After watching these videos, our three boys and I decided to reshingle our home. We are new to this work. We completed it just before Hurricane Ian and so far she is seaworthy! Thank you Shannon for your helpfulness. May God bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you and give you peace. By the way, the two teenage boys and I did most of the work and the investment was priceless!
Hey, I assume you're in Florida? Was it hard to get the homeowners permit? And also what kind of permit was it needed. My roof will need replacement soon. Thank you.
I have worked in the home improvement & new construction field for about 40 years now and have never come across an individual who has the same level of expertise as shannon. This guy really knows what he is talking about and is completely thorough with explaining every itty bitty detail. Truly a great guy to learn the correct way to do many different task in many different trades. Great job Shannon. Oh and did I also mention that your videos are also top notch. Very clear in both audio and video. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for this series, I know feel prepared to help my husband do our roof. I tried a few different videos before finding your series and by far the easiest to understand!
You need to watch Fastest roofer videos, that guy knows what he is talking about. This guy here is putting nails on the seams and that's a leak for sure
Thank you very much for this informative series. My roof acquired a major leak due to hurricane Florence. Many roofers were busy with bigger projects so I nervously tacked the job of replacing a roof vent and replacing about 6 sheets of shingles with your guidance. I just had major down pour for 4 hours and no leaks! You are a great instructor! Tanks again!!!
I find that roofing is a great way to instruct teenagers and really improve the neighborhood. What you do is you find the worst delinquent in the neighborhood and you hire him for $40 or $50 an hour and say you'll pay him if he completes the job with you. Then when he's nailing the ridge cap you push him off the roof.
+Maxid1 Not advisable, lol
Lololok
😂
I looked at a number of shingling videos. Shannon’s videos were the first ones that gave enough detail to allow me do understand and get the job done. Thank you!!!
this guy does not know how to install a roof correctly.almost everything he did was WRONG.
Well explained - thank you - I haven't shingled a roof in 35 years, and never with architectural shingles, so this was a great refresher!
I have done some roofing,but its been 19 years so your videos helped refresh my memory.
loved the additional commentary on the reason for each task. wind direction etc. great teaching talent. thank you
Thankyou for a great series of videos. I did my first roof 15 years ago and am getting close to tear off my third one (just sealed up 3 leaks after the hot weather). Because I don't do this every day its great to have something to refer back to so thankyou for taking the time and effort to do this.
Thanks for DETAILS. This channel has helped me with a vinyl siding, j channels, f channels. fascia, soffit, a window(s) and a roof project just pure education and teaching a skill. Could not be happier with channels like this! Thanks.
One of the best how-to roofing videos out there. Happy to see he did not add a ridge vent on his home with that low pitch. Someone did that to the house I just recently bought with a similar pitch and it's been leaking water in. Too low of a pitch doesn't keep rain water out of those vents, so not looking forward to when I re-roof this house. Little anxious about how much damage will be underneath and the $$ to fix it all.
I cannot do the shingling myself, at this age being too fragile. However, I like these videos because they help me to understand the work that a company will do, so that I can understand what is going on and can recognise any sign that something may be amiss.
good for you! make sure get what you pay for. a lot of shoddy companies will do shoddy jobs
Same here. In my younger days I used to help my father in law shingle roofs.I'm 72 and staying safe.
I am 75 years old and can do a roof and 110 degree heat and slam down a 6 pack of Modelo or Old English and still have energy to play with my grandkids and Roblox too
Just remember, do not put a nail where there will be a joint in the following course. Stay at least 4-5 inches away on low slopes and 2-3 inches on steep slopes. At 5:50 you are putting them in the joints! The water weeps in the joints eventually eating the head off and in time, as the tar in the shingle drys out around the shaft of the nail, it will start dripping. Usually in 2-5 years.
Yes it does appear i have some in or close to the joints.Not ideal for sure.
Thank you for posting up your videos on How To Install Shingles: from removing them to installing new ones I hope it really helps without having me ask too many questions while I'm at work on this new house it seems my friends helped me to renovate with them. I would also like to gain knowledge in removing tile floors from what it's laid on and watch to gain experience on how my boss wants to build this house from wooden sticks for the homeowners. I really appreciate the time you have taken to tell me the right and wrong I was doing at the job site.
I am so appreciative of you and your videos. You explain things slow enough to be able to follow what your doing. You talk to us, not down and at us. Very informative and I can't tell you how much time and money you saved me. Also, your cameraman is excellent. He doesn't shake, zoom in/out to fast so as to not making you sick. He s worth his weight in gold! You should pay him more. Thx
Thank you very much for these videos. I am building a shed and have just finished building my trusses. Time to sheet the roof and then single. I had no idea how to start off all the edges and always wondered how the ridge was done.
P.S. please don’t let the negative and nasty people out there to discourage you. My grandfather once told me that if I wanted to master something, teach the knowledge that I have acquired to others. Based off of views of your videos and I’m sure the success of your business you are obviously doing very well. Can’t say it enough you seem like a great man and I look forward to watching and learning more in the future.
Your Grandfather must have a been a great guy.
I'm sorry but this fella has no clue how to shingle a roof correctly AT ALL
There's a nail right on the joint on the first shingle he puts. That's going to leak.
I’m reshuffling my shed, which hasn’t been done in 50+ years. I was disappointed with the lack of roofing expertise provided by my local Home Depot, so these videos were ver much appreciated! Super clear and easy to follow, and to the point. Now I know exactly what to buy and how to install it properly. Thank you, Shannon!
This is great! Gonna do a small roofing job on my backyard roof to protect my well ballast. I am a retired bricklayer and have a few carpentry skills. So I believe it will come out just right after watching your video. Brother... You do excellent work! Very detailed and explained well. Thank you so much from out here in the country in Ocala FL. 👍
Thank you so much Shannon. Tomorrow I will put the ridge cap on. The old shingles were glued down with tar and it was a three day workout with the help of the sun to peel them off. Things are so much easier after watching an experienced trades person do it. The scaffold was the best idea. It made the job so much safer. ~Robert~
Great job. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate how patient and thorough you are when explaining. You have helped me learn and improve my business with your channel. Thank you very much. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 💪🏼
One of, if not the best roofing video available to watch. If you are wondering how to approach a roof covering procedure, watch this video for sure!
thank you Shannon,you're awesome.starting tomorrow I'm a roofing contractor. if everyone in Canada is as nice as you I'm moving there.
Shannon looks like a kind soul, and seems like a great teacher. Would love to learn everything he has to offer. Great videos! Thank you for passing on the knowledge.
Man, this guy always puts out some serious quality videos. There are a lot of other channels that specialize in roofing, or decks, or framing, or siding or other aspects of house work, but Shannon has a video or series on all of that in one channel. This dude is incredibly well rounded.
He's definitely not a roofer. He's also possibly left handed so he can't be trusted.
Hey @HouseImprovements thank you so much for this man I've been working with a contractor for about a month now and this helped a lot. Its way easier for me to get a basic understanding of something, and then go into the job. Keep it up.
Love your videos. I discovered you six years ago. You were teaching me how to correctly install a window. A lot has changed since the 1960s and 70s. The construction materials are much better and the techniques and codes are substantailly better as well. I apprciate all of your help. The window looks great and the home owners association are no longer complaining after I successfully finished. I'm doing more roof work this weekend with gutter work. Thanks again for all of your help.
Great to hear!
Thank you, thank you! ....you always come throught when we need you!
I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate these videos and the detailed explanations they contain. I did my roof just last year so I won't actually be able to put any of this into practice (unless I buy a house that needs a roof job), but I really enjoy watching this to perfect my knowledge and see what I did right! :) Thank you once again Shannon for sharing these! Cheers!
I took a job as a project consultant for a local roofing company. This is good stuff for people doing research
Thank you so much. Happens that I was in Dayton trying to find some one to do my roof, and I had to come back to California, and I had just a few days. Since winter is coming I didn't find anyone. So, I have to call a friend of mine who is a roofer, and we along with a helper, did the job. For me, it was a heavy work to do, but it was rewarding, specially that my fried had just 2 days to help me, and the second day was raining. Since then, I wanted to learn more, and these 3 videos, have teached me a lot. Thanks for taking the time to teach us how to. I'm already a fan of you man. Take care and God bless
Always enjoy watching your videos Shannon, whether or not I need the information because I always seem to pick up a few new tips here and there. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and explaining each step as you move along. A Big Thumbs-Up!!
+GunsHarleysUSA Thanks, glad to see you are still following us GunsHarleysUSA
+HouseImprovements Yeah, I'm still around and I view all your videos as I get notified every time you post a new one. Have a safe one Shannon.....
If you follow this guys tips you will be doing it wrong.
Why isn't anyone addressing the fact that the nails are exposed at the seams. Can anyone say leaks?
joseph blackburn Totally agree! It has happened with roofs I have got called out to inspect. Number one area for water to run into to.
He explained everything very well I feel like a pro now ...also I subbed...
Thank you so much Shannon. After watching your 3 videos on how to install roof shingles, I attacked our cottage woodshed roof, replaced the sheathing with plywood and underlayment, and then architectural shingles, and got the job done. It looks amazing, and your videos were very helpful, informative, and explained in a simple way for beginners like me. Thank you again.
I agree with Jason in that some, no matter what, can't be happy or pleased! But as for me and mine we APPRECIATE y'all taking the time to put these helpful videos out. Y'all don't have to do this, but y'all are. And it SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER AND SOUL!!! Thanks bro! God bless!
This dude videos are bout as good as you can find. He could probably teach any home owner alot just with these videos. Please keep them coming.
He can not only teach homeowners alot, what about the workers that think they know what they're doing, but do shitty work? Shannon is awesome. He does most of the work himself.
His nail placement is bad. You don't want nails near where the shingles split.
This series was great. I was able to re-shingle my shed this past summer with your instructions and tips. Thank you.
thanks for making these videos. very detailed and easy to follow. I'm building a storage shed 12'x16' and your videos have helped tremendously
You know you have a good contractor when he pulls out the tape to prove the length of the nail. God bless you, sir
Best instructor on roofing,that I have seen yet.Thank you
This is ALL wrong...
@@stevelorenz1825 how is it wrong?
I can’t thank you enough for these videos! I did the first half of my two car garage this past weekend using your steps cross referenced against the manufacture instructions to see if I’d be up to doing the whole house. I need to get some more people involved to speed it up but it turned out great and I feel very comfortable now with the process. I love guys like you who make “you can do it” videos as compared to how contractor web sites tell how complicated it is and just leave it to a pro. At least In my case where I have a pretty simple low pitch ranch roof. You’re the man!!!
This is a great video, just survived hurricane Michael, roofers are very busy and I'm last in line, start to finish, your video is a great tool, thank you.
Thanks a lot. I've done a lot of commercial roofing but not much shingles. I needed a refresher course and thanks to you it all came back to me. You make it seem effortless and I love your calm demeanor. By far the best shingle roofing video from start to finish on youtube. Great Work! It truly was a pleasure. Thanks again!!
Glad it helped!
Nice I love these series, kind of like your shed and deck series
+t dub Yup, there is way to much info to give in only one video .
Very nice , ery nice!
This guy is out to lunch, don't listen to any lesson he have regarding shingling or you'll have many leaks and wind damage
Shannon. I want to thank you for doing these videos. I am a divorced woman who all of a sudden has to take care of these "man things" (I am aware that is sexist and I apologize), and I appreciate the useful information that you provide.
No problem ,we are glad to help
sandra james that isnt sexist...that is reality...the liberal commies in this world have floated the BULLSHIT narrative that there is no difference between males and females..this is simply not true...males are rough and utilitarian while women are tender and comforting...fuck these commies who are trying to destroy the roles of men and women
Follow his advice and you will be fucked
@@leerichards3682 100% he needs to delete these videos
Apologize for what? Men take care of tasks like these and women raise the kids and cook
Yes, Shannon. Finally I get to see somebody who knows what in the hell they are doing. Every now and then you see some people that don't, just people that think they do. You have a friend in me there buddy. Thanks.
This guys does NOT know what he’s doing lol. That’ll leak for sure. 100%
Thanks Shannon for this video. I feel better prepared to do mine. I'll obviously have experienced people with me but seeing this series helped me a lot.
After watching more than 10 movies is the most useful for me.
Wonderful clear explanation.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Watch where you put you nails! You do not want a nail within 3” of where two shingles butt side by side. The first shingle on his second course lands right on a nail. If this happens throw a dab of caulking or maybe a little piece of ice and water to cover it because it could possibly leak. Also snapping lines every five courses will save you lot of headaches. Great video though. You make it easy for most beginners to grasp the basics. Great vid!
Lmao...I said the same thing...
That nail will be a problem in the future for sure
Well said
He nailed ever single shingle wrong and all the pipes are roofed around wrong
I'm not a roofer but I know a nail isn't supposed to be close to a keyway.. thanks for saving my time watching lol
I am so happy to find your video. Now I am ready to roof my shed. Keep up the good work. Your speed for presenting the knowledge is excellent.
Excellent video. Your description is detailed so me as a rookie could do my shed roof by following your instructions. Also appreciate the little tips here and there. Many thanks.
Your adhesive will stop oozing if you turn the rod, when not using it, to disengage the plunger. Why is there no underlayment under the ridge cap ?
Different building code...he doesn't live next to you
You guys do the best videos, great detail and real world examples. Thanks!
+John Baker Thank you
Wrong. videos are nice, but shannon is making a huge error- nails exposed on seams. Bad form.
joseph blackburn ok so besides the nails being exposed is everything else ok to follow?
@@joshcostello5278 watch someone like Roofing Solutions by Eric Garcia. Nails in or close to the keyway (where shingles butt up and overlap the one below) will leak. I've had to do complete tear offs 5-7 after the roof was installed because of installation practices like this. Water travels 3-4" to either side of these keyways. Unfortunately there are so many wrong recommendations. I appreciate his enthusiasm but technique and application will result in leaks
Great informative video like usual, I just finished shingling my shed it took me a while but I did it thanks to you sir!
Your videos are really outstanding. I appreciate your details and your explanations over every step you take. Your tile videos are also great.
Hey man you’re genuine😀you are the freaking man dude thank you for taking the time to make this videos!
I appreciate that!
I have had so many home repair and construction projects and this guy is consistently makes the best videos with the best instructions. I have always had success using Shannon as my reference. Thank you!
@@HouseImprovements
Maybe you should learn how to roof First🤷♂️
@@openyoureyes1481 Maybe you should learn how to spell.
James Scheidt Maybe you should learn proper book English. Do you ever hear of translate. Maybe you should point out what Google translated wrong🤷🏻♀️
Old enough to know what typewriters are. LOL, I remember when my Mom brought home one of the first electric typewriters.
An excellent video. I am reshingling a small shed roof and this is really going to help me. Thank you again
Thank you for all the videos you put out. I really like how you explain everything in detail. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼👍🏼
Hey brother, the way you did roofing would it be correct to learn from this video, because a lot of people said your doing it wrong, so we as viewers want to learn the right way, your videos are awesome, and you explain very well, thanks again for taking your time and teaching us, i always respect hard workers
There are some negative comment,yes. This video shows you how to shingle a roof ,maybe my nail placement is off in a few areas but I know there are no leaks as we had an over ordinary amount of rain this year and this is my home, no sign of leaks at all. Read your shingle manufactures suggested nail placement on the shingle package and follow that. Some do not like what I used for starter strips but in my area thats what pretty much everyone has done for years and believe me it gets windy here on the Saskatchewan prairies and I do not know that I have ever seen a roof start lifting and rip off right at the starter strip edge? It does not matter what you post you always get some" haters" but the funny thing is I have never seen one of them post their "right " video on You tube?
Grey Fox23 hes doing wrong...bery very wrong
@@rudystraight1750 For sure you are right....even though Owens Corning says the nails should be approximately 1 inch from the ends and spread along the asphault nailing strip. You are right and the manufacturer knows nothing.
Grey Fox23 What is doing wrong if you look is the nail placement the shingles he puts above the neck shingle the nail seem to be hitting right on the seems of that shingle every time and that will leak over time. Not now but later. A lot of roofers make that mistake even my guys have done it I have to get on them all the time common mistake
The nail heads will eventually rust out leaving an area water can permeate through. It isnt leaking YET..
Tip, to stop the oozing from the caulk gun, when done twist the lever Handel, this will release any pressure and not not make a mess. BTW GREAT VIDEO. THANKS
That lever he pushed on the back of the gun is the release for those type guns, (i have four of them) . Twisting the plunger rod does nothing. Its Blackjack. That stuff will ooze out of the tube even if you immediately take it out of the gun. I usually stick the nose in the nearest pipe vent.
If this was done properly no tar would be needed.
A W Smith that doesn't sound like a good idea for the homeowner's plumbing venting. That would be partially stopping up the vent pipe. Hopefully it didn't ooze too much down into that pipe causing an obstruction.
I just want to say thank you for sharing this video and teaching people so many bad habits, I get many days worth of work fixing issues from people doing there roofs like this. Although I will say it's nice to see you using 2 passes of ice
I really enjoy your videos. They are so clear and concise and make me feel confident that I will be able to tackle the job without issues.
Great to hear!
Keep ur nails at least 3" away from rain line
Thank you, it was cringe to watch it happen over and over. Nail pattern matters.
That and don't use BP Mystiques, they are garbage.
Sorry for my ignorance but I’m curious. What’s s the rain line?
Great job. Really appreciate your passing on this info to help us out.
you are welcome
Thanks again Shannon....Ever since I started watching your awesome videos, I'm able to do my home projects on my own. Thanks for making these video's! BLESSINGS;
Andrew....
+jenyminor Thanks ,we try our best
Great videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise! I'm confident I can take on re-roofing my cottage now.
He's really good teacher slowly and easily wooow 5 star👍 thanks lot my friend. God bless you.
alright explanation why it will leak: when he installs a shingle he places a nail right where the two shingles above it butt up to eachother the rain will run in that space and eventually it's going to rust out that nail and cause a leak. you want those nail about 5"-6" inches away from that location.
Thank you very much for pointing that out.
According to GAF, nails should be 1/2" to 2 1/2" from edges. Looks like he is at least 1/2" in from each edge. Here is my sorce: www.gaf.com/Residential_Roofing/Shingles/Timberline_Cool_Series/Timberline_Series_Application_Instructions_English_Spanish_French.pdf. Nailing pattern is on page 4 of 13.
Anthony Davis no es el caso siempre
Anthony seems like you know what your doing, can you please upload a video on how to shingle the right way, you seem like you know what your doing, you look like a construction expert, if you can't upload videos can you recommend us some books to read, and learn from, thanks again brother
Wow how many years would it take to have that nail rust completely away? I think by that time you are ready for a new roof! My nail placement was not ideal in a few spots I agree though.
Perfect explanation with just the right amount of information. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Excellent job explaining on explaining the entire roofing project. Roofs do get a little hard on the knees.
Your nails are in your key ways. It’s going to leak. And your starting on the right side. It’s important to know your nail placement.
What do you mean by key ways?
key ways? please explain
@@MrBlankNJones I think it's the tiny suave where one single ends and the other one begins
Nails should be at least 3 inches from the butt ends. So water can’t find its way in.
@@robhodge7812 nails should be 5 1/2 inches away on low pitches, 3 inches is ok on steeper ones
the 'underlayment' is called ice and water here in ct.
ya there are a few different "names" ,ice and water, grip guard, membrane.
There's a difference between underlayment and ice and water shield right? Underlayment is felt
I'm not a roofer. I load roofing trucks. Underlayment (felt) and ice and water shield goes on just about every job. Along with. Starter and hip and ridge. If the job is arch
can i just use felt
Thanks!!! Really enjoy all your videos! I appreciate all the detail myself. I'm a big diy'er and I forget some of the little things because it's been so long since I had to tackel something and the detail really helps, thanks again!
you are welcome
Thank you man. These videos were very informative and straight forward. You're a good guy for helping us with your knowledge.
Wheres the beers bud?
First thing. Open a beer!
This was the perfect level of information, thanks!
Great video.After watching this I see the roofing company screwed me with improperly putting on my new roof.Never going to happen again.Thanks a million
I’d bet you that most of the dislikes are roofers or half ass roofers that caught feeling or have issues of him showing your average joe that they can do shingles them selves and or how it’s properly done his way of roofing. A Great 3 part tutorial on installing roofing shingles and round venting cutouts. Great proper work sir.
thank you
is going to leak because how u shot the nails
Alfredo Sanchez medas vergüenza no sabes nada
19:50 - Typical construction pose. "Where's my __________?"
I make that pose at leased 6 times a day. Where the @#&$* did I put that %&@#$ .......
Thank you for the detailed descriptions on a shingle roof, I learned a great deal.
Gonna grab a square, (shrugs arms), LMFAO! I can definitely relate to that! Great video series. Best I've seen on CZcams. This is what I have been watching while I do my roof. I've done some roof repair, but this is the first time I've done a complete roofing job, (doing my home to save some $$). Many thanks.
All the negative comments suck! Great video! All the haters fly away and try an make a better video if you don't like it.
You are a misinformed Idiot!;;;!!!!!!!!
Never criticize someone teaching the wrong methods & wasting ppl thousands of dollars thats just rude!
You don't put nails in the butt joints
I noticed this too. I just did my first roof and the instructions that came with my shingles say 1” from joints. I stayed probably about 1.5” away on all my shingles. Another thing when I had bought my house, the flashings on the roof all had nails on the bottom right and left corners which all leaked water. Just like Shannon here, the nails are too close to the corners and water will eventually get under the nails from water run off. Seems like I see a lot of people doing this. Otherwise great video showing the entire process...
love these how to roofing videos! We have a bunch of how to roof leak detection and roof repair videos. This guy is great, keep up the good work!
Like the other guy said, you definitely come across as genuine, thank you for all your efforts, if you ever want to learn rock sculpting, ask me,
Love the nails where the seams are :)
Always makes me laugh when I see tape measures while roofing
Also if you don't want caulk coming out like crazy stop squeezing before the final bead..
Ken Shmo Shut up, I'm sure if you really knew what you were doing you wouldn't be on CZcams. I'm sure your a joy to work with (know it all attitude)
KingJamesVL
Geez.. so sorry for pointing out your boyfriends mistakes..
agree 100 percent.nailing most important thing that lot of guys dont get trained or explained.6 inch stagger no nails within 6 inch of seam duuhh..right?homeowners think roofin is easy....it is if u r trained..ha ha ...il fix it for 100 per hr
On every shingle you applied, the 2nd nail from the left is a leak. Your stagger is falling right on that nail.
I was about to slap this guy through my phone!! It may not leak if it is over ice shield......but over normal felt or woven sheilding it most likely would. I can't believe this guy is doing roofing professionally! And trying to "instruct" others at that!
Great informative video. Doing our shingles in the spring and definitely feel more comfortable doing them. Ours is gable with a peak on one side. Also doing neighbour's roof with him so will get lots of practice. Will start on backside first incase any mistakes made, wont be visible from the street! Haha
I read a lot of stuff, but this video REALLY helped me put a new roof on my garage!
You seem to have your seams falling on a nail, pretty sure you need to drop that second nail back about 6 inches to keep from having a leak
Code calls for 4 inches each way, so about 8 minimum. But you are correct, his nail pattern is off and he has nails directly under a seam.
Question: do you up-vote your own videos 1500 times?
The drip edge always goes on first, along all eaves and rakes for a gable roof, even on shitty OSB. This is done to enable the ice & water to do its job of shedding any water that gets under any shingles so the water can run over the drip edge into the gutter.
Never shoot a roofing nail mid-length through a full size shingle or partial where a nail will break on a seam. .That's guaranteed water coming in through the roof, unless caulk sealed. These shingles only need four evenly spaced nails.
If you have a 4-in-12 slope or shallower, ice&water the whole thing. No point hauling up a roll of felt, which nowadays is synthetic.
Starter strips should be half width, cut down the length. With laminated shingles, straight along the back seam. Never use full shingles for starter strips. Defeats the purpose of channeling water inward away from the rake edges and results in weak shingle adhesion at the eaves. A good gust will blow the eave shingles up.and pull the nails loose .
The caulking is totally good, best thing about the work. I would use clear. Black is an eyesore if you miss.
On any roofing job, start and finish every step before going on to the next. Drip edges till done; then ice&water; then starter strips, then shingles; then ridge. No leap frogging. No start, stop, start. Materials are heavy enough as is. .
Right on. Can you put a link up that would take us directly to your video on this subject matter? I think it would be great to watch and learn from a true know it all.😀🥇
Oh, nevermind. It must have gotten accidentally deleted, because the only video I seen on your channel was how to change a wheel bearing. I didn't watch it, but I'm fairly positive that if I would have, I very well could of been your third subscriber. Who's your sponsors?😁
Thanks Shannon, incredible, great video, you walked me through my whole roofing project! I'll send you a cyber beer!
Cheers!
I love how thorough you are about everything!
He's also thoroughly incorrect on most if not everything he shows
Your nailing are on the seems. Their gonna leak forsure
you're* they're*
@@chrisgradio 😂😂😂
He's nailing as per Manufacturers specs, and in the nailing area. looks good to me. the tar strip will seal around the nails.
that roof is going to leak every where your nail placement sucks.
agreed bud, 6 nails is good but not where the shinlges meet.
chrris jaaksin can you guys explain a bit more about nail placement and where it should have been placed? Thanks!

Anthony Davis so basically do exactly what he does except read the package to see the recommended nailing pattern and placement?
(I'm trying to learn)
I don't think he s going to reply. Obviously probably because he doesn't know?
This is awesome. Thank you so much! Also, the hands at 19:48 explain me working all the time. Where did I put that square...
