   heh, just ribbing ya with a quality shot.

   Guy out here was asking me about a roofing job on his place. Asphalt shingle nailed directly over slate.

   Had to tell him I'm not set up for major roofing jobs.

   I once worked inside a place that had two layers of asphalt shingles nailed over slate.

   And the lady with the bees had the re-roof on her 1910 placed started by a meth head who laid GracieI&W right over cedar shakes and started laying the fiberglass archies on there 'til she caught him.

   Wild stuff going on out there every day.

   Yup some characters try and get away with unbelieveable stuff at times !

   Thanks for resizing the Penobscot pictures last week. I don't know what got into my Irfanview there  - they have always come in around 200 kb before.

   Okay, I gotta ask... How the heck do you nail anything over slate???

   I'm imagining#16 spikes and slates shattered like, uhhhh... something that really shatters.
