I knew you were meant to be a roofer all your life.
You can always put food on the table and keep a roof over your head if you're willing to do manual labor.
You'll never starve.

I would never wish a natural disaster on anyone but a little hail storm never hurt anybody.

He doesnt even have to do the manual labor. Quote a price and sub it out...... kinda like flipping, without the car.
That's funny, Stan.
It's way worse than that. I hire people to quote a price & sub it out. Well, I used to.
Now, I just settle the big commercial claims as a hired gun.

I get it trust me...... My company hires a roofer/sider, he subs it out to a foreman who subs it out to a crew
Yep, that's how it works.

Plays with cars.
Waits for hailstorm.
Sits in den and makes a phone call.
Goes back and plays.
Nice.

Not even close, my friend. I told you before that I make cold calls almost every single day. I'm launching a brand new business from scratch & that aint for the meek. Some days I want to assume the fetal position on the floor underneath my desk.
2013 was a sluff-off year for me but that party is over. And, I still haven't been paid for any of the storm work that I did last year. Commercial claims take forever to get settled.
The thing that is really weird about this is we have had slightly less than average snowfall this year. Only about 85" so far.
We are usually the snowiest city in the US, (2-3 feet more than Buffalo to give you perspective) but this year we aren't even close.

Really John? "2 to 3 feet more than Buffalo"? Huh.... never knew that....
Yea, people think of Buffalo as having more snow, but they don't. They tend to have more snow in the beginning of winter, where our snow is heavier in January and February.
Just northeast of us is the Tug Hill plateau where they get even more snow..
