    My husband hasn't been able to find anyone to do our garage roof, or even just help, so I am about to become a roofer as a middle aged office mom. Pray for me LOL.🙃 Thanks this was helpful.

    Thank you so much for making a simple to follow video for roofing. I'm building an outdoor cat shelter and got some left over roofing tiles from someone, and was clueless how to install properly.

    A better way is to divide your shingle is by six. And a better wait to cut your shingles is with an old set of tin snips. And when it comes to your overhang on the other end of the roof, used the Snips to scratch a line from underneath matching your rake overhang. Doing this saves scarring your knuckles and a straighter cut.
    I told my husband he should be teaching roofing and gutter installation, he's been doing this for over 60 years and when gutters were still wood. He used to make his own Cedar Shakes.

    Thank you for your videos!! I decided to build an enclosed porch myself and the one thing I did not have experience in was roofing. I was able to follow your instructions and I think the roof is turning out beautiful! Thank you for all the tips and little added fyi's from someone with experience and knowledge to help ensure quality and prevent mistakes. There isn't room for error when it comes to the roof or you risk the integrity of your entire project and alot of expensive repairs later on. I'm a single Mom raising 3 boys and I get alot of shit sometimes about some of the projects I do, until they see how well it turns out. I couldn't pull it off sometimes without the help of guys like you sharing your knowledge and skills. It is so very appreciated! Xo Have a wonderful day! Thanks again!

    Best thing I’ve seen in a while. Came across a mancer roof that looked pretty strange.
    They nailed too high so didn’t hit any of the lower portion of the shingles.
    When nailing the top only like that the only thing holding the bottoms together is the tar.
    When that’s hanging on a near vertical wall, they will slide and fall down. They were all over the guys balcony and porch area……

    I showed this to a roofing contractor that said he needs to do a tear off because ewe have had two roofs . Which is the code in California. He offered me a 4000$ discount. We didn’t n hire him. He said the starter was proof of having two roofs. Yet know he knows I know neighbors who do roofs came and did it for half the price and it’s amazingly thank you

    And then you forgot to mention that when you start nailing your shingles the 2nd nail needs to be at least 11" from the 1st nail because otherwise it's in a key way. Guys like you are the reason that I tear off roofs every single day that fail and I guess just keep going because it's keeping me working.
