it is now day 10 of the roof. this will be the last day. i brought in heavy equipment yesterday, something that probably would have saved me 5 days if i would have gotten it at the beginning of the job. that’s another story.

here’s what i’ve learned:
1. the other things i’ve worked on in my house are easy and do not taunt death like the roof does
2. thinking that one misplacement of a foot means catastrophic injury is tiring after several days
3. shingles are evil, a product of a fallen world where toil is king
4. i see why a quote for this kind of job would have easily been 8x what i spent doing it myself
5. there’s a certain appeal to one-story living
6. the next time will be easier (yeah right)
7. i will never get any faster climbing a ladder
