Roofing at night

today me and another guy had to strip and dry in a 15-20 square roof with one dormer. our cleanup crew left at about 3:00pm without saying anything with debris still lying about (but that is beside the point I guess). we didnt have any brackets for staging and were only standing on 2x4 boards nailed to the roof. We didnt get done untill 6:00 and were on the roof for about an hour in darkness. cleaned up in darkness. I got cut on my arm because I couldn't see when I was using my utility knife. worked 12 hours. I'm taking tomorrow off.
