My father worked with hot tar up until he was 75 . He was one of the best in his day . I use to work with him when I was a kid. He taught me how to set rolls and flop . Good times
@@Gjyefbsehyou obviously don't know how to roof if you can't get what he's saying. Setting roles is when you said ply sheet ( black rolls down ) then comes cap sheet , which you have to flop get it ? If you don't know how to flop cap sheet then you ain't no roofer and don't have a clue on how to work.
@@Gjyefbsehyou obviously don't know the term " set rolls " or flop do you? Let me explain so you can get it . First come the black rolls , then the white which are called cap sheet . You flop cap ? Get it ?
Very nice! Waterproofings are very interesting. There are many different ways to get them done. Just completed mine. After this video, feel free to take a look. Thanks for sharing.
I'm more concerned of the start and stops voids tbh. No pushing the roll back to get fresh hot in the voids even? . Sure like that roll didn't cool off .. Personally why not run a felt machine back and forth offset staggering runs with a belt sheet for a decent vapor barrier?
Wow yes they are clueless and walk alll over it several people and what's with the woman push broom over after roll man rolls out rolls ??total waste of time there too ??? This would fail and not pass inspection
@Eddie Spaghetti I agree but does this crew look like they would be able to put that roof on using chain mops or mini mops ? Whenever you see hot carry pails you know your not looking at a crew whos used to serious production ,the broom girl brooming in rag felt is quite the stumper as only fiberglass felts require brooming which any inspector with a brain wont ask you to broom in to keep traffic off fresh laid plys where footsteps leave voids in the asphalt or pitch ,Im shocked at the sight of mop buckets with steel tires and hot carry pails with helpers carrying hot to mop mens buckets while they stand & watch,the hot gets cold & wastes a ton of labor in carrying buckets & standing around ,such a waste of labor as well as unnecessarily risking a worker being burned ,ive seen helpers carrying hot crash a bucket of hot into a soil pipe & burn the hell out of themselves ,get modern low boy rubber tired mop buckets & have them mop men push their bucket to the lugger & fill it up all at once,its cheaper,its safer and the tar stays at the temp it came out of the lugger at .
@@michaelledford4751 i. Roofed since 13 dad trained me I'm 55 now. Yes I had a lackey spill hot on me a few times , we used to use mop bucket and on residential and small jobs hand pack hit buckets to mop.guy. So deadly I saw guys drop into puddles.of hot as I was spread gravel or pouring hot , sunstroke guys pass out and fall in my hot. So deadly. I have seen it all with hot tar as well. Today's Roff sysytyms are different. We used to do 5 ply tar and gravel and 3 ply polymax and gravel. What a mess. I still love the smell of hot in the morning. The burns are reminders
@@michaelledford4751 - actually you broom in all felts set in hot asphalt. Rag felt is old school but some people like to use it (crew familiarity) Again though old school, packing hot in buckets on smaller cut up areas of roof still makes some sense even today. You are correct in saying it’s safer to use a asphalt lugger to transport hot asphalt rooftop.

Set rolls and “flop”? You flop down on that hot tar and it will burn you…

@@Gjyefbsehyou've obviously never worked on the roof judging by what you said
@@Gjyefbsehthat's what gloves are for . Obviously never worked
I swung big man mop for years. Done thousands of squares of base 3 ply and rock. My back reminds of this daily. Kudos to anyone still doing hot
Did this for.many years. Grew up in it. Separates the men from the boys. Happy we switched to TPO Years ago

Good looking crew, except we always had music playing, made the days so much better
In a serious company music was a no no. Can't be up on the roof playing around. Working with hot tires serious business
Oh the smell of money as we called it back in the mid 80s and 90s.
Yup that hot tar smell always reminds me of my dad ❤️ rip
“HOT!” “I NEED HOT!” They hated me.🤣🤣🤣
That lady should be wearing long sleeves this is obviously a scab crew and not a real company.
I can hear my boss screaming don’t walk on my f’n ply’s
this looks scary for causing cancer. Would you say it's high risk?
Yes possibility of cancer does go up working around that asphalt.
what is broom guy doing always that guy that thinks is doing work but just wondering around pretending to do something...
y ese de la escoba que?
Es el jefe😂🤣😅
Do not walk on freshly installed felts !! Never will pass inspection
