Kim running the Laddervator, Philip is gone after shingles just around the corner, heck all these guys is camera shy anyways

That'd be Kenny roofing and Benny C. supplying

My wife Kim down there smiling for the camera, (she's the K in CK

Kinda thinking though, If all these guys are working, and all's I'm doin is holdin the camera, it can't be all bad all the time.

Disclaimer, colors do NOT depict true colors of the shingles.  These are Certainteed, Burnt Sennia

I always admired a fellow that had enough gumption to spend the day on a hot roof.  

The K in CK is a lot better lookin' than the C. :D

I've always thought the real pleasure in tearing off shingles was..., well, uh, geez, you're right.  It plain old sucks.  Sure does feel good to have a brand new roof over your head (specially when you got a layer of felt right up to the ridge like you did).

As much as I hate roofing, mostly because I can't line up shingles, I will say Engineer has you beat in the least favorite hobby catagory.  :D

I plan to saw a little more wood so I can pay to  have my drywall hung. Talk about incentive to make a little more lumber. I prefer to help my drywaller send his kids to college.

Hmmm
Shoveling a 300 yard driveway because I couldn't get the plow truck started would be number one on my list >:(  >:(  >:(  >:(
Closely followed by drywall >:(  >:(  >:(
Then roofing >:(  >:(
and wall paper >:(
However I don't mind laying down shingles if someone else tears off the old ones ;D and I think next time I'm gonna go with a steel roof.

Hanging drywall is easy with a helper. Those 16' x 5/8" can be a pain, but not bad.
Finishing drywall just plain sucks! >:(
