We started on Friday and worked until 9pm on Memorial Day. I have helped other friends in the past with roofing, but I have to say that this was the worst one.

Keep these tasty brews in mind for any free labor that you may need in the warmer months. Your "hired" helpers will really appreciate them. I know I did.
