Assuming you have a typical
day on the job, what does it
look like? There is no typical
day. Each day can vary quite a
bit depending on the job and the
weather. For a typical London
house, my crew and I arrive
early, and we start with a five to
10-minute warm-up. I lead the
warm-up myself to make sure
everyone is ready to be on a roof
and lift heavy things. Once the
blood is flowing, I go over the plan
and goals for the day. Everybody
gets a clear job and a timeline and
then then we get to it.

We come off the roof as little as
possible, but there's no shade on
a roof so I have to make sure my
crew don't get burned out.
We usually stop working after
eight to 10 hours, but as a team we
sometimes decide to put in a long
day if it means the crew gets some
extra rest the next day. A lot of
this depends on the weather.
What has surprised you in
year one of your business? I
am not surprised by anything
because I knew this first year
would be scary, and I knew it
would really challenge me. And it
has! That being said, it has also
been very rewarding. I look
forward to my continued personal
and professional growth.
