Last week I had the honor of representing the Chicagoland Roofing Council at Greenbuild, which took place at McCormick Center. I was really surprised at how large the convention was and the amount of exhibitors that were there. The CRC’s booth got a lot of traffic and people were very interested in green roofs. It seemed that a lot of our visitors associated garden roofing systems with green roofing. It was a great opportunity to inform the public about other roofing systems that are also considered green (ex. reflective roofing, r-values, etc).

Blackhawks Game 1
Rod and I were graciously taken out to dinner and Game 1 of the Blackhawks playoff game last Saturday. We had a great time and want to thank Jim Bone of Bone Roofing Supply, Inc. for inviting us. Unfortunately, the Hawks lost pretty bad. At least they pulled through last night, tying the series 1-1 with Vancouver! Thanks again Mr. Bone.
Rod Petrick was invited by Fred Creed of All Weather Products, Inc. to visit New York City to check-out a really cutting-edge epoxy-like roof system used on many of the city’s buildings. It’s called Soprema Alsan RS. The New Yorkers use the system to eliminate hot application methods (like torches). Really neat stuff if you’ve got money. A view of the city from a rooftop is above.
A second view of the city. Did Rod even look at a roof?
A little bit of business. Above is the roof system. Rod did have to work!
This is about as close as Rod could get to the new buildings going up to replace the World Trade Center(s). Check out all of the cranes!
