...... and on a 2/12 pitch too ! The one guy rode his bike to the job and had to wear a foam hat for safety . Any man that does this type of work sees how those ropes just keep getting in the way..... and nearly trips them up . Men..... we had better get this s%@ pushed back...... or very soon we wont be able to make a living .!

Good video but I have to issue you with a STOP card and ask you to take a TOFS...there is more slack in your safety line than the height of the roof meaning you will simply go SPLAT (technical term from oil industry)...

@ericr2zz 4 года назад

No insulation around the skylight frame that extends above the roofline?

@probuilder6828 4 года назад

Eric R Nope. It isn’t necessary as the dimensional lumber if rubber applied tight, is a good enough insulator to avoid frost or condensation.

The safety rope on your workers is greater than the height to the ground. So your workers will already fall to the ground, and the insurance will not work ....

@roccoconte2960 4 года назад

@Angelo But you could understand it . Sometimes my spelling not so good.

@SteS 4 года назад

It fascinates me the difference in other countries. It must be a warm location with the thickness of the insulation in that roof which would be around 80mm here. It must be a very high-performance board for that thickness. Also, any kerbs where I'm from need a min of 25mm insulation as there's nothing preventing cold bridging and that 45-degree edge also made from insulation as opposed to that piece of timber to prevent the same thing. And any flat roof lights require a 3-degree pitch.

It will attract a younger audience and keep things going. Boy, you can sure tell she's been slinging a hammer for quite awhile, back arm at a strange angle she's hitting with confidence. Wish she could have been in on the end. Remember when Tommy WAs the younger generation? If you didn't know about Tom and Tommy, you'd still be able to tell they worked together a lot, they work like a dream team, like one man with four hands, and they hammer exactly the same.
