How cool is this. RCS has some Russian followers on Instagram and Savros.ru kindly allowed me to share. The caption in Russian was loosely translated: “Savros House, the roof on which is made by the students of the children’s school Savros. The work was done by children aged 10 -15 years. installation was carried out by the older students. The whole workpiece was made on the Edelweiss mini machine.”

This important message borrowed from our friends at South Coast Shingle, Long Beach and Laguna Niguel, California.

Aaron Roethle from Washington writes, "Believe it or not these are the same shoes! This is what putting your feet through 10,000 rounds in the octagon looks like... roofing’s tough on everything lol!”

Mmmmmm, PVC is Yummy! Roof Medic in North Carolina writes, "It is very important to keep the trees around and over your roof trimmed in a manner that discourages animal activity on your roof! Squirrels eat plastic? Squirrels are cute, rat ninjas! If given the chance they can damage quite a bit without you ever knowing it! Check out this pipe vent that a squirrel went to town on!”

Really cool shot we found on Nearmap’s website. Hint: Most of the world is waiting for it to be built!

A fun photo for Flat Roof Friday. Total Roofing and Construction in Illinois got a new toy! "Hoping to intertwine #360 cameras abilities within our process and more! Stay tuned.” Thanks for sharing.

Thanks @EWinter of Instagram for letting us share.

Roofing Humor graciously provided by our friends at South Coast Shingle, Long Beach, California.

The best thing about visiting a foreign land? Seeing the different roofs! Forget the masterpieces. In Germany, if it’s asphalt shingles on the roof it’s this scallop design with metal edging - How interesting!

Found this little gem in Sisters, Oregon. Seems a group of quilters fixed up an abandoned building the only way they new how. Don’t throw those old jeans away. They could be the siding (and roof stitching) of the future.

Roofing is not just for Roofs anymore! What are some creative uses that you have seen?

“Bring on the storm!” Determination and daring! That’s our message from Excel Building in Barrhaven, Ontario.

Funny Story… A long time ago we were the Roofers Exchange but that wasn’t working out so we became RoofersCoffeeShop.com The reason is immortalized in the 1997 cartoon drawn by our friends at South Coast Shingle in Long Beach.

November 1992 - “Long Reach. Lloyd Free stretches from a cherry picker to work on the roof of an apartment in Coeur d’Alene. When asked if he had prior experience, he said ”Well, I've finished the other side”.

We Love Roofs & Roofers Happy Valentine’s Day from RoofersCoffeeShop.Com

This old buildings shake roof seems to be coating with some really thick gray coating. Almost looks like a simulated roof but for the randomness of the shakes. Wild!

Record breaking Icicle! Got one to share?

Victor Rubio shared this Summer message with us on Facebook. “I love roofing”. We thought we would post it now so you remember what it was like to be warm - really warm!

What interesting thing did you roof today? I would bet you didn’t install a snake roof.

Is it just us or is this roof…tilted?

At this time of year we would like to give thanks for all of the supporters of RoofersCoffeeShop Our readers, contributors, partners and all the hard working roofers out there. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. (Hey it’s got a roof and a turkey!)

Have you ever noticed that besides the scenery this is the view you see the most?

It's rough out here.. Even my hammer's angry! (Thanks again Aaron Roethle for pointing this out).

Have you ever been on a roof that made you want to cry?

45' from the ground this morning we noticed our newest apprentice, Kermit the Roofer! I'm not inviting him back though...after he peed in my hand and my hat. Thanks Slator LLC for letting us share.

"Just wanted to pass along a commercial I saw. My wife informed me that I am the only person that would ever notice the repaired valley on this home. I disagreed. Why would a commercial not find a miniature house with a uniform roof?” -Chase Kirby. Dear Chase: Not to start a family feud but pretty much everyone that reads anything from the RCS would notice that first.

"Organic - it isn’t black or white!” Thanks Joel Kelly for sharing this Algae example with us. Wow!
