Blade (archaeology)
In archaeology a blade is a type of stone tool created by striking a long narrow flake from a stone core.
Blades are defined as being flakes that are at least twice as long as they are wide and that have parallel or subparallel sides and at least two ridges on the dorsal (outer) side. Additionally, a tool must be part of an intentional blade industry in order to properly be considered a blade; tools which show the characteristics of blades through variation but are not intentionally produced with those characteristics are not considered true blades. Blades became the favoured technology of the Upper Palaeolithic era, although they are occasionally found in earlier periods. A soft punch or hammerstone is necessary in creating a blade and their long sharp edges made them useful for a variety of purposes. They were often worked to create scrapers or burins.
Cores from which blades have been struck are called blade cores and the tools created from single blades are called blade tools. Small examples (under 12 mm) are called microblades and were used in the Mesolithic as elements of composite tools. Blades with one edge blunted by removal of tiny flakes are called backed blade.

What do I want my readers to take away from my blog?
a. A new perspective on things they've probably thought of before.
b. A feeling of community, like they aren't alone in this world.
Words to describe me:
book lover, occasional movie nerd, introvert, lover, fighter, non-domestic diva, occasional baker
Words to describe my blog:
journal, my stage, a place to gather my thoughts on the topics of the day, a place to display my passions
Important events in my life:
meeting Joe, getting engaged to Joe, adopting Harley, adopting Snickers, finding out I had sisters, battling addiction, overcoming addiction, buying our first house, admitting I had bipolar disorder.
How all of that comes together:
I use my blog as a journal of sorts because of my introverted nature, and to make sure I don't fall into the trap that is my brain again. I liken my blog to a stage as well so I can display the things I am passionate about without feeling like my voice doesn't matter. Meeting and eventually marrying Joe has made me realize that no drug can ever make me feel as validated as he does. Being "human mom" to Harley and Snickers has made me realize how much others rely on me. My hobbies help me feel normal, especially when my brain is trying to make me feel anything but. I get lost in books and movies so I don't spend all my time in my own brain, which is a scary place to be sometimes.
Why I'm Here:
I'm here to make you, my readers, realize you ARE important, and that you DO matter. You have worth, as a human being, as a member of this planet. And occasionally I need to remind myself as well.

Bio and Links
My intentions are not to disrespect anyone living or deceased. Myself, like most people on FAG add information for genealogy purposes and personal reasons.
Obituaries are public information and are extremely easily found. I was told obituaries are not the property of the newspaper because they are written by the family and paid for by the family to be published in the newspaper because the family wants the information to be public knowledge, therefore it is not a copyright infringement. If you want privacy, my suggestions is to not publish a public obituary at all. I can and will delete memorials and information if approached nicely, but I can just about guarantee you that someone else is going to add it later and they are not going to ask for permission to do so. If you want to be ugly then go on face book and be ugly on there, that way people can delete or block you and your ugliness! TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED!
FYI: Most everything I have entered on FAG was taken directly from the "Cemetery Records of Yell County" which is available on line with the stroke of a key. In reality what myself and others have done is connected the families back together so no matter where they are buried or what their last name is they are easy to locate.
Sometimes there are mistakes in the cemetery records that we document, sometimes we make a typo mistake. It happens! I will correct my mistakes if you will let me know. FAG is like a big puzzle that we all work on together. If you do your part, the puzzle starts fitting together.
I started on Find A Grave on a mission to find out information on my Grandmother(Dollie Coffer Apple)and her family, I am at the same place now that I started, but hopefully that will change one day. Along the way I hope to help create a historical recording of those who have passed, especially for those with nothing but their name written on a piece of paper somewhere noting their final resting place. Hopefully my effort will help with not letting them be lost forever.
THANK YOU to all of you for your many kind visits and messages. I so very much appreciate our wonderful family here at Find-a-Grave and every visit and token left at my family FAG sites! I would like to say very special "Thank You" to Patty Valentino. Patty makes many many visits to my family members and leaves some of the sweetest notes. It really makes my day to see she has made visits to family members.
Remember me as you pass by,
As you are so was I.
As I am you soon will be.
Prepare in Life for Eternity.
If you come across an Angel..
Every day, in the world around us, real-life angels are doing the things they do... and bringing more smiles to the world around them.
Real-life angels build bridges instead of walls. They don't play hide-and-seek with the truth, and they don't have hidden agendas. They tend to be the only ones who understand what you're going through. if they sense that you're hurting, they do whatever they can to help you.
Real-life angels understand difficulties and always give the benefit of the doubt. They don't hold others up to the standards they can't live by themselves. Real-life angels are what "inner beauty" is all about.
Real-life angels don't hold things against you; the only thing they hold... is you. They take your hand in theirs when you could use a little reassurance. They walk beside you when you could do with a little guidance and direction in your life. And they support you in your attempts
to do what is right.
Real-life angels multiply your smiles and add to your integrity. They make you feel like, "Hey, I really am somebody who matters." Then they quietly prove to you how beautiful and true that feeling really is.
If you come across an angel like this, you are one of the luckiest people of all.
If someone in your life is wonderfully like an angel to you, it's important to let them know. It's the nicest compliment you could ever give... in all the days of your life and in all the years that you live.
- Douglas Pagels
Time may hide our sadness like a smile can hide a tear, but memories last forever no matter how many years
When the tears start falling and you dont know what to do, Think of all the tender moments your Angel spent with you

This person was part of the Puritan Great Migration.
|If you are interested in this profile,
please check out the Puritan Great Migration Project!
- Thomas (1608 - 1690) was baptised 29 Apr 1608 Chew Magna, Somersetshire, England.[1]
- He emigrated from Chew Magna, England to New England where he became the progenitor of many descendants. His name was variously speled Minor, Miner and Myner. Many of those surnamed Minor or Miner living in the United States are descendants of this Thomas of Chew Magna, England. [2]
- In about 1683, Thomas received "An Herauldic Essay on the Surname of Miner," by Alexander Cunningham. The essay purports to trace Thomas's ancestry back to the 14th Century. It also states that Thomas had 12 children: John, Thomas, Clement, Manasseh, Ephraim and Judah Miner and two daughters Marie and Elizabeth. (The two additional children are Judah and Elizabeth.) You can read the "Essay" HERE.
- The 17th century "Essay" traces Thomas' ancestry to Henry Miner (d. 1359), who lived in the Mendippe Hills, Somerset, England, at a coal mine. In 1342 when King Edward III, preparing for war against the French, came through Somerset, he found that Henry had equipped his household and menial servants with battle-axes, making up a "completed hundred." The King accordingly awarded Henry with a coat of arms. The king's secretary complimented Henry's loyalty with a statement (in Latin): "The Ocean, though great rivers with many currents pay him tribute, disdains not also to receive the Lesser, if Loyal, Brooks which by one only Urne pour themselves into its bosome."
- Although the "Essay" was accepted as fact for 300 years, recent research has called its veracity into question. In a 1984 article, John A. Miner and Robert F. Miner disputed the ancestry claimed in the "Essay."[3] The authors found that the earliest provable relative of Thomas was his great-grandfather William Mynard, who, in 1554 took a grant of a house and land in Chew Magna for the lives of himself, his son Thomas, and Thomas's wife Joan. The descent from William Mynard goes through son Thomas, a tailor who died between the date he made his will on October 20, 1573 and the date his will was proved, September 15, 1574. Clement Miner was the eldest son of Thomas. He had eight children, the last being Thomas, the subject of this profile. The name of Thomas's mother is unknown.
- It is claimed that Thomas Miner sailed on the ship "Lyon's Whelp," part of the Higginson Fleet, which landed at Salem in 1629. Neither the Winthrop Society nor Robert Charles Anderson, in "The Great Migration Begins," show Thomas as a passenger. Banks shows "Thomas Miner, 22 of Chew Magna county Somerset Charlestown" on the list of the "Lyon's Whelp's" passenger,.[4] and he cites the Higginson Journals and the Massachusetts Colonial Records, I, 395. The Higginson Journals contain no reference to Thomas Minor.[5] I have been unable to locate the Massachusetts Colonial Records. The authors of an article about the early political climate in Charlestown show, in a chart, that Goodman Thomas Minor was in Salem in 1629 and that he became a church member in 1630. They included no sources for this information. [6]
- Thomas was admitted to the church in Charlestown as a founding member in November 1632, and there is no record of him in America earlier. Coupling that with the fact that there does not appear to be any solid evidence that he was aboard the "Lyon's Whelp" leads to the conclusion that he did not arrive until 1632, as shown by Anderson. That something is oft repeated does not make it true.(Entered by Vic Watt 14 Dec 2013.)
- He was in Charlestown, Suffolk, Massachusetts by November 1632 and for the birth of his son John in 1635. He relocated to Hingham, MA in 1636, where his son Clement was baptised in March 1637/38.[7] Thomas is listed as a Founder of New London, CT in 1645 and also of Stonington in 1652.
- He was appointed chief military officer of the Mystic Train band in July 1665. During King Philip's war he served as a Lieut. He was referred to by that title in Feb and Apr 1676. In August 1676 he was called Captain, but is usually mentioned in later years as Lieutenant.[8]
- Thomas kept a diary for the years 1653-1684. Although some of it is in cypher and contains many cryptic records of the lives of the Minor family members, you can read a transcript of the diary.
- Thomas died on October 23, 1690, and is buried in Wequetequock Burial Ground, Stonington, New London, Connecticut, under a large wolf stone from his house, on which is cut:
- "Here lyes the body of Lieutenant Thomas Minor aged 83 -- departed 1690" [9] You can see pictures of Thomas's gravestone (the oldest gravestone in Stonington), and the Minor monument at Find a Grave.
- General and President Ulysses S. Grant is a lineal descendant through Thomas' son, John Miner.

- -freeman 4 Mar 1634
- -removed to New London soon after 1645

- -a diary kept by him for several years furnish some good information
- -sometimes in Conn. His name was Myner.
- Note: 1. Thomas was baptized "Thomas Mynor".
- 2. The ancestry of Thomas Minor, or Myner (1608) presents a major problem for some. The "Herauldical Essay Upon the Surname of Miner" was accepted as authentic for over 300 years. This manuscript is held by the Connecticut Historical Society. It is a work of art, but probably is a work of creativity. Research in 1979 failed to substantiate it. Therefore, all claimed ancestors of Thomas prior to those listed below are at best questionable:
- Clement Myner -- father
- Thomas Myner -- grandfather
- William Myner -- great-grandfather
- 3. Thomas, the immigrant, spelled his name "Minor" when he arrived in the colonies in the "Lyon's Whelp" June 14, 1630. When he later received the "Essay", for some time he changed the spelling to "Miner" to conform to the spelling in the "Essay". Some of the descendants changed the spelling, some didn't. Spelling frequently changed back and forth. He apparently finally settled for "Minor" as his gravestone, mentioned below, indicates.
- 4. Thomas was of Charlestown, Massachusetts 1632. He was one of the church founders in Frothingham and Budington, freeman March 4, 1634, removed to Pequot, New London in 1643 and then to Stonington soon after1645 where he was Deputy to the General Court 1650. William Chesebrough induced him to join William in 1652 and Thomas removed to Mystic in 1653, where he spent the rest of his days.
- 5. Thomas was successively Magistrate, Deputy, Selectman, Chief Military Officer and Town Clerk. As Captain of Militia he did good service in the Indian Wars.

Yui Aragaki CM NOW Jan-Feb 2011Published on January 13th, 2011.
It's not only Atsuko Maeda who's been in the commercial buzz lately, Yui Aragaki has been quite active too. This post includes magazine scans and her TV commercials for Toyota, NTT and Haruyama.
In the Toyota CM, Aragaki is promoting Toyota's new compact family car "Ractis". The CM comes in two versions, one with Aragaki sitting in a boat advertising the car to a bunch of families sitting by the lake enjoying their time off. In the other one she suddenly pops out of a dressing room doing basically the same thing.
If you don't understand what she's saying, in the first one she's asking the families "Do you take time off for your kid's birthday?", "So, do your family have a compact car?" and the families just answer "Ari!" which in this context means "we do or we have". And in the second video she does the same thing, only the first question is "Rather than fashion clothes, are there practical clothes that look good?".
Aragaki is unbelievable cute, don't you think?
The second CM is for NTT's FLET'S Hikari, in this case referring to their broadband services. Aragaki talks about how videos on the internet, such as music videos and user-submitted videos have become increasingly popular in recent years. She mentions that she and her friends often share videos with each other and that she loves watching videos of cute little puppies (awwh!).
And finally, the third CM for Haruyama which is a suit outlet chain. Aragaki could definitely be an OL, or at least act as one^^
And wow, I feel so great now that I've spammed a little Aragaki stuff again, it's been too long! I hope you enjoyed it ;)

I think just for fashion girls use such phones Jatin. But one man suggest how to buy phone for GIRLS :- I\'m sure girls want more form a phone than just pink. Mind you, the girls I know all have pink phones, so what do I know?! Featured in the list are the LG Chocolate, Samsung E900, Nokia 6111, Motorola KRZR K1 and one other somewhat surprising inclusion (I\'ll leave you to find out what that is!). Personally, I still think the RAZR has some legs as far as the fashion-conscious are concerned, but the LG Chocolate beats this hands down these days. The Nokia 6111 is also a good choice, as it screams \'cute\' (which is another reason I never chose it for my Dad!) Depending on how old the girl you\'re buying for is, I\'d also suggest the Samsung X830, which is a mobile music phone that looks like an MP3 player. Small, cute, and available in a variety of colours, it\'s a great phone, but probably aimed more at the younger market (i.e. not you\'re Gran! ...moreAnswered by anantharaman, 01 Aug '09 09:43 pm

Matt Cain joined Phil Humber in club perfection after tossing the second perfect game of the 2012 season. Cain was masterful on Wednesday, with a career high 15 strikeouts against the visiting Houston Astros.
Cain became the first Giant to throw a perfect game, and the first Giants pitcher to toss a no-hitter since Jonathan Sanchez tossed a no-no against the Padres in 2009,
Although Cain dominated the Astros with pinpoint control and mixing up his pitches, he received excellent defensive support from his teammates, including an amazing diving catch in right center field by Gregor Blanco. Blanco robbed Jordan Schaefer of what appeared to be a perfect game ending extra-base hit to the gap.
The lengthy right hander has lived up to his huge $127 million contract extension signed over the off season, with an 8-2 record and a minuscule 2.41 ERA. He has thrown ten quality starts in 13 outings, including two complete games.

New York rapper Saigon has vouched for Rhymefest in light of a new blog post publicly going at Interscope Records and other major labels for targeting artists like Chief Keef to make big bucks from.
Sai pointed out Fest's issues are bigger than Keef and focus more on the music industry as a whole.
"@RHYMEFEST wasnt dissing Chief Keef or whatever his name is, He sayin the same shit I was saying. Its not abt da puppet, its da puppetMASTER," he tweeted June 27th.
"We know the ills of our community is nothing to glorify at this point.. We know the horror of the guns, drugs and so on. Lets move on…"
"RHYMEFEST Yeah we up against the house negroes… Wont be easy"
"@RHYMEFEST They said they tiiiired of eating chitterlings out here in the field with us, The wanna eat some bacon with massa at the table"
"If I had a girl and a dude could bag her cause he had a fancy car or some jewels, I couldnt THANK him enough. Thats PRICELESS insight…." (Saigon's Twitter)
Fest also took to Twitter to clarify his publicized blog post.
"I'm now seeing all these blogs saying I dissed Keef, if all you see is a diss then it wasn't read thoroughly or interpreted correctly"
"My Blog http://donnienicole.com/2012/06/27/chi … Chief Keef Is The Bomb comments on the system not the individual" (Rhymefest's Twitter)
In his "Chief Keef Is The Bomb" post, the Chicago rapper asks fans to inquire about the people backing the teenage rapper.
"Chief Keef is a "Bomb", he represents the senseless savagery that white people see when the news speaks of Chicago violence. A Bomb has no responsibility or blame, it does what it was created to do; DESTROY! Notice, no one is talking about the real culprits, the Bomb maker or the pilot who is deploying this deadly force (Labels, Radio Stations). Its easier to blame the bomb. Bombs are not chosen for their individual talents, they are tools used for collateral damage. To think of the persona of Chief Keef as a person would be the first mistake, he will more then likely come and go without us knowing much of anything about his personal pains, struggles, great loves and ambitions beyond rap. He is a spokesman for the Prison Industrial Complex. Every corporation is expected to grow at least 4% each quarter, many prisons are privately owned with stock being traded on the open market. If these corporations were to do commercials, jingles and promotions who would they hire? You got it, most of the main stream rappers we salivate over like Rick Ross the former correctional officer turned Drug Lord Boss rapper. Waka Flocka Flame gang bang "GO HARD IN THE PAINT" and Chief Keef the newest lottery pick in the "Get paid to destroy young minds, like we destroyed yours" Sweepstakes. [sic]" (Donnie Nicole)
Around mid-June, Keef officially announced a partnership with Interscope Records.
Chief Keef already told you what he don't like, but Interscope Records, that's that sh– he do like. On Saturday (June 16) just hours before he took the stage at Birthday Bash with T.I. the Chicago upstart inked a deal with Jimmy Iovine's label and gave RapFix the exclusive. "I've been talkin' to a lot of labels, but I just noticed that Interscope got people like 50, Eminem," Keef told us after he got off stage performing his breakout track, "I Don't Like." The teenage spitter also revealed that he signed a publishing deal with Dr. Dre. Keef was recruited by a few labels including Cash Money and T.I.'s Grand Hustle. (RapFix)

As Easter approaches, the issue of family, belonging, and the meaning of holidays becomes so important to children who live apart from their parents. As a part-time worker in a residential treatment facility, I learn about trauma, attachment, and loss from the children I work with every day. Last December, the night before Chanukah, I found myself in the daily therapeutic group meeting, listening to the children discussing the topic of the day: holidays and how they felt about being without their families. It was then that I really felt the impact of their circumstances. I had never realized just how distressing the holidays might be for children living in a residential treatment center.
The grief of personal loss becomes exceptionally hard around holidays. There is a cultural expectation that holidays are to be celebrated with family. Children in treatment residences have suffered significant loss, particularly separation from family. Holidays revolve around emotional connections and bonds with those loved most.

Then after a floor set, you received 50% off any new stuff that just got put out. Also once in a while you could get any pair of jeans for 10 bucks. I worked at Hollister before hand and only got a 20% discount and nothing on sale items. That applied at A&F too.

Sobering facts
St. Patrick's Day might be a great time to try out green beer, but it's also a day many people make the wrong decision to get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol.
Thirty-four percent of deadly St. Patrick's Day crashes in 2011 were linked to drunk driving, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That's more than a third.
What to do? Here are some tips from AAA Mid-Atlantic:
"If you're venturing out to an Irish pub or attending a St. Patrick's Day party, plan ahead.
- If you plan to drive, don't drink.
- If you plan to drink, pre-select your designated driver before the party begins and give that person your car keys.
- If you don't have a designated driver, ask a sober friend for a ride home; call a cab, friend or family member to come get you; or stay where you are and sleep it off until you are sober.
- Never let a friend leave your sight if you think they are about to drive while impaired.
If you're hosting the party where alcohol is being served, be a responsible host
- Have food and non-alcoholic beverages available.
- Remember that it takes 40 minutes or longer for alcohol from a drink to be absorbed.
- Take note of who's coming, who drinks, and who drives.
- Make sure all of your guests designate their sober drivers in advance, or help arrange ride-sharing with other sober drivers.
- Stop serving alcohol at least an hour before your guests start to leave for home.
- Keep the numbers for local cab companies handy, and take the keys away from anyone who is thinking of driving while impaired."

When it comes to installing a new roof, homeowners typically look at the overall price, without giving much thought to what goes into that number. In this guide, we will discuss how roofers come up with their numbers, and how you can determine if you are getting a fair deal.
I will first mention that you should (in most cases) choose a roofing contractor who is licensed, insured and has a good reputation with their past clients. It is important for you – the homeowner, because you will be buying a new roof for many years to come, and don't want to replace it within a few short years.
Quality VS Price: All too often, a cheap roof means that it will NOT last you a long time, and when it leaks, a "cheap" contractor will usually not honor their warranty, and the cost of repairs or replacement will be on you. The bottom line – a roofing company needs to make money to stay in business, to be able to repair your roof if or when the need arises.
In fact, because most contractors compete on price, cutting corners has become the norm in the industry, which for years has been torn to shreds by uninsured crews hiring illegal labor, with very little expenses. It has become immensely difficult to compete in such an environment for honest, licensed and insured roofers, who do not cut corners when installing protection for your most expensive investment – your home. In order to get enough work, even these good crews had to drop prices, and to compensate for lost profits, they too began cutting corners and reducing quality of work.
How contractors determine your roof replacement price
A typical roofing contractor looks at the following factors:
- Roof size
- Roof slope
- Roof complexity
- Number of existing roofing material layers
- New roofing material to be installed
- Roofing underlayment and accessories
- Material waste
- Ventilation to be installed
- Roof flashing to be done
- Trash disposal costs
- Labor costs
- Overhead costs (insurance / advertising / trucks /cost of doing business / etc)
- Profit
Most roofers already have all these figured out, and adjust prices for each individual job, based on these factors. A typical contractor has a base price per "square" (1 square is a roof area of 10*10′ or 100 sq. ft., and is used in the industry to simplify communication between suppliers, architects, sub-contractors and customers). On top of the base price per square they add additional factors, such as complexity of the job, amount of flashing to be done, and other items such as ventilation, etc.
What goes into the cost of new roof installation
Let's look at an example: typical roof – a ranch house that is 26 feet wide by 48 feet long, and has a roof pitch of 5 in 12. The size of such a roof is 1350 sq. ft., and with waste of 10%, the roofer will need about 1485 sq. ft. (15 squares) of shingles or other roofing material.
Cost of materials and labor:
Whether the roofer calculates their job per square of roofing area or per square of roofing materials to be installed, the overall number should be about the same.
First, the total amount of materials is calculated. On top of materials (usually roof shingles), the roofer calculates the underlayment (felt or synthetic underlayment and/or ice and water shield), ventilation, flashing, and accessories (nails, caulking, pipe flashing, etc.) needed.
The above items give the contractor cost of materials / square, needed for the job.
Having the cost of materials in mind, the contractor already knows how long such a roof should take to install, and how many roofers he/she will need on the job – this provides the cost of labor, including taxes and workers comp insurance.
Cost of doing business, or overhead cost is what can differ the most among roofing contractors. However, these are still similar for most licensed / insured contractors. What affects the overhead costs is the type and amount of advertising that a contractor does, office expenses, equipment / trucks / fuel, and cost of Worker's Compensation insurance.
Worker's Comp can range from 25% to over 40% of the payroll, depending on the state in which the company operates and past incidents. If the company had on the job injuries, the Worker's Comp rate can jump over 10% easily.
- Think of it this way – an installer gets paid say $20 / hr. Working full time, that would be $48,000 / year. On top of that a 40% (or $.40 per dollar of payroll) would be ADDITIONAL $19,200 per year per worker, that a contractor has to pay just for worker's comp insurance. In Massachusetts for example, a typical Worker's Comp rate for ROOFING, starts at around 38%, before any incidents. If there are any incidents, it can easily go to almost 50%.
Additional and UNAVOIDABLE overhead is income taxes. Uncle Sam takes 35% flat rate form any corporation, and then taxes personal income of the roofing company owner. Of course there are ways to pay a lower rate, or avoid double taxation, using S-Corp, but still, most of the time, the personal tax rate of the business owner is around 35%.
Of course, any roofer wants to charge as much as they can get away with for a roof installation. However, reality dictates its own terms. Competition from other contractors who are uninsured, and do not carry any worker's comp. insurance (or inadequate workers comp. such as SIDING, which is only about 13% vs. 38% for roofing) is tremendous. Contractors have to "sell" based on quality, against LOW PRICES, meanwhile, most homeowners typically look at the total price (LOWEST PRICE), without much concern for what's included in it. With all the competition and expenses, a contractor needs to make at least 25% NET profit on each job to stay in business. They also need volume to support needed income. If volume is low, net profit must be higher than 25%.
Profit can and will vary among different roofing outfits, and will in great part depend on the volume, but once again – a roofing company that does not make money will not be around to uphold the warranty – that is just how it is.
So, how much does it cost to install a roof?
There is no magic number, and it varies greatly depending on your geographic location, as well as local economic conditions and competition. This is reflected in our roofing estimator, which calculates an "approximate" price of roof replacement. However, we can look at the formula used in our calculator to see how much an average roof would cost.
Cost of roofing materials and accessories:
1 square of Lifetime or formerly known as "30 years" architectural asphalt shingles is about $100. This is set to be increased by an average of 5-9% in the spring of 2013, as indicated by the "roofing materials price increase" notices, that suppliers are now sending out to contractors.
Underlayment and accessories cost another $40-50 / square.
Dump fees can range from $30-100 per ton (2000 lbs.) depending on where you live. 1 square of 1 layer of shingles weighs ~ 250 lbs., or 8 squares per ton. a 15 sq. roof is about 2 tons for one layer to be removed. A typical dumpster rental fee is $350 with 2-3 tons of debris allotment. If a roofer has his own dump truck, disposal cost is about 5-0-60% that of dumpster rental cost (includes salary of the driver and fuel).
Overall, material cost is about $150 / square + $350 for dumpster + $50-100 for building permit. Read our complete Asphalt Roofing Shingles Prices Guide here.
Labor cost:
If a typical roof installer gets $15/hr, and a foreman gets $20/hr, and you need say 6 guys to rip and install a 15 square roof in one day, that gives you 5 guys * $15/hr * 8 hours = $600. Add a foreman at $160 / day, gives us $780 in payroll. Add another 65% (workers comp, unemployment insurance, payroll taxes).
An average labor cost would then be $1285 to install 1 roof.
Overheads costs of a typical roofing contractor:
Lets say a roofing contractor hires 1 secretary / office manager at $18/hr, rents an office / storage for about $1,000 / month, buys liability insurance for $7,500/year, and spends $500 / month on advertising, and about $200/ month on utilities, as well as $1,000/ year in office supplies and equipment.
On top of that each truck insurance is about $1,500 / year, + $1,500 / year in maintenance and repairs.
Fuel costs for an average work truck is say $4 per gallon of diesel fuel. Having a 15 MPG, and driving 30,000 miles per year, a truck will use 2,000 gallons of fuel / year, which is $8,000
Lets calculate a hypothetical roofing contractor's overhead cost:
Office manager salary: $36,000 + 18% for Workers comp, taxes, unemployment insurance = $42,800 / year.
Office / storage rental: $12,000 / year + $2,400 in utilities = $14,400.
Advertising: $6,000 / year.
Insurance: $7,500 / year.
2 Trucks: $9,500 / year * 2 = $19,000.
Office supplies: $1,000 / year.
Miscellaneous: $1,000 / year.
Total overhead cost: $91,700 or $251 each day of the year!
Figuring out total contractor's cost to install one 15 squares roof:
Materials: $150 / square.
Labor: $86 / square ($1285 / 15 squares).
Overhead: $17 / square (assuming that a roofer does only 1 roof per day).
Dumpster + permit fees: $400 or $27 / square.
Total contractor's cost: $4,186 to install a typical 15 squares ranch house roof, or $279 / square, before ANY profit.
If we consider that a roofer makes an average 25% NET profit on each job, before taxes, then our hypothetical roof above would yield $1,046 in profit. Total cost of such a roof would be $5,232 or $350 per square.
Average roofing costs across US and Canada:
It just so happens that in most places and according to most roofing contractors that I've spoken to, the average cost per square that they charge ranges between $300 and $400 / square, so our calculation of $350 / square falls right in the middle of that average.
Our roofing calculator formula is in large based on these calculations, but also takes into account additional items, such as chimney / skylight flashing, different roof slopes, houses that are 1, 2 or 3 stories high, different roofing materials, and overall job complexity. Therefore, you will get different "prices" depending on your home's conditions.
Other factors affecting roof installation prices across US and Canada:
Among many factors that can affect your total cost, a major one is your geographic location and local cost of living, as well as local economic conditions.
For example, $15 / hr in Boston or NYC is probably a bare minimum on which a working person can "survive" because of high rent and food / clothing prices, while somewhere in the Midwest, or recession-torn areas, $15/hr, can provide a person with a very decent level of comfort. Additionally, in urban areas, cost of materials, insurance and other overhead costs are typically higher than in suburban "away from civilization" places.
On top of local costs of living, there are many uninsured roofers, who hire illegal workers, and have a much lower overhead. Therefore, it's not uncommon to see prices for a new installed roof to be around $250-275 / square even in the Boston / NY / NJ / DC stretch.
Although roofing prices and contractor's cost differ depending on the region (for example in the midwest and the south, roof prices are impacted in large part by the insurance companies, as there is a lot of insurance work there, due to storms, and thus are much lower than in the northeast or the Pacific regions (see our Local Roof Prices Guide for details).
Additionally, here is a separate article about insurance work, and how it affects roofing market as a whole, the quality of work, and price levels – how insurance companies manipulate residential roofing prices

I would like to replace roof's shingle… Cost to Install a Shingle Roof. 40′ x 20′ roof, about 1,500 sq ft.
My name is Bryan Parker I own my small roofing business and a 40×20 roof is only 8 squares and also depends on what yo have for pretrussions for waste I would say to get 9 square which is 27 bundles. My business is **** roofing services and am insured with photos and references available on request of every job I ever had done. I am willing to travel and would be more than happy to do it for you I charge very low prices and work with the customer. Customer satisfaction is my number one goal. If interested please call my cell at (REMOVED) or my house at (REMOVED). Thanks
I hired my brother in law to do my roof. He has never done a shingled roof before but wants to call himself a contractor though he is not. He spent 155 man hours to do 2272 sq feet roof and charged me $2520. They averaged 122 sq feet per 8 hour day. what would you say to him ?
thank you for this roof installation prices, very helpful. Many thanks
You are pretty much spot on here. I don't understand why so many people want to challenge what is written here. Overhead is an important number. A quarter of my roofing business is repairing other companies mistakes that gave the homeowner a 10 year warranty and then went out of business two years after the install.
My brother scraped all of my ceilings, retextured them and painted my entire house for the cost of the materials…..hence the reason that I didn't look up how much it would cost to hire a drywall contractor.
Thank you for informing people that might otherwise have no idea. I am going to direct my potential customers to this site so they have a better understanding.
hello gordon something is wrong
2272 sq feet / 155 hours =14,6
14,6 x 8 hour day=116,8 sq feet per 8 hour day
Quite informative and useful. It would be even more so if you added a rough cost comparison among the various roofing types, i.e. standing seam, shakes, asphalt, tile, etc..
Every person makes all prospective and cost estimation detail sheet before installing a new roof for his home. Roofing installation cost estimations conclude average material costs, individual labor productivity rates and national average hourly labor wages.
please let me know where i can get roofers at a low price. i reside in Queens, NY. Thx
If your in ny state with the labor law 240-241 coverage on your GL insurance then you better Jack those numbers up on the labor end by another 50 per sq, a typical 2 story 8/12 pitch roof will go for around 450 per sq in central ny state if you properly insured.
For the people looking for pricing on Flat Roofs like EPDM , TPO , PVC , the price starts with the system your taking off and what type of beck is there. If you have a structural concrete deck the price will go up on the removal process. If it's a metal deck then the cost will go down. This is the same for labor cost to install the ISO board it's cheaper to install over a metal deck (no pre drilling). the cost of tapered insulation is much higher then flat ISO. So it's in posable to have a basic price per SQ every job is different. Copper standing seam as a rule on new construction using 20oz copper 8/12 pitch and Grace underpayment on the deck will average 800 per sq. Hand split cedar white cedar or red with grace underpayment and 30lb felt at each coarse will be 700-825 sq. By the way if you need someone on the Internet to give you prices your really not ready to tackle these types of projects. The comments I have made above are just my opinions and should not be used in any estimating.
my contractor gave me a total new Timberline 30 yr roof replacement estimate for 15 1/3 squares, that includes an additional extra charge for a "high roof" of $75.00 per square. The house is 2 stories, 2000 sq ft living space. Is this amount, an extra $1,150.00, much too high? Also, NO Metal Drip Edge was installed in the rear, causing water to drain against the siding and foundation. Should the Drip Edge be included in the total roof replacement cost, (no extra charge)? Thanks.
Alex is comment seems to be accurate. As far as the drip edge…that's just poor supervision on the roofers part. Ran out of material?…couldn't put it on because? Bottom line is, It doesn't matter what the excuse is, they should have finished it properly. Sorry to hear about your bad experience…we're not all bad guys
You give a very detailed information and as a woman alone I feel if I study this I can go to a contractor without fear thank you so mu h I will put this in my favorites
Wow….I'm really appreciate your posting it's really informative for me hope you always update more often and share to us what you know. Thanks Orlando Roof repair
I tried to charge similar rates in my area but found that everyone uses the "going rate" which isn't enough to cover my expenses let alone make a profit. I now stick to commercial work were having workers comp and liab ins is the norm and not the exception.
Finally somebody that knows what I deal with on a daily basis giving estimates and they say well I talked to somebody that will do it for this and I try to explain u get what u pay for I have been in business since 96 and the only reason I can compete is because I still roof alot of my roofs along side my crew saving me 3-400 a day in payroll alone I subcontract from contractors alot to and if I can get 75.00 a sguare for most roofs I can still make a profit I do pay 1800 a month for liability and work comp nor on myself tho cant afford that but some how I still make it but the most I can get for roofs I sell on my own is about 250 pr sg homeowners just won't pay it I wish they would c this site because they don't have a clue what it takes to operate so I'm gonna pin this site and the next time they say I can get Joe blow to do it for this um gonna have them check out this site thank u

Apartment # 9 Lyrics - Patsy Cline
Review The Song (2)
Just Follow the Stairway.
To this lonely world of mine
You'll find me waiting here
In apartment number nine
Not so very long ago..
You walked away from me
And after all the plans we made
You decided to be free..
Loneliness sarounds me,
Without your arms around me.
And the sun will never shine,
In Apartment Number Nine
I'll be waiting in this lonely room..
If you ever change your mind.
You'll find me waiting here for you.
In Apartment Number Nine.
Loneliness sarounds me,
Without your arms around me.
And the sun will never shine,

I am happy to include this guest editorial from FTI Consulting, because it highlights a crucial issue. Regulators, ratepayers and policymakers are all screaming for utilities to improve their outage response times. But nobody wants to pay for it.
The FTI gang says that workforce reductions are to blame. And that workforce increases are the solution.
More line workers would certainly be welcome. But as the authors themselves admit, many utilities can't get permission from regulators. In addition, we are seeing more and more evidence that simply hardening infrastructure (such as moving substations out of flood prone areas) can make a big difference. What's more, we are seeing more and more examples of "self-healing" grids that can drastically reduce the scale and duration of outages.
I believe the best long-term solutions are those that reduce the need for line workers.
Even though I think the authors' proposed solution is only a partial one, I do think they do a great job of laying out the issue. Take a look, and use the Comment form at the bottom to say who's right. – Jesse Berst

In Sandy's wake, states convened committees and issued reports. A consensus emerged. The reports said utilities should:
· Invest in modernizing their infrastructure.
· Bury power lines and create redundant power-generation and distribution capabilities.
· Be held accountable for storm response targets and, if found by authorities to too slow, be subject to heavy fines and penalties.
· Improve mutual aid programs.
All good suggestions. How have they worked out?
Winter, 2014
February was a brutal month across the U.S. In Georgia, an ice storm left about 350,000 people without electricity and the outages followed an all-too-familiar pattern. The number of people and businesses affected increased rapidly during the first 24 hours and it took three-to-five days to restore power to most people.
By day three, people were getting angry.
It's hard not to conclude that despite the worthwhile suggestions that emerged after Sandy, actual improvement in utility company response to extreme weather events is hard to find. After significant storms, the peaks (the number of households and businesses that lose power) are just as high; the tails (the time during which customers are left without power) are just as long.
Missing the Big Picture
Where have all the workers gone? Over the past 15 years, utility companies have consolidated to improve their competitive capabilities and leverage economies of scale to keep rates low. Between 1995 and 2012 the number of investor-owned utilities shrank by nearly 50%.
This consolidation has had an unintended consequence -- a serious shortage of skilled labor.
In this highly-regulated sector, agency approval is necessary for any M&A, and that approval consistently has been contingent upon the merging companies meeting cost-reduction targets.
The Massachusetts Public Utility Commission, in its approval of the NU/NSTAR merger, explained the rationale of workforce reduction to achieve those savings: "The nature of merger savings, primarily staff reductions, are well within management's ability to estimate now and control later, so it is reasonable to conclude that these savings, at least, can be achieved."
But quickly restoring energy to customers depends upon line workers going out in trucks, riding baskets to the tops of poles, and fixing wires knocked down by wind, snow, ice, and falling branches. A 2011 survey conducted by the Center for Energy Workforce Development found a potential 32% reduction via retirement and attrition of electrical line workers from 2010-2015. As the number of line workers has fallen, their age has risen. A 2006 U.S. Department of Energy Report found that in some organizations half the line worker workforce could be expected to retire within the next 5 to 10 years.
That would be about . . . now.
Practical Solutions
A good first step would be for utilities to embark upon aggressive tree-trimming programs, removing the branches that bring down power lines. In 2012, Connecticut Light & Power (now merged with Northeast Utilities) announced its plan to extend its annual trimming program from 3200 to 4800 miles. Connecticut set up a task force that called for more state funding at the local level to manage the state's "roadside forests." It also encouraged municipalities to develop tree-pruning guidelines to cut through the red tape that wind around trees on public roads and frustrates utility tree-trimming activities.
Bring back the workers. When the next big storm hits, customers will still be left in the dark for an unacceptably long time without a skilled workforce capable of turning on the lights.
