What a great tip. I subscribed right after I saw it!
Great tips, man! I'm getting ready for a big painting project, and looking to NOT have\create problems... Thanks for the info!!
No problem! Glad we could help and good luck with the project!
I use plumber strapping and strap it to the back of the board then to the decking when I'm done cut it under the shingle drive a nail to hold it down
Thanks. I'm just roofing a shed, but useful safety tip.
Nail step flasing to the 2×4 nail step under shingle easy
Great tip. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
PRIMITIVE ROOFING SOLUTIONS .
Great primitive roofing solutions you all have here
I don’t see you coming with a better one.
@sinisterknight9696 it's coming.
Or you can cut some strips of metal flashing about 5" wide and use roofing nails and fasten them well to the 2x4, leaving about 12" or so of the metal extending past the 2x4 up the slope, and fasten it well to the roof. Then you can shingle over those pieces of metal, and when the roof is done, you can score the metal with a knife as deep as you need to, flush with the bottom tab of the shingle, break it off, and glue it so the shingle will seal down, and you're done.
Pitch hopper and hang and bang are the best solutions
Amazing tip
Nail high, spoken like a true roofer
Where did you find those soft sole boots?
Thank you
Clicked on your video because the roof staging brackets(aka jacks) in the thumbnail looked like some I have. Video shows how to attach a temporary sticker without them. We only nailed a 2x to old roofs in roof overs to hold stock. Have 3 sets of brackets including my grandfathers that have the Stanley sweet hart label. With brackets you just peen the nails down after removal. Wouldn’t have bothered with staging on that low a pitch. Must have been hot that day as your laminated shingles were floppy. 3 tabs are easier to weave in but mostly gone.
Plank on a 4/12 pitch 👍 lol you know your a roofer when you do this 😂😂
Forgot to do the good ole step flashing toe board. Grab a piece of step flashing, hammer it flat, then put a few nails to hold it to the board, then nail it to the shingle where it covers it, when you're done just cut the step out with snips
Drip edge for a longer length. Same deal though.
@@MayonR yeah exactly, that or like a backpan for a skylight or something like that.
I usually keep all the unused metal from jobs because either can simply use a brake or hand roller I bought to make up some custom pieces of metal if needed on jobs
Damn! You're good!
THANKS
So this is how my shingles blew off on my new construction build. They did this trick then forgot to nail when they pulled the board.
Rookie
I mean, that works, or you could just be a professional and go buy some friggin roof jacks and do it the normal way...
It's a good trick. I do roof jacks and for small steps for little areas, instead of a whole roof jack assembly, I will fashion a short piece to my liking and use flattened drip edge lengths. Two per wood, 5 nails 2 up 2 down 1 in center per side and stick it up to shingle over. When done I just cut the metal so it isn't seen.
Good to have a backup method, let's say the jacks are missing that day
nice
Video Idea: How to properly seal around a package Unit A/C when you put in new roof
thank you for the idea i’ll consider making it whenever the opportunity comes up!
You don't even need this on this roof...... show me this on a 12/12 roof where the shingles slide off as soon as you let go
That wasn't the point. It's the perfect roof to make a quick demonstration.
@@MayonR no the point is that you can't do that on a steep roof where you actually NEED a roof jack...... On that shallow roof done in the video the nail gun even slid down when it was set down .... On a steep roof it's on the ground as well as your roof jack and the loose shingles set in place dry.........
No this is also wrong. Why wouldn’t you just use hooks? Like you’re supposed too…
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
How come after roofing for 15 years I never had to do this? Oh maybe it's because we used the right equipment
Or get a cushion
Thats a lot of moves. If you really need jacks or boards on a 4/12 pitch, you should probably have a helmet on too
No roof jacks....no safety harnesses.
This demo roof isn't even steep...... those unnailed shingles lay there without sliding off while he's getting set up....... Show this on a 12/12 or even steeper
Why do you have one glove 😂
Ive Never worn gloves to work😂 my hands are tough as sh#$😂
Why don't you just go out and buy 2 roof Jack's and a 2x8 and 6, 3 inch spikes
Amateur hour
LoL
That would be too much extra work for some lazy roofers !
THAT SHIT WONT WORK ON A OVERHUNG BUDY WORKSHEET THERE CAUSE ITS NOT TOO STEEP
We Z😅😅😅😅😮😮😅
Now that's just corny! Is this a amatcher?
This is terrible
Dumb
