Roof job in Mesa went sideways Tuesday when I spent 20 minutes hunting a bad crimp that was hiding in a tangle of 15 unmarked drops. I started flagging each line with a piece of tape and a sharpie, and now I can grab the right one in 5 seconds. How do you all keep your lines straight up on a busy roof?
