    Roofing Jobs

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Bucket of SafetyMy boys are ALL boy.  Just ask my local librarian who found my two year old at the top of a book shelf. My boys love construction work, big machines…  all that “boy” stuff and I have resigned myself to this fact.

    Last week we had the lawn chairs out on the sidewalk, popcorn in our bowls, and Sippy cups out as we watched a roofing company roof the house across the street. The team of 15+men tore off shingles and put on new ones in one day!

    But one thing that concerned me was one man with a rope around his stomach, bouncing on the roof like a rock climber. I can’t imagine what a fall would do to his internal organs. I wanted to take a picture to show you all, but my camera doesn’t have a good enough zoom.  A bucket of safety would’ve easily (and inexpensively) taken care of this accident waiting to happen. I just don’t get if -they can buy the pricy, pretty trucks & matching work shirts – why can’t they buy some safety equipment?
