And you can just roll it out and let it lay there.Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976144449873569523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-29396660303469479862009-10-29T12:20:13.712-04:002009-10-29T12:20:13.712-04:00Ours was done in late August in the one open weath...Ours was done in late August in the one open weather spell we had. I notice the comment about dumping the shingles into the truck. So did our guys, but they missed a few nails. So the truck has a nice, new tire. Grrr. JG went out with a powerful magnet and went all over the lawns, drive and parking area and found quite a few more.<br />And yea, power nailers are nasty. Not just the pop, pop but the sound of the generator.<br />It is forecast to stop raining by Monday. Sigh.MARY Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178370815712313585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-14024502921170972522009-10-29T10:25:35.044-04:002009-10-29T10:25:35.044-04:00AC,

Guess our roofers are behind in progress, but they did a fantastic job.<br /><br />Enjoyed your posts of your holiday and also the video of the salmon spawning.<br /><br />Wishing you a great day. It's not raining here but is very overcast. Yesterday was also a wet day here.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-39881107534508801222009-10-29T09:23:57.533-04:002009-10-29T09:23:57.533-04:00When we had ours done it was at Least 140dgrs on o...When we had ours done it was at Least 140dgrs on our roof but they kept on working!

I am fortunate enough to be renting and the housing company I rent from have only recently renovated the whole neighbourhood, including the roofs. If I have a problem with my roof now, I phone up and then they come and fix it within a few days!Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04464946195661953578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-61219741021584790152009-10-29T01:46:57.895-04:002009-10-29T01:46:57.895-04:00A/C we had a real housing boom in Alberta until th...A/C we had a real housing boom in Alberta until the last year and half...I live outside the city and I tried for 3 years to have the inside of my condo painted and new floors laid....I was finally able to have the work complete in March of this year.

We had never had a new roof put on our house anytime before until a couple of years ago, hail, hail, hail, everybody in town got a new roof. We have a high pitched roof and the insurance examiner said, "I can't get any higher I see enough, you get a new roof too." There were roofers coming from every direction. Some shams too, we had the best though and thank goodness.<br />QMMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
