Also, I want to know what sort of staple-gun they use for that... Do you keep a prepared set of sterilized roofing staples?
that definitely does not look liek it feels good...as far as the staples...they use some medical specific staples. and they hurt like hell going in. i got 4 in my head when my former employer dropped a wheel on my head from about 4 feet up.
