Happy birthday brother.
glad you made it to 58.
Im 43 and a roofcarpenter, my body already feels like its breaking down.
i still have 20yrs left of this ish.
Lucky i love what i do.
You’re a roofer? Or roof carpenter? Pretty much the same thing I suppose.
What’s up brother? I only did 2 seasons in the union and I got out before it was too late.
All of the journeymen said I made the right decision. And they’re making 60, 70, 80K. Foremen are easily making 100K. They all hate it. I still have yet to meet a roofer who loves the work. You’re the first one to use the word, “love.” You must be crazy, or you just strictly do detail work or patch jobs with zero big job tear offs.
Yeah I make less pay now, but my body is happier and healthier. I do miss the drinking with the brothers during lunch break and after work though. The nature of the job forces you to drink it seems.
