Hi Don,

Actually, that reminded me of something... It is a fact that roofers
around here are actually still getting the same rate for a 100 sqft
section that they were 25 years ago.

The difference is that today they are using shingle hoists and pneumatic
nailers, so they are covering a lot more square footage for the same
amount of effort.

As I said before, YMMV.
