That's awesome! As a roofer I've hoisted way too many thousands of pounds of materials up onto roofs. I want to know how to get in on the helicopter action... and more importantly, where do I find the customers who can afford the helicopter method? For a little more roof humor, try www.RoofingOgdenUtah.org/ Great video shows how to get a person on a roof.
