How to re roof steel soldiers way

[FM5332FF]

So, Im doing alot of work on my property and one of the things I have to do is replace the roof on my house, So to make it easy I just move the truck around as the shingles are pulled, there was only a little left to pick on the ground,

If you do not have tall enough ladders the bed of the truck makes a nice 4 to 5 foot boost.

I was eyeballing my deuce the same way when my boss said he wants to have a roofing party.

Re-roofing a shelter was the first job one of our deuces did, when we got it.

Now you wish that you had a dumper Deuce!

 

[jdknech]

its all great! till you find that ONE pesky NAIL! as i found out(395's are not easy to repair) lol

Nice...what part of town is that? The trees remind me of the north or east in Lee County, but the home style is not super common with those shutters, I like it.

A roofing party? Sounds like the boss wants to have a free roof put on!

And since you're correcting errors... it should be "than a third grader" - not "then a third grader"...

Or a scaffold... or a trap platform... or....
What can't you do with these trucks?

Be discrete?

Nice pictures.

Scout, is something wrong with your front end in that one picture? or are my eyes playing tricks on me

 

[Scout]

Yup - good eye. I had a chunk of 20" dia telephone pole that ended up under the front end. Got a whole series of photos on that repair...

I like the trap platform but not so keen with the scaffold since I do construction and that kind of thing can lead to disaster .
either a huge fine or collapse and lawsuit .

My 5 ton dump would work better for a roofing job.

I have many years as a GC in NYS, and understand your concern. That thing was safer than a lot of situations I saw working for one of the largest contractors in NYS... I only put myself on that rig... you don"t even want to see the pictures of me driving the telephone poles...

I like the skeet shooting pics. great idea!!

I did the same with my deuce on my house, and then my neighbors. took about an hour for me to empty the shingles by myself, as I didn't have a chained pallet in the front of the truck either time and had to toss them out by hand...

I have the dump hoist, and pump now... Just got to get it done.
