This is the hardest thing I have ever done...(EP.7)

What happens here

The presenter introduces the project: stripping an old roof that unexpectedly has multiple layers of asphalt shingles, rolled-on roofing, and carbon paper. He demonstrates how to use a specialized shingle removal tool (claw/rake) by jamming it under the shingles from the top and prying them off. Another worker uses a pitchfork to help loosen and remove shingles.

Tools and materials

  • Pitchfork
