I left for work at 6:30AM. When I returned at 3:30 it was done and cleaned up. The wife said, to the best of her knowledge the workers were Mexican and they worked their butts off.

I'm wondering about the roofing contractor,. how much of a work force they have, if any. I'm sure, documented or not, they are fair game. ICE doesn't care.
