Pounding nails with Dad

Anyone out there ever done any shingling? It’s pretty fun…and a welcome change from the computer. You’re outside, getting a tan, wind in your hair, pounding nails, scraping up your knuckles on the shingles until they bleed, hoisting 75 pounds of shingles on your shoulder and climbing up a ladder. Ahhh…that’s the stuff.
