We have been working on a beautiful cedar replacement and much to my surprise we discovered a wild honey bee colony. Now this may not sound like a big deal but I can tell you this is the first wild colony I have crossed on a roof in at least 30 years. My first few years of roofing it wasn't uncommon. So seeing this is so special both the owners and I decided to see if they could be saved.

I was turned on to Kyle Lemaster and he made it happen. Super cool and now we can proceed.

Finally we had good weather this week. We punched out three this week and now I am dead on my feet.

I added another crew this year, my goal is to not get behind as we usually do.

So far so good and I am thankful everyone of my guys is born here. I truly hope I can keep it that way. We risk losing our trades for our future generations if we do not find a way to keep these Jobs American.

I know everyone sees some sunshine and gets thinking about their roofs and it is great to get proposals and stuff this time of year but installing should be held off a little unless it is an emergency. We still have a lot of sketchy weather to come and newly installed shingles will not only not seal but they also risk dust and dirt from the fields getting under the tabs which will prevent the shingles from ever sealing.

Also, no shingle manufacturer approves installing below 45 degrees. Sure it can be done but it shouldn't be unless you have to.

Spring is coming soon.

Beware of these “roofers” going door to door. In particular if they are not local . They are likely immigrant pimps and just want your money. They will dub it out to the immigrant crews and you will never see them again if they mess up. Also there is no scheduled price increase at the moment so do not fall for the “we can only guarantee that price for 7 days BS”.

Obviously I cannot speak for every but generally I can hold my prices for a very long time. There are exception like plywood , etc that are commodity based but my point remains. Reject high pressure sales

At least it has cooled down. But here we are back on the lodge again for a couple weeks.

Some may recall a week or so back when I was baffled at how many roofing contractors do not re sheet over pine board. Well today we have a perfect exhibit about why. This particular house was roofed by a contractor we occasionally see on TV out of the Davison area. I believe it was 4-6 years ago but my memory isn’t always perfect, time flies. But anyhow blows offs and uneven deck are what you get with old pine boards that have had several roofs nailed to them.
