I’ve cleaned out 7 and 8,000 sg.ft. houses after sheet-rock had been installed. In 85-90 deg. heat, humidity about the same.

Been there, done that! Full tear off each morning, insulation placment, overlapping felt-asphault over that. Section by section. When it was all done we pushed the pea-stone carts.

It was dirty exhausting work. I had a blast doing it and a great summer.

One day at lunch one of the "old timers (30?)" said to me: "you go right ahead and get that college degree of yours. Mark my words - one day you will be sitting in your office with your secretary on your lap. You will look out of your high rise and see a roofing crew mop slopping around the tar on the top of another building. You will look down at them and lament, "that could have been me... that could have been me""

Very disappointed at you joe....no picture for Louis Prima. You must be too young. Not necessarily being too young is a bad thing. I mean it in the most friendly way. :O) But it does leave a hole in your photo bucket.. hope too much doesn't leak out....

Perhaps I missed something, Dn - is this a pretend conflict or are you just particularly annoying?

Call someone else. Those days are done for me.

In Alaska there was a company that drove a truck called the Turdinator. Got to have a sense of humor if that is your life long work.

I spent a couple of summers of my youth "hauling hay", i.e., Picking up 150 - 175 lb bales, loading them on a trailer, then unloading/stacking them onto a haystack.

Pay = $1.25/hr. Well, it was 1962.

That's when I decided to go to college and become an engineer.

I did this for 11 years, made 16K a year back in the middle 70’s. Only reason I did so, wife had a baby, then another and another. I paint houses now, much easier work if you can get it in this economy.

NO, we hand delivered it. No machine for us, occassionaly a forklift on apt complexes, but window deliveries happened maybe 3 times over 11 years.
