The tar paper was supposed to go over the drip edge

Terry Coldwell · September 10, 2014 at 3:47 AM

wow! congrats there cowboy, that was a quick re-roof!

Richard Sautell · September 10, 2014 at 4:05 AM

shingles look lyke alot of work it would probably cost 20,000 dollars for a
roof that size in New Zealand , would long run coloursteel be easier to put
on and last twice as long ? 

volcer · September 10, 2014 at 4:50 AM

well done thanks for taking the time to film the roof and showing what you
learned you helped out people that might wanna learn thanks again

Dwight Travis · September 10, 2014 at 5:10 AM

I think you did an awesome job… Kudos to you! That was an extremely large
project to undertake. Bravo….young man!

Chase Elkins · September 10, 2014 at 5:16 AM

Manuel Tapia · September 10, 2014 at 5:32 AM

The laziness is real…. Even the way you talk you just sound lazy as hell 

faggotface · September 10, 2014 at 5:39 AM

Thanks for making this video! I now understand a lot more about the roofing
process.

gelio Garcia · September 10, 2014 at 5:49 AM

25 days that’s crazy long time, it’s 1 day job with 5 workers

Osvaldo Matías · September 10, 2014 at 6:02 AM

holdemstacy1 . · September 10, 2014 at 6:55 AM

Man! Don’t even listen to all the haters. You did great man! Way to stay
after it. That is a tough job for a person who doesn’t do it all the time.
It’s obvious that you didn’t have a veteran on the job with you to steer
you, but none the less you got-r-done! I’m proud of you man! You can do
most anything with enough resolve. I personally like the calm voice you
have. It beats the heck out of all the me generation self serving right
now generation naysayers criticizing you. I’ll bet none of them have
tackled this sort of project. 

Greg Hunter · September 10, 2014 at 7:29 AM

Not a bad job. You definitely got lucky with no rain always dry in your
whole roof before you do anything else.

Moe7133 · September 10, 2014 at 8:24 AM

The hardest part about roofing is removing all the stupid roofing nails!!!!
The rest is knowledge.

luke pearson · September 10, 2014 at 9:22 AM

Should have only taken 2 or 3 days. When your shingling don’t do one row at
a time or it takes for ever. you can sit in one spot and do a step or 45
degree angle with each shingle and put on 5 or 6 shingles without moving
from where your sitting. You also dont need to use a hole saw and cut a
perfect hole around each plumbing pipe. Iko shingles are crap and the
plywood didnt need to all be changed. Other than that good enough job.

Luisvtlightning12 · September 10, 2014 at 9:34 AM

I have to do my roof… I learned a lot from you thanks

downtowndv · September 10, 2014 at 10:20 AM

Great Job! Reminded me when I did my own roof many moons ago. The daily
updates really helped show the progression of the project. My hats off to
you. You showed a lot of character and patience to get er done. Roof looks
awesome!

juiced71 · September 10, 2014 at 10:42 AM

good job ! mine needs done also this gives me some inspiration ! cutting
around them tubes was that a bitch? my roof has a valley so im afraid ill
screw that up lol with the 3 tabs shingles are they nailed the same as the
others? or do you just use 2 nails? thanks man! and again thanks for
posting and you did a nice job!

Ensoltis GHR · September 10, 2014 at 11:11 AM

Thinking about getting a new roof but not sure what material to choose?
Shingles ugly and get to hot? Tile to briddle and heavy? check out my
channel, I think you’ll be suprised on what we came up with!

pigup2 · September 10, 2014 at 11:56 AM

that’s real hard work. good job! i learned a lot.

Tyrone Banks · September 10, 2014 at 12:15 PM

You’re hard at work there.

C M · September 10, 2014 at 1:12 PM

lol…good that it was only an upward wind…:-)

alfred koka · September 10, 2014 at 1:38 PM

I do roofing too,you did excellent job and clean

Roofing Contractors · September 10, 2014 at 1:39 PM

Good idea showing day by day process.

Durberville1 · September 10, 2014 at 2:18 PM

Thanks so much that has made this really clear.

stonedvideos1 · September 10, 2014 at 3:06 PM

is it wrong to run the starter row all the way around then start after you
have finished the starter row?

flyingtigre1 · September 10, 2014 at 3:44 PM

why should you run up the roof when you can run the length of the roof and
work up. Much easier than missing a nail some where. To line up your tabs
you don’t nned all those lines on the felt paper. maybe a starter line and
a third row line. The 3 tabs usually have a little cut on top you can lift
it up and direct you 3 tab in line with the 2 or 1 tab. So much easier and
less complicated. cheers 

Devon Mills · September 10, 2014 at 3:46 PM

Thank you. This video is super helpful. A real solid compact information
video. 

betty cotten · September 10, 2014 at 4:41 PM

Thank you and your daughter for your help. I am a 66 years old (woman) and
I just finished half of my tool sheds roof, wish we hadn’t built it so
high, seven ft. would have been easier.
Climbing on top was scary. Hip roof is not the best way to go for a 6 x 8
building. I prayed the whole time I was up there lol , was glad when I ran
out of shingles , I needed the break ! . But believe I will complete it ! 

Devon Mills · September 10, 2014 at 4:53 PM

Thank you. This video is super helpful. A real solid compact information

Brett Edmonds · September 10, 2014 at 5:22 PM

I’ve been in construction for about 8 years. I wish this video was around
back when I got started would have saved me a ton of trial and error. Great
job making it simple for people just starting out.

Kari Haynes · September 10, 2014 at 6:11 PM

Thanks, this was very helpful

Phu Q · September 10, 2014 at 6:45 PM

You make this seem easy! Thanks to you both for such a good video.

Anthony Phillips · September 10, 2014 at 7:12 PM

Just put 3-tab shingles on my new shed…your video helped a lot! Thank
you and your daughter for making this video!!!

DelawareContractors · September 10, 2014 at 7:45 PM

I have certainly really liked watching your online video regarding
Rooftops. I just recently began in roof covering and certainly found your
company’s guidance to be incredibly of use. I look forward to experiencing
other of your movies. Can I inquire how long you have actually been in this
type of industry?

SuperDmorton · September 10, 2014 at 7:52 PM

Wrong

link90099 · September 10, 2014 at 8:08 PM

Very good video! Very informative, wish i could have started out
apprenticing under you, as you actually teach everything there is to know
about laying 3 tabs. Cheers,

jason Boothe · September 10, 2014 at 8:22 PM

Great vid. Just one question. Do you alternate every shingles 30 inch, and
36 inch all the way up? Also, do you complete each row across before
starting next row. Thanks for the great vids

Joshua Colantuono · September 10, 2014 at 8:32 PM

Good detail, I watched several videos like this and they left out the small
description like were to line them up and why

Joseph Marlys · September 10, 2014 at 8:42 PM

Heya i am for the first time here. I found this video and I find it truly
useful & it helped me out much. I hope to provide one thing back and aid
others such as you helped me.

buddub105 · September 10, 2014 at 9:13 PM

Hey I was wondering what your chalk line are measured out at, and if you
would measure them out the same with architectural shingles. Thanks

MrRollingrock · September 10, 2014 at 9:16 PM

Perfect, exactly what I needed to know. Great vid, thanks for posting.

mr1nutwonder · September 10, 2014 at 9:40 PM

3 tabs really, are a waste of time. thin, cheap quality, way to much work
to install.

minthillbilly · September 10, 2014 at 10:07 PM

I mark horizontal lines every 10 inchs on three tabs and every 11 inchs on
architectural type shingles. This will give you something to refer to every
two rows. It helps keep the shingles running straight. You don’t have to
worry about vertical 30″ and 36″ lines with architectural shingles because
there is no bond to follow. Hope this helps. Have a great day!

Lukelins1 · September 10, 2014 at 10:16 PM

Are they 39 5/8th inch shingles

Thomas Mitchell · September 10, 2014 at 10:56 PM

On the short shingles I noticed you did not put a nail at the short end.
Can you explain why this is not needed? Also why do you need to high nail
the ends of each full shingle?

minthillbilly · September 10, 2014 at 11:00 PM

Thank you! Glad the video was helpful

minthillbilly · September 10, 2014 at 11:06 PM

I’m glad the video was helpful for you and I thank you for the comment!
Have a great day!

Terry King · September 10, 2014 at 11:12 PM

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You and your daughter
make good working partners. Many years ago in his youth my husband helped a
roofer. Your instruction was very clear, her pictures right on, and the
grand kids will have a roof on the play house thanks to you! Cheers
