  • My roofers used a magnet to collect them. I found maybe two or three after they left. I checked recommendations on Nextdoor app, and got three quotes. The owner came out for the quote, got up on the roof to inspect, and he was also there for the job. 2000 sf roof, they started at six AM and were done by lunch, they had another job after lunch. I’ve seem some roofs in the neighborhood take three days.

    I was very happy with the job they did. $12,000.








  • Once, when I was flying on stand-by, I missed a flight because it was full, and had to spend ~14 hours in the Honolulu airport, because I couldn’t afford to get a motel room, or anything else. All I had in my pocket was the return ticket. All I had was the water from the water fountain. The next flight I got the very last seat, and it was in the smoking section. Ugh. But, I took it. Fortunately, I was so exhausted from getting almost no sleep the previous day, I slept through the entire flight. It took hours to clear that shit out of my lungs.
