Re: Before & After Photo Contest Discussion


Do the images need to be jpg or could we use something like quicktimes interactive panoranic viewer?

Re: Before & After Photo Contest Discussion


I notice the contest is "Open to US Residents only" due to shipping costs.
Can I still enter? and if I happened to win, nominate a Roofing Friend in the USA to recieve the prize?

Nathan,

You need quicktime and if you don't have the pano viewer plugin quick time should direct you to or download load it.

Re: Before & After Photo Contest Discussion


I clicked the movie (ARGGH QT sux), but its only a before shot. I would assume to keep the playing field even, that entries should only be pics, which most members have access to.

Re: Before & After Photo Contest Discussion


These guys are concerned about the cost of mailing the prize to Canada??? Well, if I can't play I guess I'll post what would have been the winning entry.

I built this timber water tower for an appreciative customer (that be Ford Trucks) and see what he did with it after?

See, the dang thing only holds 1 gallon cans, what good is that?

I wonder where they get $234 for one of those tool belts. If they're worth that much loot, they should have done a contest giving away a power tool or something. There's no fun in this one for me at all. A 5-in-1 fits in the pocket of painter pants without need for a toolbelt. Oh well, maybe the prize will go to someone that can actually use the thing.
