Fisher Brothers installing shingles

We work with many subcontractors who specialize in certain trades, roofing being one of them. I enjoy doing the hard physical labor of roofing but my back sometimes gives me trouble so I personally only occasionally get involved in the actual roofing. Although I did personally stock all 180 bundles of shingles on the roof last week.
We did a job for a customer some time ago and I noticed the roof was very professionally done. I enquired who did the roof and eventually made a connection with the Fisher brothers. They are 5 Amish brothers who started a roofing and siding company called Sunrise Exteriors. The brothers are Steve, John, Daniel, Amos, and Paul. Great guys with a wonderful sense of humor who enjoy hard work.
The temperatures the past few days have been hovering around 95 degrees and extremely humid. The Fisher brothers just kept right on going, doing an excellent job as usual.
Daniel, one of the brothers has not joined the church so he is the designated truck owner and driver. Daniel is the one who is not in black pants and not wearing a shirt.

Looking great! It's beautiful, M&D! Enjoying seeing the progress. The only house-building progress taking place here is the sunflower house in the backyard... It's time for a photo of that, I know.
