Before starting any
project always think safety |
|
|
keep in mind the reason it cost so much money to
have roofing work done is because Roofing can Be a
very dangers
job. You must always be aware of what you are doing
and take all the proper percussions necessary. When
working on a roof to do
the job. Make sure you use a strong and sturdy
roofing
ladder. A pair of gloves could come in handy in the
summer roof shingles can get very hot. also most
roof shingles
have granules on them and can do a good scathing up
job on you knuckles.
Another good idea is to wear a tool belt so that you
can move around hands free. even more important then
that the last thing you want to do is wear any type
of shoes or boots with a smooth soles. Pitched roofs
can be very slippery. and you do not want to fall
off a roof that could be very bad. It may be a good idea to
make sure someone else is around just in case. knee
pads would also be a good idea. drinking water is a
plus. |

holes under it. Make sure you put it in enough so
that when you are finished the roof shingle you

your three slots. Use-8 penny galvanized nails.To
install your roof brackets. Do not push them in to
hard you will need to remove them later. Now take a pieces of
your new roofing shingle one tab will do. Slide it under the bottom
side of the roof bracket to protect the roof shingles under
it.

straight go no longer then Three feet .Now do the same as you did with
the first roofing bracket
Step-1 Picture-two
Buy or cut a plank. Use a 2x8 or 2x10. You want the
plank to fit into your roof brackets nice and snug.
If using only two roof jacks. to be on the safe side
use one jack for every three feet. Witch means If
using only two roof jacks your plank shouldn't be
any longer then 4-feet. Because you want no more
then 6 inches over hang on either side. |

remove the plank from your brackets. Now just like
when you installed them. Lift up the roof shingle
that over laps the roof bracket. you don't wont to
pull the nails out. You use a hammer to beat against
the downhill end of your roof bracket. Trying
to move the roof jack uphill. As you beat the roof
jack uphill, the diagonal slots come into play. The
roof jack moves uphill, as the diagonal slots slide
along the three nails. When you've driven the roof
jack uphill about 1.5", the nails are no longer in
those diagonal slots. The roof jack is freed. Now
the roof jack just slides downhill and the three
nails are left in place under the roof shingle. Now
