I agree it's the hottest, working on a roof with hot tar but I don't agree its the hardest. try sheet metal.

Roofing in Texas was no cake walk, but the hardest job of my life was at a cement plant. They would lower me down a silo with a 45 pound jack hammer, using a crane, and I would have to break up the top layer of cement that hardened. Did I mention it was around 1200 degrees in there? And I was wearing a flame resistant suit? All this for $4.50 per hour! What a blast that was. Good times, good times .

Doing "hot job" roofing is hard and tiring. My Stepdad was a roofer. Came home burnt from the chemicals in the pitch. Brick laying, concrete work and digging ditches are probably the hardest in addition to that.

I have built homes from the ground up, done every job personally that it takes to bring it from grade to turn key. I would rank them......
1. Roofing when its HOT
2. 15 + yards of concrete
3. Digging footers and grading
4. Drywall without a lift
5. Insulation when you are sweating

I've never done it. I did however, have a new roof go on today and it's 100 degrees here. I felt bad for them...has to be miserable up there!
Keep up the good job!
