Watch This Before Hiring Roofers

What happens here

Due to a measurement error, the initially ordered 29-foot, 8-inch metal roof panels are discovered to be a foot too short, requiring 30-foot, 8-inch panels. This necessitates reordering the correct panels, resulting in a two-week delay for the roofing process. During this unforeseen downtime, the creator shifts focus to interior work. He identifies the furnace closet, which needs to be insulated and drywalled before the HVAC technician can install the furnace and ductwork. He proceeds to measure, cut, and install drywall sheets to enclose the furnace closet, ensuring it's ready for the next trade. This proactive approach utilizes the delay effectively.

Goal: Complete drywall and insulation in the furnace closet during roofing delay
