Remove Existing Shingles

What happens here

Begin by identifying the exact location for the roof post anchor. Use a pry bar, also known as a cat's paw or wrecking bar, to carefully lift and remove the existing asphalt shingles in the area where the anchor will be installed. Work systematically, prying up the top layers of shingles and then removing the underlying ones to expose the roof underlayment and decking beneath. This initial step clears the work area for subsequent cuts and installations.

Goal: Clear the roof area for anchor installation
