      You wouldn't because it's dumb. For starters, you should never work on a roof alone. It's also just so much more efficient to have another guy. He's tearing off alone. Raking, shoveling, and running the wheelbarrow. Up and down the ladder for every sheet of plywood. Time is money, and another set of hands gets this job done four times faster.

    You guys are right, This guy is an actual stud! I would have loved to have shoes like he was using with the replaceable soles back then. Even now I have never seen shoes like that. While watching the video, all I could think of is what is going on with no safety equipment. Even the nail gun didn't seem to lip on the osb plywood. He never even tied the ladder in case of a wind that could have blown it down.
    Oh well, I guess I always took precautions for things like that because I usually worked alone
    Anyway this guy is amazing, he even flashed the chimney correctly, plus filming all this stuff.

    Excellent work! I re-roofed our house 6 years ago by myself. 1-story, or I wouldn't have risked it. Biggest difference is, I pulled up the old boards and replaced them with 5/8" plywood, rather than go over them. I made a shingle elevator with a 120v Harbor Freight winch, so I wouldn't have to haul the plywood and shingles up. Worked like a charm. Since mine was a ranch and had an attached garage, it ended up being like 20 squares. I only worked on it nights and weekends, and since I did the soffit and fascia too, was out of shape from an office job life, and in my late 30s, it took me allllll summer. But it passed inspection, and 6 years later, not a single leak. I was in better shape by the end of the summer, too. It kind of messed me up mentally though, it took another 4 years before I tackled any big house project again. :)

      Cedar shake roofs have a limited lifespan...20 to 25 years is a good estimate for longevity. Same is true for asphalt roofing as applied in the video, tile and slate roofs last much much longer but they too have a life spans ...likely in the range of 60 to 75 years if installed properly.@@garysmith5025

    • @woodway11
      @woodway11 Год назад

      Don't know where "over there" is but over here (US) shake and asphalt roofs last 20 to 30 years if installed properly , my two roofs were cedar shake roofs. Doing my first shake roof, I used medium shakes of low quality and it lasted about 18 years before I got tired of looking at it deteriorate. Second go round I used heavy shakes of good quality which will last probably 30 years or so. We use tile a lot and some slate roofs roofs can be found , both of which last quite a bit longer (60 to 70 years if installed properly and maintained). Never installed tile roofing but did try my hand at installing slate on a storage shed for kicks. Asphalt roofing dominates here in the western US , I don't like it much but it's available everywhere , cheap and is easy to install. Asphalt, when installed incorrectly, can be a homeowners worst nightmare and last 5 to 10 years before beginning to show serious problems.

    • @woodway11
      @woodway11 Год назад

      We use the half round tile here , at least on the west coast, as it's a carryover from when the Spanish mission era. True slate roofs are hard to come by unless it's a custom home then big dollars are spent on sheet copper flashing and slate. I've seen two "thatched" roofs but there again, only on homes where the owner has an over supply of money. Thatched roofs pose problems as our area is well known for fire danger every year and so thatched roofing needs to be fire resistant. Don't know how that would be done but if you can afford thatched roofing at $30 or $40 / sq. ft. then some custom roofer will find a way to get it done. From what I've seen, wood construction practices in the UK (we call it stick framing) are quite a bit higher than what we do here. In the last 10 to 15 years framing practices have improved but that's because of building codes and the use of earthquake safety requirements (anchor systems, plywood sheer wall use and nailing codes). Framers seem to figure that adding more nails solves the problem of not holding up and since they almost always use nail guns , adding a couple more nails is not a problem.

      Most roofers are more in danger when climbing stairs than they are while working on a roof. Should we all wear safety harnesses going up and down stairs?
      I've done a lot of roofing and I guarantee you two things:
      1) The only time a safety line isn't in the way is when you're not wearing one;
      2) The only way you'll fall off of an average pitched roof like this one is if you or one of your coworkers isn't paying attention.
      It's pretty simple - if you have the attention span of a gnat, or are so afraid of falling off that you can't watch what you're doing, don't go on a roof.

    People don’t appreciate how fit you need to be and how much of a head for heights you need to do this kind of thing. Carrying those boards up onto a roof by yourself like that is just insane! Fuckin well done !

      My husband is one of those guys most would see as "unfit" at 6'5 and 340lbs...but I have never seen a stronger harder working man. He goes up a ladder with 3 bundles of shingles or 2 sheets of plywood at a time. Most judge him as "fat and lazy" but those who do he works circles around.

    I did mine back 13 years ago. 20+ squares. The back roof is a nice walkable pitch so I had that done in a weekend, but the front roof is a 10 pitch with some gables and valleys plus a chimney and 4 skylights, so that took about 4-5 days. It was tough work but rewarding since I drive up and see it everyday. Still looks great and is holding up great.

  • @Bobcat1950

    I’ve done it several times myself. Friends and family promise to help. They show up Friday after work and you start the tear off. Then Saturday comes and no one shows up. Then you realize you are on your own. You get the tear off done and the worse stress sets in, until you get it dried in. Now, you start the hard labor of carrying the shingles up and trying to keep everything in line. When done right, you get the best feeling of accomplishment you ever had when finished. You did a terrific job, I would have installed a ridge vent. Kudos on the chimney counter flashing. It was as good as I have seen.

While I ended up with a new level of respect for all the trades I think the roofers are rock stars. That is one brutal trade. Edit: Nevermind, it went so fast I didn’t catch the first run was ice guard.

Even with all the gadgets to haul the sheathing and shingles up the ladder, with all the air tools, etc, it's one of the hardest and most dangerous jobs out there. Respect!

    I did my roof a bit differently. I stripped down a small area and installed the new roof. That way if I got surprised with bad weather, I only needed to protect the gap between the old roof and the new roof.
    It took a bit over a week overall, but I didn't have any concerns over rain or having to suspend the job if I threw out my back or otherwise needed to take an unexpected day off.
