You're not weak! You're strong! I'm only 40 and struggled though doing my own shingle repair. kudos to you at 50++ getting this done for your wife to plant her garden!!
Yeah, well, 50++ took a toll anyway. Ended up with a raging case of ITBS in my left leg afterward. Took almost two years to heal completely. Wasn't long after that I badly broke that same knee from a fallen tree snapping in my direction when I cut through it with a chain saw. That was just over 3 years ago. Sheared the lateral tibial plateau right off. Was on the operating table over 3 hours while they put humpty dumpty together again. Have a steel strap screwed to my tibia for a souvenir. Aging sucks!
Solved my problem! Nailing an inch below at 45 ° and tapping up into place. Thank you so much for posting this.👊😎🤙
Glad it helped!
The picture of you in front of the project was very attracting to the eye as you're scrolling through the videos
I do enjoy watching young people doing hard work!!! Wish I were able to tackle jobs like that. Nice to see you again! =Og
Young people? LOL!!!
Nice to see you are well!
First time homeowner here man thank you for sharing. A friends dog used the existing siding of my house as a chew toy (go figure) so replacing the damaged shingles will be a weekend project for me.
Definitely seems like the cool grandpa us young people would grab beers with.
Maybe someday my daughters will give me grandchildren but not yet. Still up for the beer, though! 😀
Ivy grew up and behind my shingled garage, had to replace it all with a few on side. Thanks for your video.
Glad to see you again!
Welcome back brother!
You to my friend. :-)
great to see your healthy and well Z. i have a set of welding clamps that are like what you were looking for . 10inch Steel Vice Vise Holding Welding Sheet Clamp Grip Locking Pliers
Yeah, we have similar Vice Grips at work too that used to clamp piano hinges to sheet metal box doors prior to spot welding. Next time I do a job like this I will buy a set of my own to cut down on the frustration of rotted shingles breaking as I'm yanking them downward.
@@zerolabs great work my friend
Really helpful! Love your pace and commentary.
I think my TH-cam notifications are broken. Nope. There actually IS a Zero video here. Jeepers, man, way to keep us waiting! Glad to have possibly my original TH-cam content maker subscription back in town. Don’t leave without saying goodbye next time 🥳
Thanks for this video. I found it informative and very helpful. I am tackling replacing several rows of cedar shingles on my garage, starting at the bottom of the garage wall where it meets the ground, and wasn't quite sure how to finish mid-wall, without seeing the nail heads. I subscribed to your channel, and look forward to more of your informative videos.
Glad it was helpful!
Welcome back Z
If you are only replacing the bottom row how would you cut the top of the nail off if you can't fit the tool underneath?
Sadly sometimes you need to remove perfectly good shingles (things) to get to the one you are trying to fix
Happy pi day! Good to see you.
Great Video Sir.
Thank you kindly
Thank You. Sure do think I can. Have a nice day
wow good to see you are back on it ... any chance we could see some solid state energy accumulation from the background noise tests ? ...
The “water damn” is from the attic not being vented. Too much warm air is leaking into the attic from inside the house and since it’s not venting it causing the snow to melt, but then the water moves down the shingles and gets to the bottom edge of the roof where the eves are and there’s no more heat cause that section isn’t over a room in the house and the water freezes causing a faking effect
how did you strip the paint off the cedar shakes?
Removing the nails from beneath an upper course of shingles is very difficult.
Looks like runoff from the roof is the problem as the overhang is too short for that sloping wall. Would you instal a gutter on that section to collect runoff?
You would. Water would also be splashing up onto the lower courses of siding even if the wall was plumb. Gutter is a no-brainer here.
That house slant side that the rain gutters drop on should be plastered or have a layer of textured or smooth concrete. Would that last longer than wood? It could be painted the same color as the rest of the house.
Meh. We've been here almost 20 years. The shingles were probably almost 40. I'll be long gone by the time this needs replacing again. Not my problem. LOL!
Hey Zero welcome back...I think an ice brake will do the trick for you, same technique used on metal roofs in conjunction with the new gutters.......
Never heard of it but I will look into it. Thanks!

Hi Zero, nice to see you back... glad you’re doing well and good luck with the project. ;)
@@Adirondacks4me OH NO! That is exactly the opposite of what I need. I'm not concerned about snow falling off the roof edge. I WANT it off the roof edge. What happens is this...
www.google.com/search?q=roof+edge+ice+dam&sxsrf=ALeKk00Aw-HGmgKc2v5VaRzkTmY9FPmBmQ:1584277458607&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiriZW5xZzoAhXYknIEHUnaDeUQ_AUoAXoECA0QAw
Not so much a problem on the main house because I have 2' of overhang and 3' wide rubber membrane under the shingles at the roof edge. Great room does not. Against the garage the ice dams spill water out to the side and down the shingles. What I really need is this... summiticemelt.com/
What’s the make and model of the tool? I can’t find one but desperately need one to replace a few rows of white cedar siding on my garage.
Hello, just curious where can you buy cedar shingles? I was told they’re not for sale anymore. Thank you :)
Not sure where you're getting your information but I get mine at Home Depot.
@@zerolabs awesome, thank you for the help. You do great work :) I'm a newb at this so trying to determine how much I can handle.
Oh, they are available at Home Depot...but SUPER expensive! $146 for a bundle that has maybe 50-60 shingles! I was lucky there was a Lumber Employee back there and I found an open bundle he was kind enough to sell me at a steep discount.
tappering walls that
catch the roof run off wonder why they did that...
does it Add extra space inside
The entire house has roots in Scandinavian design, but this part was an afterthought, and the adaptation was not very well thought out. I'll grant you that. LOL!
@4:28 is that really the best way to support those studs w/rotted ends? Seems like it would have been better to shim with new wood below than to rely on the shear strength of the screws (lags?) you are using.
Had to cut away too much rot. 3 lags on each stud is more than adequate.
Roof-splash is avoidable w/rain gutters??
Yes, they're just fugly, IMHO.
Perhaps a 8” splash board starter more appealing 👁 visually
Add a diverting flashing to keep water off wall or a gutter
Where did you get the cedar shingles?
Home Depot IIRC.
I've done several repairs for customers and myself over the years on shingles and have found that if you just take a Skil saw and cut 1/4" to 3/8" deep along the bottom edge of the shingle that your working on, clean the edges and then shingle up to it and nail the new shingles with 4 penny nails, putty them and put a good coat of oil base primer on, you'll be just fine. No need to go thru all the hassel
of under-cutting the shingles and nail removing. Your gonna have exposed nails somewhere anyway, so why bother with removing the old rusted nails. I've got jobs I did 20 years ago and they're just fine.
Suit yourself but I'm glad you're not working on my home.
@@zerolabs the way your doing it is 'correct' but if properly sealed (water seal, oil base paint etc;) it'll work just as
well. Another option is to slide a small piece of galvanized flashing under the row of shingles above the one your
replacing and nail your shingles in place below it. Again , it's very important to seal the exposed wood with either
a stain or oil base primer. Remember Zero, sometimes it's impractical and costlier to do it the way your doing it here. Either the customer's budget is tight or the house is such a 'train wreck' that it's just not worth the time and
energy to do it the 'This Old House' way. Cheers, keep up the good work and remember what Sinatra said: 'I Did
My Way'...........
My brother has been in the building trade since the 70’s and replaced several rows of cedar shingles on our shed doing it this way and he says it will last perfectly fine if sealed correctly as you said. 👍🏻
@@XenaTheQuadCamBikah ya, if you properly seal all the exposed wood and caulk all the seams with silicone caulking it should
be fine. And if you wanna be thorough you might tuck some aluminum flashing under the shingles above the ones
your replacing just to be doubly sure. Don't get me wrong tho this fella of Zero Labs is doing it the proper and
professional way. It's kinda sad that he had to insult me just because I was offering an alternative way that might
save some people time and money. Oh well what a do?
Where to buy the tool? What do you all it?
Home Depot. Forget what it's called but you'll find it in the tool crib.
Good video. Those angled walls are ugly.
I actually appreciate the Scandinavian influence of this structure. It's one of the features that sold it for me. The architect who first built the house was actually quite well known.
Scan you provide your email contact? I like your video on how to male collidal silver and cant figure out how to make the generator you have made in the video. I would love to know how you made and contacted it.
Have u finished this job yet?
Of course! There are several videos in this series.
Is this a "how to video"?
There's nothing correct about any of this work unfortunately. Nice guy but he doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to wood shingle siding repairs. By tweaking, twisting and cracking the shingles he has compromised the integrity of the shingles above. He would have been better off to just rip off the entire section, repair the damaged sheathing and install new shingles. If would be faster and have a much better result that will last a lot longer.
If you do want to remove and replace lower shingles you don't use a slate ripper that he's using, you would use a long nail saw. It's large blade similar to a hacksaw with a long handle and you actually saw the nails off along the face of the sheathing so the surface is smooth allowing you to install new shingles without running into the old nails left behind after you break all the rust nail heads off. Maybe I should do a video, but that would cut into my roof repair time.
Yeah, looked for that supposed "nail saw", none of the big 2 box chains or Harbor Freight or Amazon has anything longer than about 9". I'm not an expert, but most of the shingles are longer and you need at least 12-14" in length to get far enough up in there to grab a nail. On top of that, since it's super common to have the bottom row of a wall butting up against a dormer roof line or the ground, there is no room to get a 14-18" nail saw under that first row because you have the roof of a dormer or the ground to tend with. Not sure what the solution is, but I'm running into same issue.
@@TheStoneWhisperer So I just dug out my Shingle nail saw and the blade looks just like a big hack saw blade that measures 17" long and 1" wide. It might also be a little thicker gauge. That blade has 2 rivets that connect to a piece of steel slightly thicker but still able to go behind the shingles. The total length of reach is 24" behind the shingles. Then that is connected to a long wood handle. the overall length is 49" so you can really push and pull on it.
It would not work on a shingle that is sitting on a dormer obviously but it will work on the next course of shingles on an angle and then you replace as many courses as you need to. A professional would never try to take out a bottom shingle sitting on a dormer because there is no way to lower it to remove it, you have to start higher then remove the bottom course. It only takes a couple minutes to replace a small area. I'm sure I didn't get it at a big box store since they weren't around 40 years ago. I'm sure I got it at a roof supply somewhere. Good luck.
@@bobbarker9986 cool beans! At least there’s hope I can find something like that at a specialty store
FIRST z things first theirs no gutters on that side !!! it’s by a valley needs gutters on each side and won’t have that problem !!! With gutters those corners are problems without that’s what you get. Is definitely no downspouts so the water is gonna flow right around your your foundation which is a definite no no ,so not only do you have a siding problem but you’re probably going to want check basement crawl space etc
Yeah, I know. None of the house has gutters because the overhangs are two feet from the siding. Splash zone doesn't reach. This addition also has a large overhang but, as you point out, the slope of the outer wall puts it into the splash zone. Not worried about it too much, though. I'll be long dead and gone before this will need replacing again. It'll be someone else's problem. LOL! As for basement, entire house is on a slab. No concern there either.
@@zerolabs oh k slab nice have right merry Christmas 🎄 god bless Everyone
Are you sure you know what your doing?
Wrooooong
Great video, but what a dumb design of a structure. No gutters, the wood siding go all the way down touching the soil and the angle of the wall is such where all the draining water from the roof lands right on it and just pools up against it. Whoever thought this was a good idea should not be in the construction business.
Wake me up when you get to the point
Omg 10 minutes in and you still haven’t done anything except blah blah. Get to work!
7 minutes in and nothing said about the repair, just a sloooow history of the water damage and "styling elements". Hurry up and get into the REPAIR.
This is a horrible video. You talk way too much
Can't please everyone. Have no intention of trying. But do "have a nice day."
