Only if you are a Cal Tech graduate. That puts you and me outta the running.

I've been driving Ford trucks for a goodly portion of my life, trust me I've had my share of wrench time. I prefer oxy/acetylene these days. I was entertaining cutting up my '86 Ranger and tossing it in the dumpster after having the A4LD auto tranny rebuilt three times in five years. 
I gave up roofing before I was 23. Anyone roofing past the age of 25 has a death wish or rocks in their head.

Three times in five, wow. Do you still have it? And I thought you were still roofing.

I torched it in the parking lot.   Funny story there. 
I had a '97 F250 Super Duty after that and now I'm driving a '03 V6 Ranger longbed. I don't buy new, that's for suckers.
No roofing for old men. I haven't nailed a shingle other than a minor repair in thirty years. Carpentry/ plumbing, you name it. If it's in a residential property, I can fix or replace it. My favorite jobs are pre 1900 homes but those are a little scarce. Bread and butter involves mostly rental properties.

You'll have to tell us the story sometime! I don't buy new either.
Roofing looks hard. I once did a lot of work to a house built in the 1880s (like my car work, a hack  ) and it was interesting. Not only were the exterior framing timbers all different dimensions but nothing was plumb or square. The windows appeared to be built on site and doubled as the opening framing. The trim peaks on the front windows looked like this: _/\_ and each piece of wood was cut multiple angles in every direction to shed water! With a lip in the back to boot. Ditto for the flat porch roof (Victorian). I have a ton of respect for those old craftsmen. When I need a hand I'll give you a call

I already kinda addressed this in the "curdle your blood" thread. So here it is again:
If I were dictator, in capital cases there would be a sentencing option. If found guilty of murder 1, life in prison without the possibility of parole or, death. The immediate family of the victim would have the option. It's their business. I'm still thinking about whether the family would have the option of determining the method.
I'm remembering a terrible case some years back where the perp raped a little girl and then drowned her in a mud puddle. I remember thinking, if I were this kid's parent, I would gladly put this guy's face in the mud with my hand on the back of his head.
Expansion completed.
