Going up there to build the roof? Yeah, glad it wasn’t me either. I supposed this didn’t take long to finish. I have a tip for you: if you want this new roof to last, be sure the branches of the tree doesn’t scratch the roofing materials and the leaves won’t be left to decay on the surface. Ruben @ ARRoofing
