Hammer & Nails
I had a portion of roof patched last week. Couple GenX druggies showed up all
set to blast ****** music while they shot staples with gun. I told em to turn all that **** off and use hammer and nails. They packed their truck and git. I got my neighbor and we replaced a couple pieces plywood, tar paper, and roofing myself. Took me a total of 2 hours. No power saw needed, no air staple gun ****, just hammer and nails. |

You were a fool to hire druggies, or that you could have done the job yourself and tried to hire someone anyway? -- Joseph Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math |

Greetings, Based on MilkyWhy's post (although admittedly slightly incoherent) I don't think he knew they were going to be druggies. He tried to hire someone else-- probably because the job took two people or some other reason of convenience. MilkyWhy didn't like his workers and couldn't stand to watch them perform a bad job (MilkyWhy's opinion). He ended up doing the job himself, the right way, with a little help from his neighbor. Hope this helps, William Frankly my take of Milky was that he is just a troll. "Joseph Meehan" wrote in message ... MilkyWhy wrote: I had a portion of roof patched last week.

Hope this helps, William You've been trolled by MW. Read the post again, and you'll figure it out. Hint: "music while they shot staples with gun." Which means, they already had the roof tore off, and were installing either the plywood or possibly the shingles. Me thinks MW needs their daily dose of meds. |

Greetings,
He says they "showed up all set to" ... "music while they shot staples with gun". He doesn't say they actually got around to using a single staple. Hope this helps, William PS: All the same it is probably a troll. wrote in message ...

It would be like putting the cart b/4 the horse. Hope this helps. Eddie |

Andy adds: I have read this thread. I'm glad the initial poster did what was necessary to get his roof repaired and saved himself a couple of bucks. I think he could put those saved dollars to good use by considering colonic irrigation.... Andy |

Sounds like a bigot venting off steam.
