Shingle Installation Progress and Valley/Ridge Techniques

the nail into it put a little uh weather sealing patch on it and then put a shingle over it and try to not make that dumb mistake ever again [Music] so I never showed you guys my setup that I'm using for this so I'm using my rigid roofing nailer very cush Works fantastic and I'm powering it by my little rigid pancake pancake compressor works perfectly now I got extra help today I got Ben on this side here Ben's got more experience with the roofing and valleys are stuff that I was really intimidated about and how long you've been roofing for years so the setup we got for Ben here I'll show you below here we got to Tate and we rented an extra gun here so we have a secondary there that gave us the hose and we have a nice big Tates Rents air compressor making this a lot easier Ben did this today in just four hours and I got to do that and finish off that roof in four hours and so an extra set of hands really goes a long way all right so it's day two of shingling and I've picked up on a few things to help improve the process number one what roofers will do is they'll use the bottom of their gun to touch the bottom of the shingle there's a little divot and that helps alignment a lot quicker as opposed to finicking like that so just it's already in your hand come in and that helps number two having a little OSB to cut on so you have more confidence cutting number three hook blade really comes in clutch as opposed to like a utility knife that stuff dulls it out really quick and lastly when you are cutting I found it that cutting it on the back side of the shingle as opposed to the front asphalt side so much easier as well so learning little tricks of the trade here not bad for two days folks and not bad at all [Music] so this is the section that's going to get a little bit difficult because I had Ben run this Valley yesterday and we started a new Valley here we got to get them to line up together get them overlapping properly and most importantly getting a straight line and I got a feeling we're gonna have a hell of a time doing this right now but one step at a time folks here we go okay so this is a closed Valley system what does that mean it means that closed cut Valley system let me make that correct we ran the shingles this way overlapping them by 12 inches then we run this side of the valley overlapping them as well snapping a chalk line and here's your closed Valley so water comes in here and run down this channel I gotta do the same thing here [Music] so…
