I like how you call the previous owner by name, I do the same. Whenever I find something new that was done I’m saying “Oh Mark what was this all about” as if I was good friends with him
My dad worked as a roofer for a few years when he arrived to the US from Mexico and he said "roofing is one of the worst jobs to do" just imagine standing on a roof all day as the sun beams on you
"Off to do some sketchy sheet, do da do da." 😂
I can really get behind the sentiment at 7:45. I helped my dad with his porch and we did a little pavement job and those stone tile thingies are super heavy and you are on your knees on fine, sharp gravel and you have to check for level and hammer them flush... those construction jobs are super taxing on the body. I cant believe people work these jobs their entire life, every day.
Roofed a many of multi layered shingles homes. Trick is to strip one layer at a time. As you pull up lower layers it’s removing the nails from the upper layer. When you get to bottom layer the nails left are usually pretty loose or rusted off. You definitely did it the hardest way possible. Should have asked an old roofer for advice.
Removing you have to take a magnet through the yard or your foot will get a big surprise
I recently did my roof myself (28 squares) I think that you would have had a better experience with a different style shingle remover. Lowes sells them (bon tool 55in shingle remover) they have a flatter base and are longer than the one you had so they are more comfortable and easier on the back. I had one other person help me so I purchase the shingle/nail remover you used because it’s what HD had in stock and we both hated it. You have to bend over more and we basically just alternated with the other one. One person pulling up and the other person tossing to the bin. It’s hard work…. But def one of the biggest return and savings if you know what you are doing. I did a 40k-50k job for around 15k. 30 new sheets of plywood to replace rotted wood, and all new fascia. Digging the series so far.
Don't use felt paper, use synthetic underlayment.
When they lay tarmac they use a hand held metal "rammer" for the edges. I once used one of those to knock nails into a roof like you are having to. Keeps your back straight and it went really quickly. Good work out on the arms though...
The memory of being on my roof for nine days scraping patching Hole's.
My advice, make sure all your boards are solid then when you use a nail gun you'll know the roof is solid.
Good luck 🤞
Be sure to take care of your (lower) back when working hunched over for a long period of time. Look into McKenzie stretches if you feel any discomfort. Cheers.
It’s best to remove the nails. Because they can work their way through the new underlay and then eventually the shingles.
So funny because I'm at my desk job watching this. I love seeing the progress. Keep it up it will pay off, but I don't need to tell you that.
Best video series on the channel. Love it.
Oh, the memories. I did that for about 10 yrs. Cheers to you for toughing it out. I never look down upon a man or crew who is out there bustin it. Much respect, roofers & tradesmen. We always pulled the nails. Otherwise, they might work their way loose and pop up through the felt & eventually the shingles.
Really enjoyed your work its inspiring to try more myself
Brother MY back is tight just watching you! Killing it!
I'm watching The series on the abandoned house... that Ryobi circular saw is seeing as much work as you are!
I used to work on a crew where we would arrive on sight early morning to tear off, prep, and paper the house for the shingling crew to come in the afternoon.
I am in disbelief the two of you did this yourself!!
Awesome work, as always.
love this series and the podcast!!!
absolute BEAST You are, keep it up man, a ton of greetings from Denmark
We use a 10in x 10in tamper used for dirt/gravel for the remaining nails 👌💯
It’s all about being in that awkward position standing up and putting stress on it. I have done that with so many types of jobs including landscaping jobs. I would wear pants and knee pads. Seriously a life saver in saving you energy and your BACK! it might sound dumb but working and your hands and knees with the right gear on will save you
@michaelkuhne, you spoke my mind exactly. Knees (esp. w/ pads) are a lot tougher than one's back.
Carbon paper was used for making a copy when writing. Building felt is used on roofs. The “shingle roll”. Is roll roofing. It is typically used on low slopes.
Look forward to these each week
Rolled roofing , is heavy on its own which is the layer underneath the 3 tab shingles, now add the extra layers of shingles on top that’s a heavy ass roof surprised it’s didn’t cave in
Instead of hammering while leaning you can a long poll ang bang while standing straight
Man you doing it I know you are good tight on your back roofing is no joke
put tarps under your eaves to catch nails and when you peel them up start on one end and and go the long way. I've had good luck pulling them up and rolling all the shingles together can get heavy but breaks off usually
AMEN TO YOU!
I get all the therapy I need watching you and those glistening muscles..LOL I know, I know...I'm horrible. It may feel like you've bitten off more than you can handle but you always bang it out Alex. You got this brother. Just take it easy and remember you're not as young as you used to be, take care of that body and rest when you need it. We won't unsub if you go a week or two without uploading.
I love hard work, as long as i dont gotta do it! Watching you do it though.. that i can do!!
Hair looks great man! Please do an update soon, I'm considering doing the same.
i know you said you orders shingles should have gone with a light-colored metal roof it stays cooler than a asphalt roofing. there by helping with the cooling of the house in summer.
Dude, I'm so excited to see the end product.
What’s with Americans and shingled roofs? In Australia we have corrugated iron sheets or terracotta / concrete tiles, that seem a lot easier and more durable
Buy good knee pads. Get a wide brim soft sun hat. Wear gloves. Wear safety UV Sunglasses/safety glasses. Bring a water cooler up on the roof full of ice water or gatorade and snacks.
Great job can’t wait to see it all finished.keep up the great work
Damn if this house were in snow country it would've collapsed forever ago.
all im wondering is, wouldn't a magnetic nail remover work wonders for this? (dunno what metal the nails are made of, but if not aluminium, then im guessing a magnetic nail sweeper would do wonders), just needs one with a strong magnet ofc so it just tears the nails right out (im thinking of the one's on wheels where you just roll over it and it just grabs anything metallic it rolls over)
Was watching the lasted video and it stopped now I can't find it
Do you guys have to worry about asbestos when doing roofs or is that not an issue? I know in the UK some of the old felt was made with it in
Dude you are a beast! Amazing amount of work!
so from personal experience im going to tell you you will be finding bits of shingles in the yard for the next 15 years. my house had 7 layers of shingles and im still finding bits when i mow the grass.
And also in your attic 😂
I felt that video... if thats even possible. I did a roof "One Time" and never again. My back was tight for a week. Great job with the roof now go get that massage.
Pro tip for roofing. Where a heavy long sleeve wool sweater with a cotton T shirt underneath.. I know it sounds dumb. It makes your T shirt shirt wet and it cools your body. That is straight facts.
What just happened I was watching the new video then it gets taken down 😢
For the chiney... use cement. Then have a custom cap made from a chiney company. Ours is that way and was done in the 60's. Very well done. Not sure if it was redone or not, but is in great shape!
Where you been?!
Massive work! Full respect 💪
I have ryobi cordless tools what are your thoughts on them ?
Damn Brother, I need to lose 80lbs. I'm there with you on the roof work. shoveling, hauling, etc. all of it!
Ya
I remember doing this at 8 months pregnant my child is now 36 and I never did roof work again.
Hair looks amazing btw
Roofing work hours should only be from 5am-11 and then 5-sunset.
Being Australian we have tiles on our roofs, but to me it looks straight forward with taking those shingles off. Maybe, its looks a little easier when fast forwarding 😂😂😂😂😂
I love this STUFF! 😂
Respect
Remember: Every trailer is a dump trailer if your brakes are good enough! VROOM!
Capping the chimney with a coffee can is, admittedly, ABSOLUTELY something I would do. MacGyver style home repairs are my specialty
😂 MACGYVER !!!!!!!!!!!!
Murdock lol
Damn you wake up early for video posting
Good cause I just started my day and I need something good to watch!
likely scheduled to launch at a certain time. It can be automated within the RUclips posting platform.
See you got that hat off looking good man
Should of dragged and snow shovel up there to up you pick up those shingles.
Hey man, just a thought, when I tackle some house projects on my own, they always feel more overwhelming than when I have some help once in a while. We’re social creatures, maybe the work would be more enjoyable while joking about with some helpers?
Why not add decking on top?
With the age of those boards, why not redeck the roof? (Other than cost)
I was thinking the same thing. It looks like those boards and nails are so old they're popping up and damaging the roof. I'd high fancy and put up zip sheathing on the roof.
I've done a few re shingling jobs, and one shovel that helps A LOT are pvc snow plows (Small and large), pushing the old ripped up shingles off the roof into your bin. additionally making sure to lay tarps around the paramotor of the house to catch the falling debris and nails. Another great tool is a magnet on a stick for all the pull nails :P
None the less great gob and good luck (I know the next time I'm hiring lol)
Yea I’m gonna have to do that to my home roof as well which is only double shingled so not as bad but still🤷🏼♂️
I think everyone would agree we need to see more Mr. Build it shirtless in these vids 🌈👌🏻😎
I've said for a long time that my kids would have to be VERY hungry for me to do that job. Thank you to all the people that do this job on a regular basis.
Wait a minute. I believe you need to nail osb boards to the roof. You can't just weather proof and install new singles.
"Which is better? Banging the nails in or picking them out?" Easy answer.....paying someone to do it for me...👍🏾🤷🏾♀️
I had my roof done a few years ago and they sent a crew of at least 6 professional, roofing guys. That it's you and your friend in the heat with your sweat equity figuring it out as you go...much respect. Stay safe
I wonder, does anyone know if there is worthwhile savings in doing what he did in this video and essentially getting rid of all of the old material and getting the sheeting squared away, then just paying a crew to do the rest? Like is what he did back breaking labor? Absolutely! But, it’s also pretty hard to “mess up.” But messing with flashings, laying down underlayment and shingles is even further from a “good time” than that IMO and also with little to no experience, that opens up the door wider for potential error/failure of your new roof vs having pros do that part.
Was wondering why it was taking so long for you to post
... that's what she said!
One word, two syllables…sunscreen 😂😂😂😂
More God damn it, more! Give me more content.
Well done boys, tough day at the office.
I think you should have done more to evaluate all the problem areas, then create a more orderly plan. It feels like you are making it up as you go, which is really bad project management and can be really stressful, and you are probably working on an area multiple times when it could have been one and done.
100000% should have re decked the roof
paper roll over a layer of singels and carbon paper thank god you did this. That was a massive fire issue man...
“ you’re probably wondering what I’m doing with a pitchfork and cowboy boots on top of a roof, well folks today were gonna do some cowboy shit”😂
I probably would have just tarred the whole roof and then put another layer of shingles on top😂 instead of removing any of the old shingles. To be fair that roof looked immaculate under all those shingles
my back hurts from just watching this video :D
Just had our roof done a few weeks ago. There were anywhere between 1 layer of shingles to 5 layers of shingles depending on what part of the roof they were on
is that the neighbors garage? Seems awful close.
You need an air palm nailer
I did this for 15 years. It’s hard, backbreaking work.
The second I saw him on the roof in a tanktop I knew his skin was gonna be in for a bad time.
My back hurts just watching this video lol
Me showing the repairmen something to repair and it starts to work properly. Me: Stop Being Nice show How crazy you are.
" And I was just praying for more shingles" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i would say removing them is better in general but in your case hitting them in also helps u find rotten boards so win win?
20 nails in the length of 1 shingle maybe there were 4-6 shingles in that space, over the years. You’ve got to remember the 6 layers you counted at the start of the video. More shingles, more nails.
I hate to criticise, but pitchforks for dealing with witches? Not a very effective option, in my experience. Give them a mason jar or two and they scurry off like giddy little ravens, and if you're lucky they come back with cookies to say thank you. 🤷🏻♀️ In the absence of spare mason jars you can also generally distract them with a beverage (tea, beer, or moonshine, depending on the witch) or, in desperate circumstances, you can distract them by asking about their herb garden - only use that as a last resort though because you're in for an extended discussion of the garden and their successes and frustrations and a lengthy tirade against squirrels, and you mustn't interrupt or they'll be very cross indeed, in which case you definitely won't get cookies. 🤷🏻♀️
Its moments like these you need a minty
True story - I invented that tear off shovel 10 years before someone else pattened it
The hairline is looking good bro!
Use a long crowbar if youre pulling one at a time, that way youre not bending over as much.
Huh so a pitchfork could work technically good to know 😏
9:45 where do I sign up 😂
