    when i was coming back from job interview, i was nb 1-15 about 2 miles south of cajon scales and saw this flatbed hauling roof tar paper rolls on the shoulder of freeway. saw that his forklift was off sitting behind trailer. driver was undoing his trailer straps when i saw the front half of his load fall over. lucky it fell towards passenger side and not the freeway lane. the rolls were loaded on end and two rows high. i assume that he pulled over due to his load shifted and was unhooking it to rearrange it when it fell over. noone else was involved and he wasn,t hurt. way to hot out here being in the 100's to have to deal with that bs. didn,t see what company it was

    Extreme hot temperatures can make working on a roof hazardous and uncomfortable for workers; yet another reason for planning a cool-weather roof project. The advantages to roofing a home in Spokane in the fall are endless. Most homeowners use metal roofs. Metal roofs protect homes from extreme weather events with durable, attractive solutions that reduce the homeowner’s carbon footprint.
