      Hahaha spoken like a true idiot! I would never encourage kids to waste their money on college. Aquire skills. And when you have them. Get more skills. Educate yourself financially in the mean time. Read self help books. Stop watching t.v and looking at fb or watching videos that don't add value to your life. This roofer (me) has built multiple homes, roofed a 1,000 houses. Done all kinds of interior and exterior remodels. Bought a flip house (cash) $43,500. And makes more money off RUclips (only 7 months uploading regularly) than he ever did working for (the man) . I have no boss. And don't ever let me find you on this channel giving advice to this great countries youth again!

      Worlds Fastest Shingler
      Well said Brother. Learn some skilled trades and make yourself more marketable.. if not marketable at least handle your OWN home repairs and not rely on everyone with TRADE skills to do your work for you. I do feel it’s important to get an education but I also feel it’s good to get your fingers dirty and learn some things that will help you save thousands if not more in a lifetime. If someone is doing this and is happy with their life and there is a roof over their families head and food on the table then it’s a job well done. Keep up good work man!

      @@Scientists16 yes absolutely! Most Need college for sure. but I just don't like how every adult and teacher tells kids that shit like its the way to go. No its the way to debt. It's a way to a slow start. Truth is teachers have very little financial education themselves professors included. 2 books that seriously elaborate on this topic are "think and grow rich" (chapter about general knowledge vs applied knowledge specifically) and the first 60 or so FUNNY pages of "rich dad poor dad"

    No question, this dude is good. I'm not a roofer by profession but I've been forced to do a few and an 8 pitch is fairly steep (won't catch me on anything more without staging for certain). I know I'm a definite rookie because when I try to lay them vertically (without completing the row) like he was doing I always end up screwing something up and doing a valley - well that's something I have to stop and think about.

      Hey Little Bear,, Your comment caught me in two respects. I love having someone to throw for me. A bit wasteful perhaps of man power,, but not having to get up,, man handle bundles,, work my way up the roof with shingles on my feet, pass the next coil of nails,,,,,, and at one time I was a very fast hand nailer. I nailed perhaps 100 roofs before I had my first gun. A thrower for a hand nailer,, invaluable. The second,,, I love canoes, long distance, camp along the way, out for weeks at a time,,, canoes ROCK !

      Most roofers get paid by the day not the hour. We don't mess around. Theres alot I can say to validate this guys skills. His nail pattern is on point. His awareness of waste is second to none. Many roofers waste material because it doesn't come out of their pocket but time does when you run short half a bundle and have to wait an hour for someone to get what you need to finish the job. On that pitch I would use a stocker or feeder to sit on the peak and feed me shingles but alot of factors play in to whether or not that makes sense for him. I also like how he bunches the shingle wrapper up when he's done with it. If he had laborers or never was a laborer he'd let it blow in the wind not giving a crap. That makes me think this is his job and he's gonna have to clean up at the end of the day so he's making clean up as easy as possible for himself

I wear gloves in few situations.. only because I don't like fighting them, plus shingles wear holes in them so quickly and when just your finger tips are exposed sometimes it hurts even more than if you were raw dawgin' it somehow? Lol its weird. I agree about the body though! In general, doing the same thing repeatedly over 20 or so years will have an effect one way or another unless you stretch or workout and really manage your body like an athlete.

    I wish the black material in the valley and the felt-buster material was like a membrane that would instantly seal around all nails and tiny holes, kind of like tire slime does.
    Some kind of wasp or hornet ate some perfectly round holes in my roof. It is an asphalt shingle roof just like the one in the video and plywood underneath and I'm assuming tar paper.
    I will start checking my attic for sun light coming through more often and blacking plywood.

Quality workmanship probably at the end of the day depending on dressing and starting the roof lays 8 to 10 square a day depending on wide open areas .if it's wide and tall straight run he would do real good in a day .its the starting drip edge , ice and water and paper that kill your average .nice job tho it goes good when it's all set up

That is the way to do a valley. 8 and 12 yea baby. Would like to see a hard foam wedge made with soft foam on top and bottom and some sort of handle. would help the ankle burn. I did my own roof a while ago and put some videos up but you make me look bad. I am no roofer and didnt claim to be. But I just couldnt see paying 12 grand for a weeks work.

    Should see the way I shingle bro, you'd be like what the hell. Still doing a good job tho buddy, keep it up.I set all my bundles into position first, everthing within reach before I start shingling, toe boards if needed, so I dont have to keep running around, minimal movement is key on projects like that and specially when your working by yourself, the simple things like wearing a tool belt will speed u up, carry your coils, knife and hammer with you at all times and wearing a rope and harness is annoying but once you learn how to use it, it's more help than anything, especially on steeps, you dont have to worry about getting seriously hurt or dieing, I'm from calgary canada the rules are very strict over here.

    • @NWIVeteranConstruction
      @NWIVeteranConstruction  5 лет назад +7

      Oh I didn't read this correctly earlier. I do it that way but put my own trick on it to be faster.... I started with the outside shingle in the beginning to ensure I'm straight like you say. But Once you're straight, you can run 3-5 shingles up the valley then drop back down and run up until you're even again. BUT!!! ***As you were going up, rather than putting the shingles perfectly butted to the valley shingle like usual (corner to corner) you only pay attention to the reveal line on the outside shingle*** so same thing just faster because you get to go up a few in a row regular style rather than outside in EVERY SINGLE TIME. The difference will be minimal enough that it looks straight even tho you're going off the outside shingle (hence why you guys couldn't tell I didn't put that outside corner to the valley corner) it makes less movements, still keeps it straight and allows you to shingle closer to the regular way. Works every time
