This Shingler is insane!! I Raced Him 

Cool video.way to bang out a job by introducing a friendly competition.hats off to you and your crew be safe out there

I installed 40 square exactly, completely alone on a roof. In 1 day. And it was hot out. Giant roof, you can see the proof. I'm actually submitting the video to Guinness at some point because I know it's the most shingles ever installed by one lone roofer in a day. Quality anyway lol and prove-able. I look slow but if you're shingling that often you know you have to pace yourself. I like to keep a 9-12 minute square pace in the open

my gutter guy is the bomb to be honest

@Veteran Construction thanks Zack I know tony and I are

@@ianharris9678 lmao

@@ianharris9678 Ian hahahahahahaha

Very true! Wouldn't mind an extra experienced guy or 2

Glad you enjoyed it!

yessir i was proud of him for sure. he got 16 sq on this day and it was really hot

My boss was 65 and similar speed, but was clean. All legends

Awesome! Happy to help!

Lol yeah yeahhh.

@@Twistedmetal-qe8kx thanks! Years of hard work

Holy shit man have that whole video was just hand right a paper

I know that feeling. Carrying shingles up the ladder on your shoulder takes the breath out of you because that 90 pounds is pressing on your lungs. In the heat that's about all I'd want to carry. I've been roofing for about 19 years. We have a shingle elevator now. I just place them on that and send em. One thing to watch out for with the lift is that lift can come off of those ladder rails and it'll dump that bundle to the ground and could possibly take out a window lol. Scary stuff. Nailing shingles can be fun if your not heat exhausted

Meant to say this. With the ladder lift it's best to place those bundles centered evenly across it. Too far to one side could be the cause of the little coasting wheels breaking free from the ladder. Scares me when I think about it that it's much like a rollercoaster 😅

haha one sandal at that!

quite a few i'm sure. he's so good at getting through all the cut up stuff on houses. he put on 16 square this day when you include his cap and starter and it was a really hot one.

make sure you're subbed because i'm gonna make a few more videos with him

I appreciate that! thank you

haha for real

thats dope!!!

Happy to help brotha! I appreciate you watching

Good point, I will do that

in canada yelling at pedo's. god bless him

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Lou-eye search my videos I have a lot of details on that stuff. I use gaf, landmark or Owen's corning duration. Gun choice is bostich or metabo. Leak barrier home depot ice shield, synthetic felt (4 foot roll)

Bro really said 40 squares more like 40 bundles 😂 they slow ash bro I ain’t even know why they said he was the fastest

Haha i don't fully remember but i think it has something to do with his feet. Probably from so many years on the slopes lol

@@NWIVeteranConstruction Copy that. I didn't know if the slide added extra horsepower or what. 🤣🤣🤣 Ducky is beast, much love to you guys, you've got my sub🤘🤘 Roof on brother. 👊💪

@housbinpharteen7445 they should've used gutter apron on the gutter line, and drip edge on the sides if it has aluminum fascia. There are some exceptions like wood trim

Seriously. Hard to find.

straight up killed it

Thanks for watching man I appreciate the comment. And the 120 bundles was all me. Ducky did like 33 sq one time. But yea the day i got 40 sq it wasn't actually new construction. Me and 4 others tore off about 60 sq, then the next day I shingled 40 sq. Completely alone. I filmed every shingle I installed that day because I know most people wouldn't believe a story like that. And I also went yt live in the middle, and in the end so it was documented on youtube for extra proof. You can check out the videos "quest for 50 sq" oh and it was about 12 hour day. When I edited the film though (for a video which I haven't published yet) the film was only 8 hours n some change when I cut all the trips down the ladder and breaks out of it. So I did it all in about 8.5 hours of having a gun in my hand, with no help at all.

@@NWIVeteranConstruction haha i talk in bundles you talk in sq, not sure what the translation is and different manufactures got different sized bundles. Take care looking forward to new content, everytime i see a video regardless of poster makes me want to film some of my work.

@@lukasevenson let's see it! Love to watch other roofers

That is true, and a relatively new thing. I've only heard about it a few times but that's not something people commonly do here in Indiana. I've never seen it. Great idea though, just not worth the time and money at the moment for me personally

Those guys were on steep roofs doing dumb stuff. We tie off when we feel danger. Also, those things are a Damn hazard on an easy walker like this

haha thanks man. i appreciate you showing the duck some love too. i'll get back on them

You sound brainwashed. Surely you don't wear fall protection when you clean your gutters on a walkable pitch you can safely jump from.... lol why would I as a professional? Him and I have both fallen, it was our fault. We learned not to be stupid up there. Safety is always first, we just don't do it the way you want us to because we don't like tripping hazards laying all over the place

@@mattengels22 we come from the same company and 5 is 1 more than our area requires

Good luck!

Thank you! Yea we have fun up here

Thanks! You too!

Cone down to nwi and we'll do this! Lol

oh they're talkin about it lol old timer whipped me up in a sandal

thank you. we tried

That's what I'm saying. I don't believe for 1 second he's putting 40 squares on in a day even if he can double the speed of what he's going here

Bro. For years!! Him and i listened to People say that shit when they got hired on. Every single one of them was destroyed. Like, didn't even do 30% of what either of us did in a day. Noticing that is what made me 100% certain that making videos about roofing would be beneficial. Helping others learn and drop the delusion. I've installed 40 sq alone in one day. No tosser. Just me and a camera man on the roof and I'm sending the video to guiness for the world record so guys like you can drop the ego and learn. I've also personally seen him do 33 sq in one day. completely alone! about 6 years ago. You have no chance. We can hold this pace for 12 hours and are highly efficient. Day after day. We are different. The fact that you even mentioned hand nailing shows me the lack of understanding you have when it comes to completing a task in a highly efficient manner. Clearly, you don't see what we see because if you did you wouldn't say something so stupid.

@@NWIVeteranConstruction Try hand nailing 20 squares of wooden shakes in 8 1/2 hours, and I'm talking about starting from a small hip up to a dutch end gable across the roof to a valley with an undershot with step flashing before you even put the valley in, and three other side with valley to hip, then you can see what a walk in the park it is to shingle with nail guns

i'm telling you man, it looks that way...but its not true lol shingling alone without a tosser is far more like a marathon that it is a sprint. even the pace we put on in this video is hard to hold for an entire day. anybody that tells you otherwise is lyinnnn lol thanks for watching though

also, it comes down to the finest details. see my most recent yt short and you can see we shingle at basically the same exact pace. the difference that allowed him to beat me by 3 minutes was the finest details stretched throughout the time we shingle. the most common misconception about shingling speed is how fast you nail. speed nailing is actually the least likely thing to contribute to speed, and the most likely thing to contribute to problems

Rarely meet a Mexican roofer who does good work

Faster and careless. The louder you roofgun doesn't mean your the better roofer. I've seen it all in 45yrs as a roofer

Fer sureee

absolute savageeee

@@NWIVeteranConstruction you all are savage af 💪💪 bearcub better have gotten you a fathers day card lol

thank you. i'll try and keep up with it a little better this time around

Awesome, thank you!

Wow! Finally someone who talks about more than just gun speed. There is still hope out there. But listen here bud, I was a little rusty coming into this day, I could've done a couple small things better, but nail placement isn't one of them. That's perfect every time. Btw, I installed 40 sq in one day completely alone and i took into account everything you mentioned x10. Things must shinglers would'nt even consider. You can see the 2 videos on my lives, but I will be posting an uninterrupted version of it soon. The video is about efficiency, so if you think you can teach me something about efficiency, please, go ahead and embarrass yourself lol I'm an absolute professional at this point

@@NWIVeteranConstruction i would absolutely school you on a 12 /12.. wish I had pics just on loading 1

@@NWIVeteranConstruction you were nailing rite in the seem..

@@NWIVeteranConstruction Talk about efficiency, the instructions on the rappers tells you what the side lap is supposed to be, If you set your gauge to that size when you're going hip to hip you run your first course from the opposite hip with the corner of the shingle just a little past the hip and run that course backwards to the other hip using that shingle to start your book and the side laps using your gauge you won't have to do any fill in on you far hip especially on a 4and12 pitch

haha thanks. i couldn't get it all in one take but i definitely spent too much time thinkin about the intro and not enough on shingling

Yessir. He installed 16 on this day. In the brutal heat lol

@@NWIVeteranConstruction and in 30 minutes !!!

sure is i'm pumped

Haha would love to see you do my one Square challenge bud. Look it up on RU-vid and post it if you're serious. I'm gonna hold a competition eventually and you might get an invite

I think ours is identical.... what do you see?

Multiple times I noticed 2nd nail from right didnt look like its spread enough from 1st nail on right. How far would you space them?

Watched portions of video again. Duck's nails are to close to seams of shingles. Only takes 1 misplaced nail to cause a leak. Your nails were spaced better and more consistently...You won... Thanks for your service ( 45years doing roofing and counting)

Thank you!

i just brute through it. god only knows what that mans secrets are lol

Don't do it man. I'm about to quit chewing again. Stay strong and never convince yourself that one cigarette is okay coz you have control over it. it's not. You don't. you're more likely to smoke a pack before the days over than you are to have one cigarette and go back to being strong. Learnt that lesson more than once. Hit the gym or something to burn off some steam when you're feeling ancy and don't forget to praise the benefits when you notice them. Like feeling better, looking better, breathing better, etc. Pay close attention to the good. And if you don't notice the good, lie to yourself 😂

I never done the presidential. Don't know anything about it how much help did he have though lol

?

I'd love to see it!

I was supposed to hold the 2020 roofing Olympics. I do have a one sq challenge though

60?? Well shit I guess I have no excuse then. I'm 54 and about to tackle my 2nd roof (my house) next week. My first roof was the garage I built 20 years ago. I'm not taking any chances though because it's a 12/12 pitch so I'm building full deck scaffolding all around at the eaves plus roping in. I'm also slow asf. 😂

@@alien4053 No you don't.. Get 'er done!.. I hate roofing with a passion..:)

4/12

@@NWIVeteranConstruction Gotcha, from the video it looked like 12/12 and I’m thinking how in the world are these guys doing this with being harnessed.

Yessir thank you

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast is my literal motto. Fast doesn't count if you're a hack. We're the best in the world at our jobs that's why we're aloud to get fast at it. And they're not staples, they're nails with barbs on them that will hold shingles on better than those barbless hand bangs. Also, tar is so far advanced these days it practically does all the work. Check into GAF only nailing the perimeter shingle and then wind testing the shingles in the field that never received nails (they were only allowed sufficient time for the tar to stick). Trust me man, there's nobody that pays more attention to quality than me. It's the sole reason I have the following that I do on here. Check out my part 3 of my most recent roofing series video and let me know if I left anything out you want me to add in 🤣

Just say you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about lol…loud and clueless, nothing like it 🤣 I’m guessing you’re suggesting nail & hammer?

beastttt
