You are kidding right? You *have* to be.

No. *I'm not kidding.

I have a hammer. I have nails. I have people. If it's only about
the price of labor, why don't I just do it myself?

Many people do that (do it themselves).

The biggest issue is having a few extra people to get the job done in
under 2 or 3 days.

Contrary to popular belief, most DIY's don't have access to 4 or 5
"friends" who are willing and able to put down their keyboards for a few
days straight and get all roughed up and bruised to help tear off and
put up some shingles.

Oh yeah...maybe it's about quality of workmanship, know-how and
someone to call back if there's a problem.

Now I ask - you're kidding - right?

This is roofing we're talking about. *It's not rocket science.

And if you were any kind of man, you'd be up there on your roof with
them - performing your own examination and being critical of their work
WHILE THEY'RE DOING IT. *Maybe even give them a hand, moving bundles
around, helping with the chalk lines.

Well, I guess it's true...they really will let *anybody* access the
internet.
