It may be an optical illusion but that looks like a tough climb for a car.

One of the companies in the Upper Keys, The Coconut Doctor, hit the Texas coast yesterday. They took 8 guys and started working today.

Before and after pics of Crystal Beach/ Bolivar Peninsula. One of the hardest hit areas on the Texas coast.

The answer is simple... live in water towers.

Does anyone know the name of the roofing company who did this house? I'd like to hire them.

 

[sotc]

haha, seriously! thats a great ad!

 

[Paul B]

totally!!!

'we roofed this house, who did their neighbors?"

 

[arborworks1]

Good looking out on the roof. And the guy that built the lone house on that beach front. Good ad campaigns all around

 

[SkwerI]

Some more info on that lone house left standing on the beach. It was rebuilt after Rita and designed to withstand a Cat 5 hurricane.
