Welcome...
Framing carpenter and general construction myself. In my 50's to boot.
Getting too old for 12/12 roof pitches and climbing trusses like a monkey, but Mr. Clean is right.
Kids don't want to do that work anymore.

They see it as mexican work.

So far they stick to shingles and sheetrock here.
Although the nationals are using whoever the hell they can get.
Major labor shortage in Twin Cities in all building trades.

My favorite was a Mexican roofer who had all the thick clothing in 90 degrees sporting a cowboy hat and walking the roof in cowboy boots.
Cant believe that SOB didn't fall.
