This video helped me enormously, i am going to install a new chimney cap and needed a simple safety solution. The ridge pro will do it. Thanks for this valuable information
Don't worry so much about the shoes. Invest in a boatload of fully adjustable metal roof jacks and a supply of 2×10 spruce boards. You're ankles and knees will thank you later in life. Set the jacks at 5' intervals up the roof. I wouldn't let foamers and rope boy's on my roof as they would constantly be tearing granules off the shingles.
@@homesteadroofing drones have “follow me” technology... you’ll get a shitload of views from morons who have no idea what it’s like to be on a 10/12. Lol
Jay, thank you for engaging with our content. I'm not sure if you're referring to the hook on the RidgePro... If so, it's pretty solid. The Cougar Paws are cool, but check out our newest video about walking on steep roofs - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fbf_gpGC82Y.html
If I got the actual cash value on replace roof from my insurance company, after I replace the whole roof and fix all describption on report. Can I get the whole amonut of recoverable depreciation from insurance company?
How about my insurance report appear both non-recoverable depreciation and recoverable depreciation, what does those mean? which depreciation I will get after I replace my roof?
Darren, for an inaccessible roof, I will use my drone to inspect it. Something like tile is definitely a drone inspection. Same for a high and steep shingle roof, IF the damage is severe. But if the damage is not easy to see from a drone, I want to be on the roof so I can feel the potential hail bruises. That's why - although I have and use a drone - I don't think that drones will replace real people as roof inspectors 100% of the time. Great question!
My roof is 8/12 with lots of angles and no any flat area, I heard this kinds of roof can not put all the 120 bundle of shingles on the roof, is it true? and if those bundle put on drive way over night, once be stolen during the night, who is the responsibility for that those ?
They should be able to roof-load on an 8/12 roof. You need to read the contract you have with your roofer to find out who is responsible for the materials once they're delivered to your house.
Its like every informative video I watch these days people ask a question that was already answered in the video. People just don't listen hard enough these days.
Always tie off ladders Most deaths or paralysis occur getting 6' step ladders as the break point is between the second and third vertebrae where the average neck line contacts the ground If you're going to fall, jump of vertically they say, then you land in your feet, hit your knees then with elbows protecting your head you roll into a ball then roll and turn impact force into kinetic rolling energy, but better off being tied off on a life line, it simple anchor bracket and rope, takes 5 minutes, Say you have a roof tie down anchor 25' from where you're working at a roof edge, it's 65' from the ground, 70' from the bottom of the elevator shaft, hook your rope around a roof truss right where you're working, so maybe an 8' straight fall would occur if you fell off a wall, however, if you didn't wrap your rope around a close framing member you might be in for a 20 foot fall at the point of drop in only to swing 15' back into a block wall and then your 6' lanyard, so, a 170 lb guy falls, he's at the end of his rope perspective to his fall location, but the anchor point is 25 feet back, he falls for 20 feet in a swing and smashes full velocity 15 feet away into a cmu wall, nominally, but the lanyard or rope with a built in lanyard system (which should then be only connected to your harness D ring and not your 6 foot lanyard) unleashes, so then a 20' swing drop becomes 26 feet of properly connected, or, if improperly connected becomes 6' on the rope with built in fall arrest plus the 20' of rope plus the additional 6' lanyard you're talking s 15' lateral positional fall at the drop point away from Anchorage, and a 32' drop to take you smashing into a concrete stair it elevator shaft, this needs to be reintegrated in OSHA cottages around the globe. It's sometimes impractical to move an anchor every ten minutes, but wrapping your rope around a close framing member plumb up from where you're working might be in order
The Cougar Paws will work, or a soft-soled sneaker or tennis show. If you've torn off old shingles, the problem with this stage you're in is any left-over shingle grit on the felt or decking. That can be dangerous. Hope this helps.
Back in my day we didn’t have those special shoes. Still prefer shoes with minimal tread. Vibram soled shoes mark up the roofing. I still have my grandfather’s galvanized steel roof ladder and a full set of Stanley roof bracket’s with the sweet heart label.
Would of been helpful if you showed the product in use. You didn't which makes you not a roofer but your hiring sub- contractors. Show us a video with you using the boots on steep slopes then I'll be sold.
Thank you for the engagement on the video. I'm not selling the boots and I have no stake in whether or not anyone believes Cougar Paws are a good product. Just offering my opinion about the fact that they have helped me safely walk on several roofs between 8/12 and 16/12. I wouldn't be without them. But, you obviously have a different opinion and that's OK.
@@homesteadroofing ok not asking you too sell the boots. Just asking for a video of you personally using them. But if you can't then pull your fake vids . Thanks
And you know that... how? Were you there before I began recording? If you were, you would have seen me doing repairs to several shingles across the roof.
