- Veteran constructions episode 2. tips and tricks for valleys and 8/12 specific. theres some gems in here that i wish were taught to me sooner. For questions please comment. as always, like and definitely subscribe!
Makes my back hurt just watching. Get this man a harness and new skivvies. Stay in school kids, or you'll be on a roof too.
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 CZcams (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!
@@CalebNorris16 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"
@@Gallegos78 lmao!! byeeee thanks for the good comment thread. Read a book
Says the rando watching a roofing video lmao
I’m hiding in the bathroom at work not working, watching a video of a person working lol.
Lmfao enjoy that poop brotha
😆😆
Just told on yourself now thay know
I caught the FNG in the portapotty talking to his girlfriend so I pounded
Who wants to spend money on underwear when you can spend it on beer.
He probably did that earlier in the day. The integrity of anything that goes on a roof is finite at best lol😅
He keeps the air compressor humming. Makes my 68year old back ache just watching this man work
My 63 year old back hurts watching him . 50 yrs. of Concrete !
I install garage doors for a living .. brother I watch roofers all day.. mad respect to yall for sure much love man! Cause I damn sure ain't doing no 12 12 roof lol much love!!😎👊
It’s do a good job
Thanks, man! It's been over a decade I did a roof, this was a good refresher to doing my own. Keep up the great content.
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.
Good god that nail pattern and the precise slow methodical way you move up the valley with out losing your line or making a single mistake my hats off to you your experience speaks for itself
I appreciate that brotha. Lots of attention to detail. Drill it correctly and the right way usually becomes the fast way
Oh my back , young man ! Concrete for 50 yrs. myself ! Looking good !
thank you. plenty more coming!!
Watching this at 4am....falling asleep to the sweet sound of laying shingles.....nice work
He would be faster in a Thong.
hahahaha good one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Summer attire!
Dum ass needs to get faster so he can afford a new pair of underwear
@@allenbaldwinjr1267 My thoughts exactly!
I did my roof this year, my first and only!! It was the most difficult job a did in my life! Great job Veteran, it look like easy for you!
I feel ya there man. 16 squares by myself last year... Next and only roof I'll ever do again is gonna be 2 squares on a shed with a 4/12 😆
Somebody get him some new undies. He does a damn good job, wish there more guys like him that pays attention to detail!! Good job bro. Now that's how you lay shingles, straight up
That's probably because he ain't making enough to get a new pair.. I've been there
I can’t believe all the hate comments the guy is pretty quick and he’s doing a valley so it takes a little longer 100 percent guarantee all the hate is from people that couldn’t hit a stud to hang a picture
It's not hate it's typical Roofing on a non walkable if you can't do it you're not a roofer
Should have upsold to metal Valley I hate putting nails close to the valley
This dude is taking his precious time.. he ain't going fast at all.. but at least he nailing where it's supposed to
He’s clearly on contract, people by the hour don’t work like this 😂💰
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
@@amazingcaucasian1 well some people get paid by the bundle when you roof. I been roofing for 16 years myself. So saving your boss the extra bundle ain’t saving you nothing. Unless it’s your company than you want everyone to use there pieces when cutting them off the edge and use them in the valley.
I get paid by the hour but I also work like him to a point this will be my tenth year roofing 6th season as an installer and things like waste and making clean up simple is always on my mind because it makes the day go by faster plus when I'm done installing we can get in are trucks and go straight home, the laborers can clean up faster because I wasn't a dick just throwing my shit just anywhere lol same concept for waste cleaning up 100 tiny little pieces all over the roof is time consuming XD I don't mind long days but I also like doing shit that's not work haha like who really likes this working for money thing it's kinda shitty
When I did roofing we got paid by the day.. and these Mexicans would have us working 12 to 14 hours a day!!! Oh but you gonna get "100" for sure oh wait but if we took long to finish a house you get paid less than a "100" per day... That sht didn't add up... Specially since I spoke English I got to see how much they get per house or the BOSS and they do get paid Good! It's just they don't pay their workers good... So I left.. I got tired of hearing " you wanted the US" "it's more than what you make in Mexico" but we are not in MEXICO or Mexican economy.. and also their favorite line "what all can you do at they job? You want more money"
@@guichozuniga7385 sounds like u wasnt a good worker i give my helpers at least 150 if they work ok and if they work pretty good i give em up to 250 a day plus if theyre smart enough to learn the trade i pay intallers by the piece but if i get a helper that wants to speak more than work thats his first and last day with me on the job
Only that that just hurts me is not wearing gloves. He has his balance like he has done it for a while but man gloves. Anyone want to call me a princess or I’m not a man but your hands are important you need to take care of them regardless if you don’t like gloves. Take care of your body when it’s healthy because there’s no point of trying to fix the damage already done, when it’s too late. I am 18 and I work in stucco Plastering but props to you guys man !
Thanks for the comment! 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. No smoking, driiiinking or drug's
Great video. About to do my first steep roof (2nd roof ever. I did the garage and it was a 5/12) and this video helped me out a lot. Thank you
💥 bam! maims the homeowner with a flying shingle 😂
Just stay safe, no job is worth your health, pray to the Lord you never hit the Ground. Stay safe and great work. I think the pattern looks even better from the ground.😉
Always safety firth
Since when does "pray to the Lord" do anything, besides never.
Remember, if you fall, your fired before you hit the ground. (good ol construction humor)
@@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113 starting a god debate on a roofing video
Manny Jr, there’s no pattern, it’s random
Meanwhile: called the guy back 15 times during the year because wind is blowing pieces off
Dude you ruined the wedge love making pillow!!!! Lol. You do a great job,I don’t roof often I’m a big guy, only thing I would do is have a plank at the bottom to set stuff on ect. So many guys don’t even know how to start roofing,I’ve seen drip edge on top of the grace,nails everywhere,ect ect. What guys don’t understand is that at the end of the day you’re gonna definitely have more squares on working your steady,efficient system..the crack roofers come in and make a huge mess and lots of noise,but there’s no quality.. good job!!👍👍👍
beast, need 2x's to hold shingles but nothing holding you good athlete helps, no big fat gut or other problems, great job on 8/12 work
Great vids, I'm a new sub after watching your 2 sq in 15 vid. I'm a fairly new roofer but I'm soaking up all the info I can. Looks like I found paydirt. Keep it up.
Awesome. You have the key ingredients already! Good judgment and seeking knowledge are always going to be the most important tools at becoming successful. Be safe out there bud
Aaron K literally me too wtf Aaron 🤣
I had a guy kinda like him teach me back in the 80's. Kinda. Dude knew what he was doing more yelling and cursing. Lmao
Man I came across your other videos and it made me want to start shingling
I’ve been Framing for 9 years and the roof was always my favourite part of the house.
I called a roofing company 2 weeks ago and been working for them and did 85 bundles my first day on a cottage roof that was a 8/12 and already prepped but using your techniques, I killed it
Gotta say thanks for the videos man!
I'm glad to help and I really appreciate the feedback....but what kind of bundles were they and what kind of cottage lol because I don't think there is many people out there that can do that...even if they were shingling for years haha I hope you kept the quality good! I talk a lot about being fast but its all about the quality
Man Ive never met anyone faster on a Framing nailer then me man, that’s why I had to hop on a roofing nailer after watching your video. Hearing you say you can make crazy money in a day
I’ll be sure to make a video on Monday when I’m back at it.
How can I tag you in it so you can see it
All I care about is quality man. Family business here!
It was a 12 hr shift btw
Timberline Hd
Idk how to tag on here. But you can comment the link on one of my videos n I'll usually see it
You are incredible brother. You walk on that roof better than some people walk on a sidewalk. I would still put a rope on me. One little slip is all it takes. Love your channel. All the best!!
Thanks bud! I look forward to hearing from you regularly! Safety first my man
Yeah back in the day. We used to have one man throwing and the other air nail . That was fast.
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 !
I was never crazy about those ridge runners. Their ok. The fastest roofing gun was an orange paslode. You could rapid fire with it faster and more accurate the anything. It's was the best gun for me anyway. They discontinued them. I wore out one a year! Keep rocking man! Your on it!
they don't make ridge runners anymore That's just a Bostitch coil gun
Only thing I’d suggest is putting the right side shingle first to make sure you come out straight and just flush the valley shingle but you looked like you were coming out straight either way so good shit my guy
Well done. A steady speed with well placed nails is much better then a guy trying to show off for the camera and nailing incorrectly.
Thank you! Wish everybody saw it your way
dude, by the looks of your undies, you're literally working your ass off!
Love your vids, never miss a one. Keep em coming
I like how you started in the valley, and worked out from there it speeds the whole process up quite a bit. I've been on jobs where guys will start down work up and into the valley. Your way seems much easier.
You ever hear that saying, ALWAYS put on a clean pair underwear because you never know when you'll might be in a accident. This man must have not known he was going to be on camera today!!!! Or just did not have any clean underwear that day, so this was the only pair that he had....
I devil I have learned something today but I still can't get over those dam underwear!!! LOL,LOL

Awesome work man, I've got to redo my roof, I'd rather do it myself than a lot of these old boys here in Frankfort ky...I've never done one so I'm trying to learn.... keep up the awesome work man...
Dude can shingle for me any day. Skilled roofer, and I would buy him new drawz
Me: "Put down that frickin' camera and get over here and feed me shingles!"
Haaaaha this is for educational purposes. I wish I got to see detail like this when i was first shingling
Detail look closer. He voided the manufacture warranty by the shingle he started on. Its overlapped in the wrong direction. Now the homeowner has ro deal with the warrenty guy saying the shingles are installed wrong.
This guy's bad ass, steep pitch, not even phased. My backs hurting just watching.
I luv this job I’m also a roofer in Newzealand salute bro
Great work. My ankles hurt just watching. And yes, I have underwear just like that.
No belt, no knee pads , no tool belt. Good here for sure.
Learning new small tips while watching your vids, youre the king of EFFICIENCY. Lets see your techniques on doing tear offs!! Please
Will be coming shortly! I got so much going on I cannot wait to make videos for. Got a big job next week that is a steeper roof, siding, soffit, fascia and gutters all in one. Plus my flip house needs anything you can think of from framing to drywall to trim, doors, bathrooms, window wraps. Etc.
@@NWIVeteranConstruction instead of flip ,keep it and rent it out.I been doing that since 1984 in oakland, ca
@@redwood6737 absolutely! I call it a flip because its getting demo'd and ii'm redoing everything myself. I paid cash for it, fixing it cash, then leveraging against the equity to get cash back In my pocket to start another while i rent this one out

This is the best way to do it. Always valley first. Just finished my first 8/12 on my spec, wish I could have watched this first probably would have finished a day early!!!
I think I told you this video was coming lol sorry I was a day or 2 late
Veteran Construction haha no problem bro. I could have used it. I was dead everyday from the heat. Knees and feet destroyed. I’m in ellettsville IN!
Fuckinnn brutal right now. This week is about to be fucked if you don't already know
Veteran Construction yea this whole week I was scorched. Long sleeves and pants. I got my roof knocked out, going back Monday morning for ridges tho. But no more roofing till my next house lol.
Yup. I just finished mine up this morning. Would've finished yesterday but the laborers could'nt stop scarring up the shingles so we left at 2.
Great video.
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.
Great video. Keep up the good work.
This is ASMR for the working man -Tim Allen grunt here-
Hello, I am a 36 year old father of 4 and husband of 1 lol. I am currently at a hotel waiting to take my medical exam at the MEPS here in Louisville. I have beat my body up being a laborer over the years and I really enjoy watching your videos, keep doing what you are doing sir. Hope the best for you and yours from me and mine.
Are you joining at age 36?

@@NWIVeteranConstruction I'm your apprentice roofer:) Gotta leak in a valley and decided to replace it all myself. Thanks for taking the time to teach us your craft!
So if I'm not mistaken this is just an elaborate Asics commercial
About 2 minutes on that roof they’d be picking my as- off the ground.
That has to be the hardest job in construction.
I do roof everyday. I go home with back pain.
Safety first, my friend.
Great job.
you are the ultimate bad ass roofer. that belt and harness would get in your way for sure. The foam pad does the job for keeping you on the roof. got your button because your on the low side for getting paid. you should be paid for those roofing demos. 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. Roofers make money in CA because of the workers comp OMG.
I run two shingles up the valley. You could have had the outside one nailed and valley shingle butted before you were done messing with lining up the valley shingles. You're going back down to add the second row every few so why not do them both at once? Less trips up and down and straight everytime without even thinking.
Yea would have been a lot easier but apparently some people "never done roofing" is all I seen on the comments..
you need to get this man a feeder so he can just lay it down
Yep...the cost of a laborer is nothing compared to the amount of squares that can be laid out. The extra production pays for the laborer and stresses the mechanic a lot less. He can just blow through bundles all day non-stop and stay in that flow.
@White Wild yep theres very few people who can feed. I'm quicker myself as well. Stay out of the way.
I've been a roofer for 23 years and still teach myself better/easier ways. Watching your videos, I can tell, you take pride especially nail placement. I like some of the ways you did things, which is similar to mine especially cutting the rake stair step. Maybe I can get a video of me doing that and some other things to share if you'd like! Keep up with what you do bro!
Is a pleasure to watch someone take pride in the roofing game. Been an avid shingler for 25 years so appreciate the atonement and focus. Cheers to loving what you do🍻
I held my breath, Throughout the ho Videoing💖 I'm so glad, Neither one of them fail, from the rooftop. GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS..

I'm a crane operator, I know nothing about roofing. When I first started in my trade I used to try to do everything as fast as possible and a lot of times I'd have to go back and redo something. I had an older operator who had been doing it longer than Id been alive stopped me one day and said, son you need to slow down to speed up. I thought at the time he didn't know what he was talking about, now 15 years later I know what exactly he means.
Very true! Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
@@@NWIVeteranConstruction , electrical trade is the same way. One time, the Right way.
We had a saying at my first job Palm harbor homes do it right the first time. I just hope you pass on the words of wisdom that were passed on to you and hopefully it changes somebody's life. Old wise man always right
The pop up info about singling the valleys was great .lots of people get lost or start climbing up hill or going downhill when they run the valley up. 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
Dude..... You are a roofing maniac! Loved watching this!!
Wait til tomorrow! Subscribe if you haven't. I set a literal world record. Can't wait to show you guys
@@NWIVeteranConstruction Subscribed... doing my 5/12 for the last few days, and you make me feel inspired (and I'm 55!). Love it. Keep at it Dude!!! Never give up!!!
Well I can tell you this in Australia you would never be aloud up on that roof without safety gear on but in saying that he’s doing a bloody good job
Just like there are two kinds of motorcycle riders, there are two kinds of roofers. Those that have fallen off a roof and those that will! I have packaged up more than a few.
I’m sitting down on a 5/12 rooftop. Tied off and scooting around because I can’t get traction. No way for me to do this.Of course I’m 75 years old,maybe that had a lot to do with it.
Know the feeling, dude. I was skittish on a 4/12 and had to work my way up to a 6. I got up on my 8 a few months ago and it gave me an anxiety attack. No way would I do that again.
@Steph Watson I've been terrified of heights my whole life. What I was able to do was an accomplishment. Now i can walk around on a 6 no sweat
@Steph Watson yeah, it's not actually being up there that bothers me, it's the thought of falling that bugs me
You ever roll an ankle doing that? Mine roll anytime they get half a chance, I'd be crawling around like a scared baby up there :) Nice work, and stay safe!
Just love to see the correct PPE being used on a jobsite...Those boxers are gonna work just fine when you slip one day!
That is such hard work. I have done it. He makes it look effortless.
Good job. Moving right along.
To all those that make negative remarks, should STFU! Roofing is one of the hardest jobs in construction! I doubt there are Mexicans that can do this job any faster by their self.
What does this have to so with Mexicans or race? 🤔 don't be an idiot?. Dont reproduce.🤦♂️

Kasey (Hide) say hi to trump for me enjoy your day (sir)
I learned a lot of new shit from this video keep up the good 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. Anywho have a great day man and keep up the good work. Its only positive feed back that's all, I'm not trying to offend you.
Watch my most recent videos on the pitch hopper and you'll be stunned! I also would love to see you shingle man. I used to comment on other people's videos n then one day I was like, enough talk, let me show these fools! So come on with it I love seeing other shinglers bustin stuff out. I got challenges you can do too
Really nice work> BTW when does the worlds fastest shingler start?
and worlds fastest trip to the ER
Use bundle buddies,just a 3" L bracket with one of the holes notched out like a jack. Takes seconds to put in,and no risk like shoving a loose jack under a shingle. Holds a bundle better than a one nailed jack
That Jack isn't nailed. I slide it under to hold my bundles and it just stays there. Then I got nothing to nail. I put toe boards on in sketchier situations but this one was easy. Walkable, not a far fall even If i went, and very short little 5 bundle thing
This is good.. I’m busy putting up metal on a 8/12 and while handling tin sheets is a little more difficult it’s still difficult moving around like that on a 8/12 especially if you are having to movie around on 30 plus year old shingles. I got tired just watching this guy getting his shingles, nailing and moving like he does on that roof.
Roofing isn’t easy. Hard on the back, hard on the knees and hot as hell in warm weather.
Must respect for you sir, I know I could never do this job, and yes without a doubt this is the hardest most dangerous job in home construction.
Not even close to the hardest job in in home construction...
I don't know about world's fastest roofer but work looks clean professional keeping the roof Clean and safe as well as nail pattern looks to be about perfect from someone who has done it for 20 years themself looks good to me
You don't know anything bruh this guy Is pro as fuck
Here I am, on a sunday which is my only day off watching videos of work lol... wtf
Hey man I’m in trade school right now for carpentry I’m MN. But I had a question could you maybe do a video or maybe explain the foam. Like is that part of your kit? And if so can you maybe go over your tool kit and what are maybe some tips for me and others. Thanks man.
Its just a couch cushion. N I usually don't use one.. hate to admit I kind of liked it. And it just helps you stick to the roof without scarring up the shingles
What he said. Roof gang!
Thanks. That makes sense. Are u considering using it on future jobs?
@@hunterjohnson6005 absolutely, wondering how I went so long without it
Worlds Fastest Shingler thanks. I think I’ll add something similar
Got to be Holy, when your way up there!
I did this for 25 years, had a sore back all the time. i saved my money and retired at 45. knobs around my right wrist and sore right elbow.since then the back feels great the bursis bumps on my wrist have repaired.
they called me names ...fastest gun in the west, hydraulic arm wrestler but i advise roofers to save your money and maybe build a few houses on the side. your body only does this for so long and your luck about falling is a factor. did 40 squares in a long day once ,an easy pitch with 2 sides.
Sounds like my life story lol I'm already working on it
Dude i freaken love it! I was taught the foam foot back in the early 90's by an "old guy"......he was probably 32-33 🤣😂
That’s not fast. That’s average speed for roofer with a lil knowledge
Waylon Porter Jesus fucking Christ just let the man roof!
Pop your lines wtf is that . if you cant run shingles step fashion after 1 year without chaulk im taking all your buisness.
Ive been roofing for 2 years and I'm faster its the easier trade to pick up just nobody wants to do the labor aspect
@@ifitdontshatteritdontmatte4715 because it's so damn hot, at least in the south east
Brickcloud you need to know nailing pattern LMFAO😂🤣😂😂😊
thats a snail's pace in Florida

Great video. I am a fellow roofer from Canada. Keep up the good work mate 👍
I saw a video post WW II in SF Calif showing a guy going faster than that using hammer and nails !
Seems to be a hard working dude with good experience but not sure the speed is exceptional lol
Set the playback speed to 2
ClickProvider wow I did just that and apologise he is super fast now :)
He has good rhythm, no need to go faster, quality is far more important.
My dad was a roofer, I would watch that man put rows of nails in between his fingers and his mouth and nail a shingle on as fast as that nail gun. Its a hard back breaking living.
I've never been jealous of a roofer
Bro is getting paid by the square... that's why he keeps ripping tabs and putting them in his pocket! 😂
i'm sitting here watching some guy do shingles..
Lol me 2
This man should be wearing a safety harness. He is just putting his self in jeopardy and for what? A few dollars? Foolish to think you have everything under control, 'that your king, and nothing will happen to you. I watched a man slide down a roof and take a great fall, landing face to the sky and back across a brick wall. This man did not hang shingles no more. He had broken his back and was done with work maybe for the rest of his life. I really don't know what had happen to him after he left the job. Just saying mate get your self a harness and hook yourself up.
Roofers like it on top! Roofers will nail anything...
You gone with your bad self excellent work.😀
😂 not fast enough for me I’m open to some competition whenever
Osha would love this video. Lol

The roof don't change. 2 falls, I jumped both times. 2 other incidents involved a ladder. I'm better for the experience tho. And I will be teaching those things in depth
@@NWIVeteranConstruction rook? Ha you've never put a roof on in your life that could pass an insurance or warranty test. Keep showing your ignorance kiddo
@@PartTimeYooper yup. All human errors which I will cover nobody in my area wears that shitt. Does it count as a fall if you jump? Only 8 ft off the ground. Land on your feet. Who cares man trust yourself some you pussy. You've lost all credibility. Ii'm no longer responding to somebody not willing to think for themselves without experiencing anything in real life.
I’d be worried about tripping over my balls if I were this man! He must have them taped up seeing how he’s wearing shorts! I’ve helped roof 3-4 homes and I’d have to say that roofing, especially on them hot ass days, has to be one of the hardest jobs out there!!!
Hahaha thanks. You're right about that heat, this was during one of the hottest heat streaks in the last 2 decades where I live
Those foam pads work great! That's what I used when I did roofing. And staging ofc. Now I'm doing other things atm. Like vinyl siding.
See my most recent videos for the promo code on the pitch hoppers. Every bit better then the free couch I promise
Good pace and steady. Hell yeah 😎
Health & safety would have a field day with him in the UK
Same with Arbejdstilsynet in DK :D Nevertheless it's always interesting to learn new tips and tricks
This reminds me why a flashed valley is nicer (self sheds leaves etc.), and while fussier, sure a more sophisticated way of handling a valley.
neal walden bs
You got a new fan bro just because all roofers have the same issue . im talking about your boxers lmaoo 😂😂 but damm u doing just fine in roofing.
Hahaha awesome man I appreciate the sub
Well . I’m doing roof for at least 20 years . And I highly recommend this guy ..
You are amazing! I help out a friend every now and then when I have some free time but I'm fairly inexperienced. My question is, when it comes to the valley, I noticed you didn't use valley tin. I'm from Minnesota and every roof I've seen done uses it. I was just curious if it had anything to do with the harsh winters in Minnesota that the valley tin is beneficial to use?
Yea something along those lines. That's not the standard here unless you're using specialty shingles. This has held up for a long time, hell most of the roofs we tear off just have felt in the valley lol no ice shield back then
apfavre2009 Valley flashing is 25 year and that’s a 40 year roof. Voids the warranty to use Valley flashing
Lol, where does it say using valley metal it voids your warranty dumbass, And it’s a California string line valley FYI
@@brianbeddell5843 Metal Valleys will last upwards of 50 years, and do not void warranty at all. The difference is that Metal Valleys are better but more expensive.
All.valleys should have metal that's what valley metal is for people
All these comments about high school/college. Well, as a current college student pursuing my CPA certification, just do what you want! He wants to be a roofer...cool! We're all here to watch him. I want to sit a desk, also cool! Whatever makes you happy can also pay the bills, so who cares? Stay in school...or don't! Happiness is everything.
