I used to do roofing, framing, and siding too for a living. Had a business doing that too before OSHA made things so miserable to do. Safety sucks when roofing. That harness and dragging that stupid rope around...no thanks. I was towing at the same time.I used to show up at a bare foundations and when I left it was framed, roofed, sided, doors and windows in. I painted too but I hated that. I can also do electric, ran my own service in here and rewired the house but never did that for a living just know how.

I did some mason tending too as a favor, told I am good at mixing mud, moving block and stone for chimney works suck hard too.

Sounds an awful lot like my history. And you're right about OSHA and the government, although it's usually the idiots that make it hard on honest and smart contractors. It won't be that long when the little contractor will be run out of town. I took the "lead based paint" course, to the tune of $500. Mostly over the top fear mongering and drama. And while we do wear harnesses on a second story roof, the regs call for all kinds of safety devices for anything over 6 ft. I'm hoping to stay in it just long enough to retire, cause I won't want to keep up with all the crap for much longer.
