the roof is done

After a week and a day, the roof is finally done. This is a good thing becasue I am tired of my hands smelling like shingles. I am also tired of wearing clothes that smell like a mixture of sun tan lotion and sweat. Somehow that combination equates to the scent that used to permeate the camper we used to use on vacation. I am also one for not taking more than one shower a day.

I wore gloves after the first day because by the end of that day, I had 3 busted open blisters and a bruised hand. Come the end of the project, the gloves made me look like a hobo, because they had no finger tips left, with a hammer and a utility knife scuttling around a roof.

After the first couple days, I got sunburn which continues to itch right now.

It is very monotinous roofing a house. Reminded me a lot of my temp jobs. I'm really not looking forward to doing to again anytime soon and hopefully I won't.
