I'm stripping...

[Seth]

...My roof. And it sucks.

 

[Tacoma]

Should have told me, I'd have planned around that!


But it DOES suck. Bad.

 

[Seth]

I think I have fiberglass slivers in legs. I keep thinking there has got to be an easier way. But no. Gotta just keep prying away.

 

[ryslc]

should have called, i would have forgotten to show up for sure!

 

[Tacoma]

Fiberglass????? what kind of roof do you have????


EDIT: you must REALLY be stripping it! I'm assuming fiberglass insulation under the sheathing??? bare bones!

 

[Seth]

Yes were going down to the rafters. I think the shingles have fiberglass that holds them together as well.

i am going to be doing the same thing in the spring.(hopefully not any sooner)

i am not looking forward to tearing off three layers of shingles.

 

[yellowbronco]

Wow Seth, have fun!!

Well call me and I'll come help you.

 

[Seth]

Ya it is two layers of asphalt and one layer of shake. Nasty 1x underneath. I have to strip it all and re-sheath the whole thing and in the mean time frame up the addition and tie it all together. I wish I was at this point a month ago.

i was kinda thinking that it was a lil late in the year to be doing that much work.....

but i am not a roofer.

 

[Seth]

I have been doing the whole addition myself with a little help from friends. Nothing goes as fast as you would hope. That and the wife telling me all summer "we have lots of time" so we can go to family stuff.

I have been trying to spin trusses up today, alone in the wind. Not safe at all. I think I will wait for later tonight so I don't fall and break my back.

 

[Tacoma]

DO YOU NEED HELP!?!?! I'm unemployed still, and could probably make some time for you. Trusses are a two man job.

wow that sounds like what we are going to have to deal with. 1x6 slats under 3 layers of shingles, strip it all off and resheath it all and there will be an addition on the front and on the back of the house. o am not looking forward to this project, i feel for you man.

 

[hambone]

o am not looking forward to this project,

neither am o

 

[Cody]

I still am thankful that they make people that do this stuff for others.

I figure every hour I spend at work can buy at least 5 'imported' man hours of good labor. I'll sit in my nice chair and cut some deals and then pay someone else to do my dirty work.

The joy of being lazy!

 

[Seth]

I did the math on my job. $10k for strip, sheath and shingle vs. I have the tools, I have the materials and I have people willing to help.

That and I cant swing $10k right now and it has to be done asap.

Tacoma, you don't need to drive in from east wendover to work on my place for 5 hours. That is a huge wast of gas and time. Thanks for the offer tough.

 

[Cody]

but how much of that 10k is materials?

But I understand. I'm sorta in the middle of a backyard project and it's expensive to do stuff.

I live in East GUAM, Foolio! Well ok then. If you get in a bind or something, let me know. I had to reroof my parents huge old farmhouse AND the enormous barn/garage one summer, and I would never leave anyone to that themselves unless they want it that way.

I nearly passed out from breathing the fumes in the sun.... Ever go windmilling backwards towards a 35' tall edge? Wakes you RIGHT UP hahahahah

And I live in northeast Guam, I am always willing to help out as well.
