Thanks for the hand tips, Elvis. I also got much from your ladder safety video. I'm sure that rope is tied off to your fall-arrest harness during your normal roof operations. But home owners watching this video might get the wrong impression they need only hold onto the rope, as you did while checking the gutters. Mike, Scarb., ON
Someone definitely did not know what they was doing I have been working for almost 30 years on the roof for my family business and I've seen some pretty bad ones and the majority of the time it's somebody who thinks they know what they're doing that really doesn't
Don't put plastic on your roof. It breaks down in UV. Use metal. Also plastic won't keep squirrels out. Dude just took out a perfectly good steel vent that will last another 50 years with a cheap $15 plastic one that will last about 10.
My uncle did this roof. He said yall did some sort of finagling with your video camera to make it look this bad. He has been roofing for 35 years and did a good job.
After seeing several of these videos and actually working on rooftop for a few years it doesn't make any sense to use this. Wouldn't it be much easier and safer to just put a eyelet lagbolt permanently in the roof! You're going to go thru all the bs of putting this on without a rope, and then when you are done, you are going to undo all the nails and go off the roof without a rope! Two times with the potential of falling off!
Man I would never put a vent in like that only 3 or 4 nails along only the front like that just makes us roofer that actually do our jobs right look bad I would honestly like to know who the fuck did that shity as roof
they just need to preinstall these anchors already on every home. its cheap, can be billed to the home owner. every roofer needs to add them and leave it, so its all ready to be tied in.
Finding conscientious tradesmen who take pride in their work shouldn't be as difficult as it is and it's because of the sheer number of shoddy outfits that are out there. Whoever carried out that 'work' should be hanging their head in shame, though I doubt that anyone prepared to carry out a job in that manner will remotely care - just on to fleecing some other customer. I am very lucky to have skilled men on hand in all trades who, to a man, take great pride in their profession.
This How To video should be used as an example of the desired form of RU-vid teaching. Drop the unnecessary and get to the point with a minimum of only the absolutely necessary lead in. Oh, that’s imo only of course.
Can a person put the roof brackets on permanently, maybe nail them in and then caulk around the nails. Can you use screws instead (sry, my only construction background is in stagecraft)? I rather just put it up there and then leave it up there because I have to get up there annually to deal with the moss (or should anyway)...
