Father/Son Roofing Team

That is my walking buddy Doug on the right, posing with his son Jeff.

It was my second day on the roof. Me, Doug, and another guy named Bob worked from 9 until about 5, and Jeff showed up at around 4:30.

We went through the messy job of ripping off the old roof, taking up all of the staples, and then proceeded to lay some new shingles. I was the "feeder", keeping both nail guys supplied with product.

Tough work. I feel like every one of my 64 years. At 5 p.m., Doug kicked me and Bob off the roof, and I came home and cooked dinner.
