    Thanks for the shout out! The nibbler is especially nice for going over the ridges and detail work. It was must for us, since our whole house is covered in metal, and there was a lots of detail work around the metal beams. That's a great way to pick up the metal shavings. Ours are still out there somewhere. 😅
    Love those screws! That's what we should have used. The sun here is brutal.
    Your roof is coming along nice! 😎🏜️

      I almost bought one of those metal shear attachments you put on an impact driver until I saw your roof and siding videos. It was a big help, so thanks for that! I always like to get the right tool for the job. It makes a big difference!
      Edit: Just in case you ever need to look them up: The screws are called Woodzac screws. We got the XG version, which was best for OSB sheating.

    Wow… there’s a lot in this video. First I have to say that Maverick explaining his airplane caused me to drop my jaw. His command of his vocabulary is amazing. Time goes so fast. Ashley and her magnet to the rescue. The roof is looking great. Glad everything held up well waiting for rainy season to pass. Great strides have been made and I’m enjoying it all. Thank u for sharing. And editing. And moving the camera constantly.

    Your little guy is talking so well now. The roof does look fantastic, beautiful! The white roof is going to be awesome in reflecting the sun's heat. Rainy seasson for Florida right now would be the understatement of the year. That said, you guys must be okay or you wouldn't be uploading videos? Hoping you got through the hurricane okay and that your house fared well.

    So, I have really been spoiled by Doug and Ashley! I am having a new roof installed, Praise God, on my trailer and garage! But these two have a worksite that looks absolutely beautiful when they show us how things are going. While my work crew is efficient and are doing a great job, when they left yesterday it didn’t get as tidied up as Doug and Ashley’s! I realize that the end of day will look different today, and it has to pass inspection…I wanted to brag that Doug and Ashley have set high standards for me! Love the videos and I am enjoying the education that I get from you all.

    Nice work! ❤️👍 I hope to replace my shingle roofing with a metal roof one of these days. Our house is 2- story has high pitch and odd angles plus skylights! Big job one day. I call it Winchester house cause it has sliding glass doors on the second story that open to nothing 😳 but there are screens so it's just like huge windows 😀 it's a quirky house but we love it. No slacking Stan is watching y'all! 😁👀🎅

    We have the same exact roof on our house. We laid it over the old shingles for the extra insulation. It’s made a huge difference and it looks great. Not to mention you will never ever have to put a roof on the house again. Good choice! I wish I could post pictures of our roof on here for you It’s probably too late to warn you but be extremely careful with that stuff because it will slice your hand in half.
