Hey Panhead, hope all is well with yourself and your family.

I forwarded that info on the local roofers union to my buddy. Hopefully he'll do something with the link, but probably not.

He wanted to do my project with me, I told him the job was his if he showed up, guess who didn't show up? Guess who's mad when I talked about paying for labor?

BTW he's white, but I might be considered Mexican in some willfully ignorant circles.

Also, moving right along, I found a bunch more rotted out shit and way more to do! Whoopee! I'm running out of money so fast that its better if I just don't think about it. I'm almost to the point of having to dedicate my 'grow room' budget to my 'living accommodation' budget.

Oh well, got a lot done today.

im a 3x loser lol " convinced felon " no one would wants me to be a doctor or anything important to where i can make more money
Damm man dont sell yourself short over a felony , ive got a much worse record than you & had a fantastic career in construction that took me all over the world .

You really should get away from that scab company you work for now , get yourself an education in the roofing trade , learn industrial roofing systems & techniques & get yourself a Journeymans card in the trade .

Once you learn the trade & get your card you'll never be out of work again , after you finish school you'd be knocking down $1,500 a week plus a kick ass pension & $5k to $10k a yr vacation pay .

Roofing is a highly skilled trade that pays well but shingling is the lowest skilled & lowest paid part of the trade , shingling is a job where roofing is a trade , you should really give that company a call & get started tword a career where you do make big money .

Of those roofers I've had contact with, they all said they get paid by the square. Is this not the industry standard? They seem to prefer it that way. But every roofer I've ever met was an alcoholic, too, so what do I know?
Just for clarification calling somebody who installs shingles a Roofer is akin to calling somebody who only installs pvc plumbing a Plumber .

Industrial & commercial roofing is extremely complex , especially on huge factories that only have 1 roof drain every 200 square & complete tapered systems are used to make water flow uphill to a drain point .

Shingle installers get paid by the square , Commercial & industrial roofers get paid by the hour .

You say that you're this exceptionally hard worker and yet here you are on riu, day after day, all during the day, typically when "roofing" is performed. You make racist, narrow-minded, and inaccurate generalizations about immigrants, Mexicans in particular. You say that you don't need to know grammar and punctuation while also implying that those who don't build things aren't really men. You're hostile, saying that you'll give your address to someone you've never met before to come fight you. You then go on to almost brag about your felony status and your juvenile delinquency. You post a picture of your company truck, online, to a group of strangers. You post a picture of your "girlfriend", online, to a group of strangers(I'm sure she would appreciate that).

I gotta say Gunnar, with the amount of marbles you've got rollin around in that noggin of yours, I would say you're doing damn fine for yourself at 500 something per week and if I were you I would consider myself very fortunate. Actually, correction, that's not true, if I were you cell for cell, molecule for molecule - I'd be a self-entitled, white trash, whiny little bitch. :peace:
