7/12 one square challenge

[@MySqueakyfoot]

Im proud to say, I ripped off 26 square/ 2 layer's, fixed a few rot spots, nailed off any loose ends, applied ice/snow shield, cut the peaks for super ridge vent, paper (30 weight) and applied Tampco Heritage Dimensional shingles according to the manufactured spec. Capped the hips and ridge- along with carrying up all materials and supplies ( single story ranch ). I tarped the roof after the rip, and worked on it 4 days a week for 3 weeks using weekends and 2 vacation days each week. The total costs of materials was $4464.00 and the cheapest estimate I got was $10,200. So I saved $5736.00 and didn't miss any days at my full-time job, using a total of 6 paid vacation days. Not bad for a 62 year old. Ok, I had some years working as a roofer a long time ago, ( like 25 years ago), and that job afforded me the experience and funds to buy the house in the 1st place. My point here isn't to slam the speed a person can do the job, it's knowing the valuable asset of learning a trade that you will use later in life. Back then we earned $ 5.00 a square to rip a roof, and $ 10.00 a square to put it on. So 26 square + cap and ridge vent would have netted $450.00 and took 2 men about 4 days. This 1 took me 12 days and and I netted $5736.00 or $478.00 per day + 3 full weeks pay from my regular job. How fast is that?

[@cdnroofer]

A lot of blow through on the nails. Great if your fast, great if you can nail in the “nail zone”. But no so great when a 50+MPH wind comes through. Shingle manufactures won’t warranty on over driven or under driven nails. Quality vs Quantity ppl.

[@johnqueen9420]

Not bad. I saw that shiner at 1:30 tho 👀

[@laurelbrennan6295]

As a business person I can appreciate the need for speed in getting the job done quickly, but as the homeowner, I would appreciate the job done without mistakes that could cost me money in repairs in a few years.

[@BueBue701]

I usually make sure to pull any shingles that had a shiner if it happens, but since this was a one square challenge, I went back and pulled the shingles after taking the video. Quality always counts

[@theroofguru807]

Good smash for sure. Couple shiners and few other small issues. But that's to he expected when your smashing like that

[@qmax-en5ry]

He can easily nail 3 bundles under 3 minutes with a helper. Last time I check my time ,I nailed 66 bundles of shingles and 2 bundles of starters with a helper. In 7 hrs.

Dude setting records out here all in 6 min and 15 seconds he had like 10 low nails, 30 shingles that were completely crooked and over exposed.... but hey at least he did it fast fuck giving a homeowner an actual good product installation, roofing needs to change its sad to see hundreds of these videos and almost every one of them is just showing how fast u can fuck up someone's roof.

[@castillollc2366]

Stop making it such a big deal the nails landed where they were supposed to be 6 nailed he might of have a low nail or 2 but I’m pretty sure he replaced them and his shingles were not crooked those are chalk lines to come out straight at the ridge eve and the whole piece is straight.

Just bought that gun haven’t used it yet is that gun better then metabo? And good work good speed 🔥

[@BueBue701]

One of the best nailers on the market. I used to use Hitachi/Metabo, but they were breaking within just a couple months. I can usually get 6-9 months of use out of a Max, and I love that I don't have to go back and pick up the last nail that drops out of a Metabo. It might take a second to get used to nailing with it because of that fat rear end on it, but once you have your nail rhythm down, it's smooth sailing, and you won't want another Metabo on your roof.

[@BueBue701]

I actually went back and addressed that shiner by pulling that nail, resealing the hole, and placing a backtab under the hole to seal it completely off before nailing a new nail into place. I felt like a scrub posting such a HUGE shiner. 😂

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

straight killer! can't wait to see you and your boss in action at the roof Olympics. did you tell him about it? its gonna be fun with a cash prizes and more..as everything stands he's got the most unbeatable time! I have a video on the details if he's curious.

[@BueBue701]

He doesn't know if he wants to go. He's competitive, but too humble to try and compete for money. Plus, we shingle year round, and closing shop for a couple days would not be possible with the rest of the employees. "Cats gone, mice play" sort of deal. I on the other hand will be making the trip to compete. I was thinking you should do a double wall flashing event with a sewer jack and roof vent for the finals. Make it a challenge on technical skill, precision, and speed. Wouldn't be too hard to slap a couple of the used pieces of plywood on the sides of the frames to do so.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

@@BueBue701 if I raise enough money for the comp tell him I'll helpn pay for the trip. We can do it over the weekend too. This ain't no 3 day event. It's only 1 day. And I think we can incorporate that in the next coming years. For now I think we need just do the heats. And top 5 get to go head to head one more time for the championship

[@BueBue701]

@@NWIVeteranConstruction haha I'll talk to him about it. It'd be drive down Friday, compete on Saturday(?), church on Sunday, and then drive back Monday. Plus, the money isn't the issue. It's more planning than anything. Wife and kids for the most part.

[@BueBue701]

Or you mitigate that by thinking ahead and snapping control lines, as I do on every inch of roof i shingle. Two things I've learned in my years of shingling. Those who don't snap lines tend to have the most wavy roofs I've come across. Those who do snap lines don't end up having dips and dives, eaten shingles, or unmatched dormer peaks. Preparation is half the battle. 😉
