How do you put things together with hammers?  I always thought you needed nails as well. 

Hammers are those things they used to use to apply nails, before nail guns 
I will note that I was MUCH younger then !

Some of the prices on these hammers nowadays is outright scarey.     Titanium heads with aluminum handles.  Cha Ching$$

Ya, know TAB I think I would have just rented a laddervator to get that stuff to the roof.  Back in the day, I worked for a residential contractor who had 200 Simmons concrete forms.  They were the 2 footers by 9 footers.  So we reckoned that they each weighed about 108 pounds.  Then the guy had all the outside and inside corners and fillers too.  One day at this filthy mud hole of a basement job, I alone unloaded 7,000 pounds worth of forms off this guy's trailer and then dropped/spread them out in this hole for the basement.

I think I learned a lesson that day.  Never go to work for a guy who has been hurt more on jobsites than you have.  That guy doesn't give a crap about his own welfare or safety, so how do you think he is going to treat you?

We put a new roof on the house a couple of years ago.  I thought it was one of the easiest home-improvement projects I'd ever had.  All I had to do was write the check when the guys finished and have a cooler full of beer ready for them at the end of the day.

on most of the house I work on, there is no room, this house was litterly too the side walk, trying to get a permit to shut down a side walk here is big bucks( about $4 a min) and extremely hard to get.

Why not?  It's not like they were spending their OWN money.

think thats bad, look at some of the nonferrus deadblow hammers for used around power plants.  a 10 lb hammer is around a grand.
