  1. When cutting shingles especially old dry ones, wear gloves. If your utility knife slips you will leave your knuckles skin on the roof. It's like 10 grit sandpaper.

  2. Hey Tommy I have a skylight it’s leaking is it true that when the skylight leaks you have to replace the entire skylight or can we just replace the flashing ?

  3. Really love these shows, there's another TOH skylight replacement job video that I just saw and Tommy was very adamant about needing a safety harness that's tied to the roof and it was him and Kevin doing it. Now here's a video Tommy and the homeowner, nah we don't need safety gear.
