What’s the easiest way to just find the roof’s square footage?

Also TPO normally is installed two ways. With a glue type of adhesive or Heat welded at overlaps. I might be confusing with PVC single membrane or PVC may also have to same installations. Check and correct me if I’m wrong.

I’m pretty sure mechanically fastened means screw, nails or any metal fastener…etc. basically NOT adhesive, i.e. SA, hot mop, torch, cold process or glues. Correct me if I’m wrong please.

great video. visuals are clear and easy to read. i like your conversational tone. it's easy to follow you. sometimes people read from a script and as a result sound monotone or read it too quickly. but your pace makes it easy to understand you. of course, great content too. i'm not sure if you'll cover it in a future video, but will you get into explaining the connection details of steel? bolting, welding, and combinations of them as they relate to the structural forces?

Where are you based at? In my experience with construction. This is one industry where you can take an entry level position and work your way into more senior positions by working hard, adapting your company’s culture and taking opportunities for growth. Construction is also a people business, so knowing how to work with a diverse group of individuals is key to your success!
