This my picture test thread, and while I'm at it, I figured I don't post many pics and maybe it's time I showed a little of what we do. Always been envious of Mike NZ's picture library and about 6 months ago, I started having the guys take daily proj>>>

I agree with the comment encouraging use of the photos on your web site my question is must one take the sAt test to gain acceptance into the king's kollege of estimating ?>>>

I'm seeing where owning your own crane is a huge advantage on this type of work. I've done a few of these honeys in days gone by, it's just slow work. Ain't no such thing as a bad job to do, if'n you figure enough manhours and can get the price of it>>>

This is why I prefer to toil on slanted surfaces. You avoid the hard hat and oxford cloth crowd turning your workspace into an optimized multi-use platform.

Flat and steep roofing are two different animals. A flat roof is essentially a swimming pool wit>>>

As contractors, we need to be sure we're working for the right reasons. For instance, there's the 4 R's: -right customer -right job -right margin -right location

Right Customer: Cooperative or combative, common goals or different agendas, pays on ti>>>

I do agree with that assessment. The wind in the sails issue is a big one. I'm not interested in trying to distinguish myself when I say this, but I observe that some people are blithe. It never occurs to them that they might be simply wasting their t>>>

These jobs take the wind out of your sail just poking your head over the wall. It is hard as a roofer. You have to put production out of your mind and resolve to the small portion that is today's work, and take an attitude of "Every hour pays the same>>>

Mike, you see a roof like that and you see opportunity and a challenge. I see a roof like that and it just makes me tired. No wonder you say nobody can do it all himself. What a niche. When a niche is a crevice...man oh man. Those jobs are HARD!!! (>>>

Wow!! Now that's a lot of penetrations. You're probably get a few hundred bucks for that one. ;) :laugh:>>>

MikeNZ,

I'm not sure what the Derbigum liquid system is. After Siplast (Icopal) came out with their PMMA (poly methyl methacrylate), or liquid lexan, everyone started offering something. There is a base coat of resin, then the redundant layers of poly>>>

Not much gets past Lefty, even if he's claiming to use only one eye...

Nice job, Mike. I know my stuff, but you're in a differnet world. But hey, that's why we look up to you. And then... think of the possibilities if the two Mikes could get toget>>>
