I was on the original for about 3 years when Vickey made the move and changed it all around. I tried really hard to get used to it, but it just wasn't the same. I really do like this format, and it seems to work for everyone. IO am even able to post pictures now and that is something I wanted to do for years. Way to go Vickey.
We love the site Vicky. I always come and snoop
Thank you so much Old School and thanks to you and everyone that is still around for sticking it out through thick and thin.
Boy I have done just about everything you can do wrong in the last 2 years all in an effort to make things better. Un-doing the mistakes has been humbling to me. But look at the site now. Stevie and Sarah have done an amazing job rebuilding. I know most of you only look at the Forum but the site as a whole has a lot to offer. Every once in a while press HOME.
You know what bothers me about the pictures of those guys roofing is that they don't pay any attention to where they are nailing the nails when they are running the gun. They are also not keeping their hand parrell to the roof and I know that they nails on either end of the shingle are at an angle and they cut through the shingle. We use staple guns for that reason. The staples are parralel to the bottom of the shingle and through the headlap of the shingle so that we don't get the blow-offs. Also, I never put the gun down when I am shingling. We stair-step the shingles, so we don't have to pick up the side to nail under.
At the end of the day though, both of the video's are better than the average roofer. I do like to watch that more than the "girls dancing videos. Those were just stupid! In my opinion anyway.
Interesting Canadian company.

That's a tough one to find. How about this instead?
I would rather see a video of roofers roofing!

robert, good idea!
It's raining again, stuck in the office.
Well we could live the joint up with some dancing girls! :woohoo: :woohoo:
I like it now. Hated it at first but surprisingly got used to it, did'nt think I would......It's quieter than NRG these days though..
You could always start talking about techniques for the various roof types. That has been sorely missed for awhile from my recolection.
Yeah...I am still retarded ...maybe I will figure it out in 3 years as well :huh: :dry:
