because it is as much of a tool of the trade as a hammer.

Flat roofs different story. Who is the employer, where is the job and what are your qualifications?

This is actually how its done (in addition to ropes).

Make sure you know which end of the hammer to use on your first day.

You sound like you'll have a bright future in the industry.

You'll want to kill yourself up until the moment you fall and die.

They make $40 an HR here in the Seattle area. I would never be caught dead in that line of work.

Don't hire lazy mexicans who will throw all the shingles in front of the houses' entrances.

The physical aspects of the work are grueling...however, there are absolutely some elements of craftsmanship in order to do a quality job in a reasonable amount of time.
