Interested
I am not interested in this occupation at all, I do not like heights because I am tall enough as it is. I also am not skilled in any of those things that it said I should be able to do, like climb and read blueprints and stuff. It is also very dangerous, because some roofs are very sloped and steep.
I was reading your article and wondered if you had considered creating an ebook on this subject. Your writing would sell it fast. You have a lot of writing talent.
