The nice thing about roofing is it's more recession proof. People don't NEED to replace their carpets - but when the roof starts leaking, they need to fix it.
Frame carpenters, finish carpenters, installation plumbers and electricians aren't needed so much in this economy - but roofing is constantly degrading no matter what.
Lousy work tho.

Good thing Ronnie can keep paying his mommy rent now  |
All of the big companies and a lot of small ones are chasing storms. They pay better, there's virtually unlimited work in years like this and you can go from NY to TX when the winter sets in. Also, the people that aren't running a mom and pop don't do anything but organize, some of them have 100+ salesmen in multiple states with a manager and office for every location. I'm just wondering if he's working locally or storm chasing but since we have been sparring since 2003 he probably thinks I'm just fucking with him.
