As reported in @CrainsChicago, 37.5 million square feet of warehouse space was under construction in metro-Chicago in Q3 2022. The previous Chicago record was 30.1 million square feet in Q2 2021. These figures also represent a whole lot of roof.

Wise words in @NRCAnews' "NRCA asked..." feature. Rob McNamara's comment reminded me of one of his Dad's common statements--know our costs. I had the privilege of working for Don McNamara early in my career and often look back on the guidance he provided.

Just finished with roofing-related code changes at ICC code hearings in Louisville, which means the end of industry input into the 2024 I-codes. Overall, a very good code cycle for roofing contractors. Some new requirements (challenges/opportunities) for reroofing.

Across the street from my hotel in Louisville. The building was built in 1822. Based on the rib layout and detailing, likely not original. Still cool though.

It was on this date and at this hour back in 1990 that the #Chicago area experienced it's only F5 tornado in modern times. The @NWSChicago aerial photo shows the path this monster cut across #PlainfieldIL taking the lives of 29 on that Tuesday 32 years ago.
