Its become more than a job for me; this is my family. This position was my first experience with the (roofing) industry, and I fell in love. When you take a moment to consider that what we do as an industry, is protect our customers most valued possessions, the importance of our work becomes clear.I still feel new to the roofing industry, so participation with the MRCA and especially with the YCC has shed light on the challenges we all experience every day. We are such a niche industry, it is great to be able to network with people who know and understand the work we do.Kitchen Surface CleanerBeginner DIY Recipe! 16 oz Glass Spray Bottle2 cups distilled (or filtered) water2 TB cup of castile soap1520 drops of lavender, orange, or peppermint essential oil www.mrca.orgMidwest Roofer 11'
