^ I used to do roofing as well. My grandpa and dad had a family business. I would roof during the summer when school was out. It's hard work. After the big contractor boom in NC we went out of business. They had always collected toys, baseball cards, and sports clothing, so we opened a sports shop back in the 90s, which also went under. People just don't collect like they used to
Then we went back to roofing, fixing shoddy work that the contractors had done. using air tools and nail guns on a roof just doesn't cut it. Sometimes old school is the best practice. Grandpa turned 70 and decided he no longer had any business on a roof. He's 74 now and still does it on occasions. Dad wouldn't let me take over the business because I was diagnosed with a rare eye condition (why I'm disabled; legally blind now) which is becoming more common. Said I had no business on a roof. He later folded and started working for GKN in their precision forming department making half shafts for cars.
