2:04 "and I thought roofing in the middle of summer as a redhead was tough"
Ffffff
I appreciate it
I am never able to lift the nails out as easily as Tommie. At 1:47, you can see the young whipper snapper Kevin had the same problem and tore the shingle in two places.
It would have been so funny and realistic if the window was slightly too small and it just fell into the house when they tried to put it in lol
When they're done Tommy says, "That's it the roof is done." Kevin drops his hammer and cracks the glass. Tommy says, "There's one last thing I want to do." Throws Kevin off the roof. 😀
Wish I had a dollar for every time they say "That's not going anywhere"
Tom Silva is the best. He knows everything and always does s quality job. Love this show.
MONEY WASTE THEY LEAK AFTER FIVE YEARS
