A friend of the RCS plunged through a soft spot in a roof a few months back. There are so many lessons in this image. It’s a reminder that accidents happen, that roofing is inherently unsafe, to pay a little more attention at the next safety meeting. Our friend Aaron is lucky, he is alive and will roof another day. His lesson for us “Make the best of everyday, and treat people good cause it could be your last.”

I would like to give a shout out to Off Shore Shingle in Massachusetts for sharing this photo entitled “A proper felt lid”. What we thought was interesting was the red lines. I asked about it and they responded. “It’s nylon string stapled to the felt to help secure it for weather and for safe walking”. I have never seen this before but it makes good sense. Who else does this?
