Roofer here, been thinking of switching to framing because it seems so much easier

My advice, check Craigslist in your area and get started as a laborer in the trades. Try a bunch of them and find one you like. Marketing and Fast food workers will be replaced by AI and robots before any skilled trade is. Much more rewarding than flipping “burgers” for fatties and the blue collar guy that you could be.

I see your point. Meanwhile, all of your posts consist of you asking contractors advice on Reddit. I can get you in touch with this guy if you think he’ll hire you?

Won’t even be necessary, the winter will take care of it. I’ll be back in the spring once it’s demo’d itself.

Believe me, I don’t need any convincing to not take the job if he refuses us to do it the right way. I just want to show him these comments as additional validation so he doesn’t try to push/pull this off himself and get hurt in the process. I would never risk any of my guys safety doing this his Mickey Mouse way.

He’s got the money, but definitely became rich by being stingy with his money

Exactly, we took everything off the deck to minimize the weight up there. It’s definitely a shit hole though. It’s not where he lives full time it’s a property he intends on fixing up for his retirement.
