It is the hardest job (physically) as of right now in my life! Much respect and I noticed you don’t use your gauge... just your water mark ! Impressive sir 💪🏼

I bought this nail gun as we were planning to renew all the fencing in our back garden. As this involved 19 double slatted fence panels, 10 of which needed to be cut down in size, we knew there would be a need for a great kzbin.infoUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt deal of re-stapling the wooden slats to the wooden framework. Each alteration required the re-stapling of 62 wooden slats with double staples. Prior to starting the work we ordered sufficient additional staples as per the instructions with the gun.The gun performed fantastically throughout the entire project with no jams of misfires. The adjustable power was excellent allowing the staples to be fired into the 8mm slats to the correct depth. For the price paid this was a bargain and it proved itself to be so reliable and versatile making an arduous task much quicker and professional. I cannot recommend this product highly enough and it will be used on many other projects in the future.

I did my own roof solo, including stripping, prepping, tar papering, shingling, and carrying everything up the ladder. At age 75, I had a sore back for over a month, but I saved myself $16,000 compared what the lowest estimate I got that would have used the cheap three shingles. I used architectural shingles for my windy area would I ever do it again if I moved to a different place? No way in hell. I'd be crazy to.

Not bad man, Quality is always first, I respect that. If you wanted to try things a bit different to help speed you up you could try leaving your bundles on a 45 up the climb and having half a bundle on your left foot so that as you walk up your carrying your bundle up with you, as well after your first nail turn your gun sideways to put the rest of the nails in which will help speed and avoiding high nails.

Have both halves exactly where they need to be so I can just keep pulling and never had to reach for more. Cheers man! My knee is jacked and I quit roofing along time ago.

Got into roofing in the late 70's, so not quite as old as your mom. (yes, the standard shingle years!) Anybody too young to understand that statement should just move on to the next video! For the bulk of my career, I was, and still am a hand nailer. Out of the bag, no stripper. The guy that taught me was awesome. His theory was, "you gotta do it right before you do it fast! Any employer that hands a "rookie" a nail gun, before that rookie has proven his knowledge with a hammer and nails is a fool!! Just my opinion. Yup! Your momma was quick! Faster than a lot of guys with a gun! One of my very best days was 17 2/3 squares in 7 hours. (broom clean, edge metal, felt, and hand nailed) And yes, I've worked with a few guys quicker in my career. (I'm not claiming to be a rock star by any means) I spent one full spring / summer doing recover / reroofs in a part of San Diego. (Mira Mesa) At that time, a hardware store (HandyMan) was going out of business. The bad news...ground drop only! I had houses lined up, ready to go, one after the other. I'd show up the first day, hand load, and hand nail 15 squares. Come back the next morning, complete that house and jump to the next. The homes averaged 18 to 24 squares. I was working 6 days a week, hand loading / hand nailing 4 homes every 6 days by myself. Again, not claiming to be fast...but a pretty respectful pace, considering all the trips up the ladder. Although no longer currently installing, at nearly 63 years old, i just completed a complete reroof of my own home. (tear-off, re-sheet, new fascia) I cheated, and used a nail gun on parts of it! The guy that posted this video seems legit! BUT...there's way too many "look at how fast I can shingle" videos on here, where all of the prep work has been done, the shingles are all separated, and perfectly placed before the dude starts "the timer?" That means nothing to me. You could train a monkey to shoot a nail gun quickly...and probably more accurately than some of the "worlds fastest shingler" posts on here. Respect to your Mom and all the other old geezers like me! Thanks for posting. RM

So to be faster is it all about finding the most efficient way of doing it ? Also should you try and move faster ? Or do you just keep a steady pace thanks

You are a good roofer. I like your videos. But im sorry to say i can beat it. I can provably do a square in 4 minutes or 4 and 30 seconds on a roof like that. Im not saying im the fastest cause in our crew im the youngest and they are faster than me. And i have heard of other crews that are fast as heck. Still nice video

I used to do 10 square an hour ( with laborer) when I was 16-17. I’m now 34 and I put on like 4 square and hour lol. One back surgery and two hernia repairs. Stay young bro ✌🏻🤟🏻🤘🏻.

I'll tell ya man, I have learned so much by watching your videos. I used to be a carpenter's helper for about a year after college, and have only done a few small roofing jobs. This was 20 years ago. I needed a refresher and you were it! I'm doing my own roof with some help this week and have been checking out other references. I found that Roofing Insights did nothing but shit talk you about your starter strip installation. I thought that was total bullshit! Just thought I'd send you some positive vibes, and let you know what I found so if you want to tell that asshole to fuck off. Probably not worth your time. Thanks for your service to this country. We all appreciate it! Keep doing great videos!

ahahah thanks yea that guys something else but hey everyone is entitled. I'll tell you first hand nailing your starter a little high will do its just 99.9% of the time. just watch your spaceing and nail placement. don't want them in seems. whats the roof like that you're doing? gable? or a hip roof? any valleys? and is it a walker?

@Bobo Sparks I'm not claiming to the best lol I've said several times that the one square challenge isn't a great judger of skill. That's why i created the modified one square challenge where you at least incorporate some stair step cuts. in a full day is where i shine best. If you wanna keep talking post your times. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY! thinks that they can put on a square in 7 minutes. They try, and get hit with reality and become fans. So post one for all of us to see if you want to keep trying to tell me anything about me.
