Very nice, Hank! Great Job!

Hank, i know from reading and looking at the before and after the roof cleaning pictures that there are some nice homes in that town.

Tell me, Stroudsburg is up in Monroe County  Pennsylvania, right ? My Girl and I watch all those Amish shows on TV.  There are very popular right now. Is Monroe County full of Amish, like some parts of PA are ?

No Chris there are no Amish up this way only crazy ex-New Yorkers(i.e. city folk) like myself.

 I was searching Google for a video showing what Stroudsburg Pa looks like, hoping to see how much of a dirty roof problem you guys have, up there.

As you know, cleaning roofs used to be much more of a "Southern Thing", because of the heat and humidity here in the South East. I was unable to find  a video about  the Monroe County city of Stroudsburg, but I did find this

 

It seems like these Feral Cats are quite a problem, all across the United States, and in East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania as well. 

I was up cleaning a 3 story shingle roof here, that had some woods behind it. I swear Hank, I must have counted nearly 100 Feral Cats in the woods that I could clearly see from the roof I was cleaning. It looked like several of them had caught and thought they had mortally injured a Possum, but it was not a clean kill. I took out my cell phone, and called animal control. I explained to them where I was, and that I was up on a roof, cleaning it. 

They showed up shortly later, and started shooting the feral cats with tranquilizer darts! I watched it all, as I was cleaning that roof. 

They simply got in clean shots that dropped the Cats quickly, and then they cleaned up the entire are, by picking up, and placing the Feral Cats in Bags!

I had the downspouts of the roof I was cleaning all bagged, to keep the run off from draining on the grass.

Animal Control Officers asked me if they could have some clean bags, to pick up all the tranquilized Cats. 

I was off the roof by then, and I was happy to help them, then the TV News Media showed up.

The TV News Girl wanted to make a TV News Story - "Roof Cleaner Helps Animal Control Officers Dispose Of Feral Cats"

At first, it sounded great, and I thought it might help my roof cleaning business. But, then I decided NOT to be on TV, and have my roof cleaning company get stalked, and possibly attacked by bleeding heart animal lovers! 

Judging by the video I posted, The Stroudsburg PA area has a big problem with the wild Cats, as we do here.

Not a week goes by that I do not hear or see wild cats on my roof, chasing and killing some poor animal, then cleaning themselves afterwards.
