A few pics of a church we shingled last week.

Getting started.

The Crew..from the left, Gerry, Rachele (KeyChains), Me, Megan and Lilttle Dan.

We had just finished a nice fat joint..double high.. Me waving.

Doing the steeple...that's NOT me up there.

The girls at work...and Gerry.

Finished the church in record time and got a bonus of a days golf, with pay.

KeyChains and I smoking, drinking and golfing.

Working my ass off here just so I can make it for 420 next year....

Not afraid of heights then "Trad"

That would scare the shit out of me!

Looks like a cracking job you and your team did there! .... free pass into heaven you'll have, or does "Amsterdam" count as heaven!

One would think you liked to get high while you work.

Enjoy

That sounds ominous Chiller2, have I revealed a little too much???..

They are a great crew, hard working...we do a 2000 square foot roof, tear off the existing shingles, install new ones, clean the grounds and we are out of there by 1:00pm...lots of laughs AND not hard on the eyes either.
Makes the day go rather nice....

trad ... i have a question - is the term "asphalt shingle" still in use ???

back in the early 70s i spent a hippie summer in maine usa re-roofing a couple of barns ... we used asphalt shingles which came in packs, and climbing the ladder the full height of the barn with a pack of asphalt shingles draped over one shoulder (they were slightly bendy) was a difficult few minutes and used to scare me something wicked each time

but you got a great view once you were on the top and great satisfaction when we would finish a roof

the best part was at the end of every day, we would drive in the pickup to the local general store and head for the cooler and get a number of bottles of nice cold beer, then hang around the back of the pickup drinking and chatting before heading home for some well-earned dinner

it was a great summer and your photos took me back there ... thanks for this thread of yours, it's very enjoyable to see people working hard and then playing hard

I also spent some of my younger years as a roofer, you do get different perspective up there, also did some chimney sweeping.
