Well of course YOU did. I am not getting up there. I do the ground work. Pick up shingles, cut to fit, run drinks and make meals.

Any chance your husband says "You can't do that," so you say , "I'll show him?"

My husband tossed water bottles up on the roof. A guy from work helped me, we tore off shingles, replaced decking and covered it with roofing felt the first weekend. We roofed it the next two weekends. I’d come home from work and go up on the roof until dark.
He not only said I couldn’t do it, he poured gasoline on the fire by telling me, YOU ARE TOO OLD! I was only 54.

No one should ever accuse him of being a dumb guy!

That husband of yours is smart like a fox.
Roofers wanted $17,000. After a hurricane, the prices go up. By doing it myself, paying my coworker, materials, I got it done for under $4,000. Now who's the smart one?

You're plenty smart Bay, but I still vote for your hubby, he knows which button to push ''you're too old!"
