Be clear about the fact that my guy, with two helpers, can easily rip and replace 15 squares in one day, provided they can walk the roof.

On this house, they busted their asses...........ripping all the cedar, hoisting all the plywood up 25 feet, laying down plywood, paper, and ice and water shield, laying the 17 square. It took six guys to do the job and they split it over two days, working about six hours per day (it was in late June and the temperature was up).

I got a damn good deal on the labor because I know him.
thats crazy, what they charged Kerry's insurance seems like it borders on fraud personally. Im surprised an adjuster signed off on that price.

I don't want to spend that kind of money on this little cabin, I was thinking a comfortable weekend of relaxing hammering and ripping shingle with the GF, also with lemonade and sandwiches eaten in the shade.

maybe with a few friends roped in to help, followed by running down the street and jumping in the lake.
