new found respect for roofers...

[yne721 10+ year member]

if any of you are roofers on here, i don't know how you do it.

my job as a painter can be pretty physically tough sometimes, especially during auto show season, but i just spend the last two days helping a friend out doing a 5000 sq ft roof and I woke up today and my whole body is stiff as a board.

i don't know how you can do it everyday.

so props to you roofers.

Just like anything else (running, lifting weights, reach arounds) your body gets used to it after a while.
