We had a roof put on the house about a month ago and the job was subbed out to a company from the Boston 'burbs - the roofers were Ecuadoran Indians.

These guys did an AWESOME job - I couldn't believe how hard they worked - it's a 3 story house - and the temps at street level were in the mid to upper 90's on the 2 days it took them to do it.

They definitely looked Incan - odd thing was the tallest guy in the crew was maybe 5'3" and they all came in one van - it was like a clown car full of extras from Mel Gibson's movie Apocalypto when they pulled up

They did an excellent job - both my wife and I said that you'd never get a crew of Yankees to work so hard under those conditions and still be so meticulous.
