      ..the POV action sometimes veered off center, which you don't have much control over when you have your hands full working on the roof, but it did give a closer detailed look at the work when centered, which is a good thing.

    Maybe this was mentioned in the comments,I don't know, but I will pass it on anyway. At 35:00 you have a tip in order to avoid the ladder from damaging the shingles/drip edge. If you additionally add another piece of 2x4 of a length that fits between the ladder rails, the ladder will not slide left or right and makes it much more stable to that type of instability in addition to protecting the shingles.

Explain how u mark the lines with a mark going to one side. I love your videos and channel but u just lost me in the layout phase. I kinda get it but could use a lot more instruction. Añd to how u figure for leaving so much here and there for sheet rock etc. Thanks 🙏 and hope to see a video like that someday

    I listened intensely to the video and hope I didn't miss it if you said it, but I never heard what the overall dimensions of the roof is that you worked on. I think you said you bought 25 squares of shingles and to buy 10% extra for waste. I am thinking that 25 squares covers 2500 square foot minus 10% would come out to 2250 square foot of roof. Is that correct or am I missing something in my calculations? Could you please let me know what the dimensions are? I would appreciate it.
    Thank you for putting together such fantastic videos. I am a new subscriber but already a huge fan of your work.

    • @TheExcellentLaborer

      The roof required 22 squares with no waste and I ordered 25 squares including waste. The roof is 2,200 sq ft. I did have a few bundles left.

    Why did you not install the ice and water shield on the entire roof and just the one line at the bottom of the roof? Unless I missed something- it looks like you only did that one line toward the bottom before you showed us the drip line installation and then installed the rest of the shingles directly overtop the synthetic paper…

And the nails on the pipeboot should never have exposed nails don’t shoot the bottom just the top and sides

    I noticed you used drip edge instead of gutter apron where there would be a gutter. does it really matter? also on your starter set seams the nails seemed pretty close on some of the seams (1.5-2" on one forsure)....wouldn't you want ideally 6" to the nearest nail from a seam? my understanding is that the water will travel a good 4-5" on either side of a seam?

Some things are common sense but still should be taught like how to put nails in your pouch, long chalk lines sag and don’t get your glue strips covered in gravel… these rules you often don’t know until you’ve experienced the resulting headache that follows.

      I'm a former roofer and I know how you'd feel talking with a roofer cause we use the same terms as if we're chatting amongst ourselves upon the roof .... on behalf of all roofers who confuse homeowners, I apologize for the times we are not being clear and concise while explaining the process

    Hey, since you put the drip edge against the subfascia, what are the options to finish the fascia? Aluminum flashing that also gets tucked behind the drip edge or something similar I’d assume because actual fascia board would end up getting water behind it because the drip edge placement?
    Using your videos I recently was able to repair rotted fascia and soffit on my grandma’s house for under $200 doing it myself! Your content is invaluable!

      In order to finish the facia, I got to put aluminum facia up under the lip of the drip edge. That will keep it watertight, and it looks good. I’m glad I was able to save you a lot of money and help your grandmas house out! Thanks a lot!

    Hello, i am roofer and just would like to ask. A lot (Really a lot) of companies usually put bottom line of starter under the side line (in bottom corners of the roof) for beter waterproof. Even through that fact that water usually doesn't go there. Just want to ask your opinion, does it really make a difference?

      The drip edge is very flexible, and the aluminum facia will slide right up under the lip, even if it looks tight on the video. Thanks for following! I hope that helps!

    I made it to 14:07 before I gave up... but ONLY because it wasn't what I needed. Which was a true instructional video to lay out a 10ac pasture with dead square lines and corners. This was good, but not exactly a "How To", as it lacks much instructional content besides general commentary.
    I draw that line between information I can get from just buying one and looking it over myself, versus watching someone with experience and expertise evaluating a product and/or kit with the eye of an expert - with explanation for any features that causes you to "like" or "dislike", why, and what is standard or typical on that type and grade of product. For example - explaining the different grade stick notation basis units available and typical demographic that prefers it was instructive and not possible to learn from just looking at the product in hand.
    Anyway - 1-3:10 stars as instructional material, 9:10 stars as an unboxing/first impressions video!!

    Question for anyone who can answer.I'm building a garage for the majority, on my own. I installed the drip edge and ice&water barrier. It was a quite windy day and managing 10 foot pieces of drip edge was challenging.
    After all was said and done, I noticed a bit of a belly in the middle of it. eave ends stuck out from the sub-fascia at one distance and the middle of the 34 feet run it was probably 1/2-5/8 further. How should I go about running my shingles now? Thanks

    I hope some day your videos get into our school systems.
    Not every kid is cut out to be a doctor, lawyer or felon and I think we could put a lot of kids on a road to a fruitful independent future if they learned the basics of all the trades.

    Hey man. I’m an insurance adjuster/appraiser trying to get into the roofing side of the business. I want to hopefully be able to run my own crew one day. What is the best way to start? I’m thinking about just jumping on a roofing crew and starting there. I’m also HAAG certified.

      It is very satisfying to get that rhythm down that you are talking about. It is definitely a good work out as well! Thanks a lot for watching!

    Thanks, Josh, for your informative video. It was very helpful. Thanks also for the tips on suiting up the fall-arrest system. It's a rarity for roofing videos; but, given the amount of deaths each year from workers falling from heights, it is much needed. Mike Pereira, Toronto, ON, Canada.

    So after the 1st 5 rows of shingles, you went ahead and cut 10 3/8” & 16 3/8” again for the next 5 rows? Or just laid them out in full?
