Roof Girl, I am smitten...

After the hail damage, insurance provided coverage. How it is time to get some quotes. I had the best one in Tejas come out to quote me. I have to say, not too often do I get smitten but the young lady that they sent to measure and quote was amazing.

Now mind you it is over 100F again today for the 22 straight day. She gets out her ladder and climbs up and starts measuring. She is up there for awhile. She comes done and we sit in my kitchen and she proceeds to work up the numbers. She isn't wearing any make-up. This girl glowed! She started in the contracting biz with her Dad and Grandfather when she was 14 and has done it sense.

What a fantastic personality as well. Real down to earth and easy going. I told her I wanted to take her pic cuz I take pics of everything and everyone. She told me that she had been asked in the past to do some pictures for brochures but always declined. She just didn't think she was pretty enough. She did have a nice manicure though so that tells me she does have a femine side. Agh, a girl with low self image? A late bloomer maybe? Hmmmm....

My wife says that I am an old fool worthy to be laughed at and that young pretty thing wouldn't give me the time of day. She prolly is right but a guy can dream right? I told her that if I was 15 years younger and single that I would be chasing that till she caught me! My wife is many things but jealous isn't one. She knows that I propose no threat more than flirtation...

pics omitted/deleted...

And she doesn't mind having her picture taken either, so it seems...

Nothing is more attractive than a girl who is pretty without makeup.

Did you tell her that you were going to post her pics on a car board for comments? Don't think she would have gone for that, really...

She is very cute and pretty in a wholesome way. There are a lot of pretty girls in Texas, I know this because so many move here.

I had a similar situation a few years ago....
My parents went on a cruise and left their car in my driveway. They were due home and I went out and the battery was dead in their car. Couldn't find my jumper cables so just called AAA for help. About 20 minutes later, here comes a BIG tow truck, the type that tows 18 wheelers! This girl jumps out from behind the wheel......short-short cutoffs...t-shirt that was cut off just below the boobs....perfect body.....long blonde hair...tan...big blue eyes....adorable smile.....
I was looking around for the hidden camera. This has gotta be some sort of Candid Camera or "punked" show. Nope. She was the real deal. Pulled the cables out of the front bumper of the big-rig and hooked up to my parents Caddy. Looked at me with the...are you going to start the car or what look. I was still standing there with my tongue hanging out not believing this was really happening. I'm sure she thought I was a vegetable. Car started, signed the paper, and she left.
NOOOOOOO CAMERA!
I seriously thought about letting the other cars battery go dead just so I could call her back!

Don't kid yourself into thinking posting them on the internet is the worst thing he's done with the pics. They're sturb material for sure.

I'll bet that company gets the job...


I'd also bet she never comes back.

She's probably posting on a "Roofers Forum" a thread "Weird Homeowner, I am so creeped out!"..

A trite concept but too true....

Where can an older guy find an attractive girl in her 20's who is interested in him?

Try the fiction section of the book store...
