Are you Proud to be a Roofer?

Are you a roofer that sometimes feels like running off and starting a different career. Don't run from it ....embrace it. We've all been blessed with the oppurtunity to roof for a living. On the hardest most miserable days on the roof....I try to picture in my mind how it would feel to be a guy in a wheelchair watching us roof...knowing he'll never have the chance to see the views we see and sometimes take for granted. He'll never be able to walk away from the job each night looking back at what we accomplished that day. Some careers involve a lot of paperwork or data entry into a computer, but at the end of the day..what they produced is sometimes just temporary. What we get to produce each day may still be there 20 / 30 / 50 years from now. Providing protection and shelter for the occupants and the items inside. Our occupation is as important as any other career. Surgeon's / lawyer's / hospital's / scientist's. They ALL rely on roofers to succeed. Is the surgeon going to climb up on the roof when a roof leak is flooding the surgery room before a major operation. Probably not....but a roofer sure will. And always remember to work safe, and appreciate each day on the roof, because we are all only one fall away from being that guy in the wheelchair looking up at the roof..wishing he didn't take his job as a roofer for granted. I've was told before that I could never get on a roof again because of multiple non-roofing related head injuries. My love for roofing and a lot of hard work got me back on a roof again, but those injuries I overcame made me appreciate every second I'm up on a roof again. Roofing isn't for everyboy, but if you have that little bit of love inside for roofing.....embrace it. Say your a Roofer...and say it with Pride!
