It’s always interesting to see how other specialty trades perform their work. Metal roofing is a unique trade all by itself. Great work!
From a retired Pipe Fitter this is a great moment to remember the work I have done and enjoying the construction industry. The work of a Sheetmetal mechanics is hands-on plus the mental knowledge to do complex work. My hat is off to this skilled trade.
That last section was put in a year before I was born. GREAT JOB guys! I am also a Plumber/Pipe Fitter and like to see tradesman do it and do it right!
This is so cool reminds me of the time I worked for a roofing company and had to replace someones roof which hasn't been replaced in almost 100 years!_x000D_ _x000D_ -Rich
