"These are some old school 3-tabs I come across from the cabin in north Joshua Tree CA. This is the brand. There super thick. Thought it was super cool that they were still in the package” They look suprisingly good, especially because Joshua Tree is in the Desert! How old are they? Thanks @EWinter of Instagram for letting us share.

The best thing about visiting a foreign land? Seeing the different roofs! Forget the masterpieces. In Germany, if it’s asphalt shingles on the roof it’s this scallop design with metal edging - How interesting!
Found this little gem in Sisters, Oregon. Seems a group of quilters fixed up an abandoned building the only way they new how. Don’t throw those old jeans away. They could be the siding (and roof stitching) of the future.

Funny Story… A long time ago we were the Roofers Exchange but that wasn’t working out so we became RoofersCoffeeShop.com The reason is immortalized in the 1997 cartoon drawn by our friends at South Coast Shingle in Long Beach.
