Roof Party(shameless begging)

[DrMoab]

I know several of you already know but we are in a desperate need of a roof on our house.

Since money is a little tight we are going to do it our selfs and I am desperately looking for some good help.

The plan is to do it over the 16th and 17th of Sept.

I can't offer much for the help but I Can cook each of you up a HUGE steak and buy you the beverage of your choice.

TIA.

[stewie]

if im not working by then, im in. just give me a bit of a reminder as we get closer as im sure the baby will be the center of my attention. i dont have much skills to offer, but i will apply what i know and galadly learn the rest

[0313]

If I am around I will help. Cant promise anything though.




Edit: Wait I think Jeremy and I were going wheeling, anyone else wanna go?

If you were doing it on the weekend I'd gladly be there. But have work those days.

Sorry to inform you but the 16th and 17th are Saturday and Sunday (the weekend). I guess Ryan has at least one showing up.

[Clint]

..I was looking at the August calendar
lol

[Geepfreak]

I am going to list my participation.


But i willl be planning on pizza/tri-tip/hamburgers/atleast water for refreshment.

[goodburbon]

I'll be in the region, what town and state are you in, if its not too much of a haul from Salida, CO I'll lend a hand.

[JeeperG]

Do we get fired before we hit the ground?

[Geepfreak]

Uhhh, Utah, and Fruity Heights, not sure where Salida is directly, but i would guess maybe only a 8-9 hour drive..

:D

[DrMoab]

Do we get fired before we hit the ground?
You might. :D just because it is you.

BTW how was Tool?

[JeeperG]

You might. :D just because it is you.

BTW how was Tool? I missed it, was at work. I heard it was good though.

[DrMoab]

I missed it, was at work. I heard it was good though.
I thought you were going.

Sorry, Dr Can't make it that far.

[JeeperG]

I thought you were going. I was hoping, but my buddy took a female friend instead. :confused1

[XJSpencer]

I can't be there. What else could I do to help. Do you need anything to do the job? I might be able to get you a deal on the material. PM me...

You can't be fired because you weren't wanted on the roof anyway. Trespasser!

[MATTVW65]

most likely ill be there for ya

Couple compressors and a few knailers.... :kissyou:

[Geepfreak]

How about a couple guys to haul the wafer and shingles on the roof?

Somehow I don't don't see a roofing supply truck showing up to deliver..:tears:

[DrMoab]

Somehow I don't don't see a roofing supply truck showing up to deliver..:tears:
I have a buddy who's dad used to own a roofing business. He thinks he still has some contacts in the roofing supply industry. He thinks he can get a truck there.

[DrMoab]

Couple compressors and a few knailers.... :kissyou:
Yes...a couple of compressors would be great. I have a line on one roofing nailing gun now. A couple more couldn't hurt.

Also if anyone has a line on shingle removing tools.

My old roof has to come off.

[lesslimited]

My nailer will be heading there next week.

For removal, depending on how well it was fastened, the good ol' pitch fork or baling fork will work pretty well.

I've done more of these jobs than I wanted to, and the one thing I've found is that you can't have too many people. Depending on the size of the roof, 6-8 people up there, and at least 2-3 on the ground is the minimum, to avoid having to work too hard trying to get it done in two days.

Have fun, and be safe party1:

[xj4moab]

Sorry i will be in New York that weekend

[DaveW]

Sorry i will be in New York that weekend
I thought you were done traveling. :dunno:

[DrMoab]

He would rather go drink beer then help.

Only reason he is going...to drink beer.

[xj4moab]

:cheers:

[XJSpencer]

I don't have a roofing gun. I've got 5 framing nailers.....Anyway, I could send a compressor and some hoses with someone from down this way. You have 220? You could use my garage compressor, It can run more guns than you can fit on that roof and it's portable too. :D

Square shovels and a heavy snow shovel would take it off. Those roof removal tools that look like a spork are the ticket though.

I'll check if I can get a loaner gun or two from my tool guy.

My dad has 220. If I could run a cord long enough....OR long enough air hoses. But then again....he has a 220 compressor too.

What size hoses? I could send up a big 3/8" with big fittings. A small hose won't run much volume if it's over 100'....or I could send up the Emglo wheelbarrow. It could handle it also.


Are you going to be replacing any Sheathing?

[SCW]

Are you replacing any wood? Pitchforks work pretty well for removal, cheap too. Thoses spork things are great too, but limited use once you finish the roof. Make sure you plan on plenty of attic venting, most roofs die an early death because the get so hot above and below, it will help your cooling cost to improve venting too. Depending on the age and condition of your plumbing jack you may want to replace those while your up there.

I might be able to help out some, I don't get to commit to anything more than a few hours ahead these days.

Vents are a huge problem my house has now. It doesn't have any and it gets HOT.

I want to vent the crap out of it...Hoping it might help keep the house cooler in the summer too.

[Geepfreak]

I have access to another roofing nailer, and regular nail guns for re-sheathing.

I have also decided that when we are done with Ryans, we can come do the same thing to the front part of my house.:D

[ROOK1]

I have a compressor that can be used.

[XJBANKER]

I dont think that I have any plans that weekend and would be glad to lend a hand.

[Brad M.]

I would be there but the wife's brother is getting married that weekend, gonna be outta town. Bummer, roofing parties are great. Always fun to see who's the first to fall off :roll:

Don't say that....I have a very high roof.

[Brad M.]

Don't say that....I have a very high roof.

I admit it... I'm evil. Ok, I take it back :) Ya'll be safe now, ya hear?

[XJSpencer]

Don't say that....I have a very high roof.

It's not steep though.

[XJEEPER]

Since it's a complete re-roof, peak vents are the way to go.....not sure the cost of peak VS turtle vents between every other truss.

There's also some good membranes out for eves and valleys that prohibit leakage through ice damming. Are you doing a complete tear off to wood?

Yup. Complete tear off. I have no choice. It is in really bad shape. It should have been replaced about 4 years ago. I still don't know why it doesn't leak.

Yeah peak vents are on my list. I got enough money to buy higher quality materials and I NEED to vent it well.

Why do you NEED to replace it if it doesn't leak at all? The insurance told me I NEEDED to do mine 5 years ago. I got new insurance instead of a new roof.:D It looks like it needs it, but it still performs like it's supposed to.

[SCW]

Why do you NEED to replace it if it doesn't leak at all? The insurance told me I NEEDED to do mine 5 years ago. I got new insurance instead of a new roof.:D It looks like it needs it, but it still performs like it's supposed to.

x2, if you want to wait for a time when you have extra money, go ahead. You should have lots of warning when you need a new roof, especially all the way down to trusses.

If your worried about shingles you can have as many as three layers of shingles on a roof, I've done quite a bit of roofing in Layton (just up the street from you in fact) and many homes have multiple layers. You can still whack in some roof vents, either turtle or ridge (I'd use both). You may want to take a trip into your attic and see if there is any water damage. I'd only replace damaged stuff, if there is some. We just moved into our house here and there are a lot of damaged shingles and quite a few that are curling up, so I went up in the attic and looked things over pretty well, I think it's OK but needs a new layer, maybe next year.

I'll still try to help if you want to strip it bare, I just don't think you really need that kind of expense/work.

Oh it needs it...its only a miricle it doesn't leak. The shingles are so curled and crusty you even look at them and they break off. Every time we even get a breeze we have tons of grit and parts of shingles that end up on our cars.

It is in totally bad shape. So bad that there is no way I could ever put a new set of shingles over the old ones.

[DrMoab]

.I'll still try to help if you want to strip it bare, I just don't think you really need that kind of expense/work.
Like I just said in the last post. I don't have a choice to strip it bare. There is no way to lay shingles over the roof that is on it now.

I have a very good friend who used to own a roofing company with his dad. He looked at it and couldn't figure out why it doesn't leak either.

[XJSpencer]

Wow. That is bad. I've never had pieces fall off of mine.

[stewie]

Always fun to see who's the first to fall off :roll:

someone better put a rope arround me lol

if its that bad, please get into your attic and look at the wood. if areas show signs of weakening or rot, make it known to those working. my family put a new roof on my grandparents place last summer and my aunt fell through. she was extremely lucky she didnt get her arm ripped all the way off. the bone in the shoulder broke and cut all the tissue under the skin and the skin was the only thing holding her arm on from what i understand.

[SCW]

Um, she won't be helping on Ryan's house will she? :D My folks own a home in Stansbury Park that had a leaky roof. One day this summer the swamp cooler came crashing through the roof into the hallway. Lots of work on that house, but still not as bad as ripping your arm off. Hope your aunt is ok, despite my crass joke.

[stewie]

yah, she is fine now. the 3 or so surgeries gave her most of the range of movement back

Well.....when the swamp cooler line broke and we lost the whole ceiling in the kitchen I spent quite a bit of time in the attic.

My house basicly has two pitches. The one above the bedrooms slopes east and west and the roof there is still in pretty ok shape.

The pitch that is above the kitchen and living room is the worst part and when I was in that attic everything really looked pretty good.

[MoabXJeeper]

I will try to make it if only to learn how so I can do my own roof Ryan. No promises but I will definitely try to be there.

You haven't been around much lately.

[LostSoul]

I can come help. just let me know where and what time it starts...:farmer:

[Brad M.]

Sorry Ryan, can't make the party. My wife reminded me that her brother's getting married next saturday so we'll be out of town that weekend. I swear, someone's always either dying or getting married and messin up my :NAXJA: plans :rolleyes:

[best88xj]

I can come on sunday nothing going on that day let me know time and place. I work on sat. so might be able to come up in the evening. Let me know if you still need compressors and hose I do have one.

[TRNDRVR]

I'm there on Friday evening after work, can be there Saturday evening if still needed.

[SCW]

SCW = Yes, but I need to put a bushing in my steering shaft sometime that day as well.

[luv2offroad]

If someone tells me where you live then I and my daughter will be there to assist in the cooking, hauling, clean up, whatever we girls can do. We can come Friday night and anytime on Saturday.

[Clint]

They're house is super easy to find. Go up i15 until you get to the highway 89 exit next to lagoon. Follow that up until you get to the second light. The turn to their road is immediately after the second light on the left hand side. "Ward road" The house is the first one facing south. Look for a big yellow dodge :)

Quit flirting with the new girl.

[luv2offroad]

One more question -- what days??

The original post says the 16th & 17th which are Saturday & Sunday. And some of you say you can come on Friday. Either way, I'm pretty free the whole weekend (barring any homework we may have to get done).

[Clint]

Quit flirting with the new girl.


:twak:

[ROOK1]

:twak:

She wants not part of being your 5th wife and watching your 23 children.

[Mrs Moab]

Ryan is going to start on Friday and we will be working through the weekend, so any help is great, even if it's just for a couple of hours.

Thanks Clint for posting the map, I was just going to do that. You're such a good boy.

We are also still looking for any air compressors, and nail guns that anyone has to offer. Ryan said that he would come pick it up on Friday.

[ROOK1]

I have a compressor he can use. I am still not sure if I will be able to make it.

[Clint]

Thanks Clint for posting the map, I was just going to do that. You're such a good boy.



:yelclap:

[best88xj]

I can bring my compressor up on sunday or you can pick it up in af on sat. Let me know

[stewie]

for me it all depends on my daughter. right now were still sitting at 1cm and occasional contractions. grrr i wish she would stop teasing me and get here already! but if she is not here by then i will deifinitly be there. that goes for fri too. what time start on friday?

[XJEEPER]

Sorry Ryan, I'll be locked in my basement......rather be roofing than installing insulation.

[TRNDRVR]

take her to Taco Bell and then jeepin dude....Im telling you. Go somewhere close and take the Cell just in case but get her out in that bouncy jeep with bad Taco Bell gas. :passgas: :rattle: Fixed!

What's Fridays schedule?

[DrMoab]

Fixed!

What's Fridays schedule?
Friday morning I will be running around picking up crap. Then in the afternoon I figure I will start tearing the roof off.

[SCW]

Will we be packing shingles up a ladder, or are you getting roof-top delivery?

What time are you planning to start Saturday? If I get my steering shaft fixed Friday night I can come up early and bring some doughnuts. I don't expect the shaft to take long.

[DaveW]

I'll be there some time saturday.
I have to fix my shed door that broke that morning. The new metal frame should be finished then.
If more junk doesn't come up and I can get the gears pulled from the donor Thursday night I'll stop over Friday too.

The weather forcast does not look the best to a roofing party.

Yes the weather is not looking so well.. Hopefully we can get this done. Having a wet roof with no shingles really bites....

[SCW]

It looks like there are at least 5 of us, maybe as many as 8. We should be able to motor through it pretty fast, especially if the old roof is already started coming off the night before.

[JEEPZZ]

It doesn't look like I'll be able to make it. I got recruited to help clean out Julie's sisters basement. On Sunday, we'll be moving all of our old furniture out of our garage over to her basement.
The good news is I finally get my garage back.

Looks like he needs some big ol' tarps :D

[Mrs Moab]

Looks like he needs some big ol' tarps :D

I was just on the phone with Ryan and with the weather and all...as of now everything is still a go....and yes, the tarps may be in place for the rain, but we will kinda play it by ear and let everyone know what is going on.

As for when were starting....I'm not sure on Friday. Ry is going to be going around and gathering stuff. Were picking up a dump trailer for the shingles to be dumped into but can't get that until Friday between 3 and 5. The supplies will be delivered on Friday and yes, we will be carrying them up by hand. Ryan has a friend, Tyson, who is going to be helping on Saturday, that I talked with last night and he said that thier really not that heavy....I hope he knows what he's talking about. Then Saturday, whenever you can come is fine. Any help is better than none. I'm guessing that we'll probably be up and going between 8 and 9, pending the weather, and then the same again on Sunday.

This is all that I know as of now. Ryan is on his way to Vegas and should be back sometime tomorrow. I'm sure that we he gets back and we make all of our plans he'll post them up here.

Thanks for everyone that has volunteered to help, like I said, any help is better than none.

On the phone again with Ryan and he said to let everyone know that tomorrow is the cut off day. If the weather is looking like it's going to be really bad then we'll just call it off.

And I was also informed that the shingles WILL be delivered to the roof...woohoo!

[JeeperG]

Good cause I will be at Gigantour on Friday and work on Saturday.

Just a thought- having done several roofs in the spring time. If it is put off to another weekend you likely won't have as much help (this is the only weekend in Sept I could help, I'm sure other are scheduled as well). Also, with several guys and nail guns we could have the old roof torn off only minutes ahead of the new going on. Even if the rain is a drizzle we should be able to stay on top of it pretty fast. Just getting new tar paper on will make it watertight temporarily.

I guess my suggestion is to work through a drizzle and get it done this weekend. I have a hat and a jacket- :D I doubt it will rain hard for very long.

[Mrs Moab]

I just talked to Ryan on the phone. Were NOT going to be doing the roof this weekend. In talking with our shingle man we have decided that it's too much of a risk with the weather. So we'll plan on doing it sometime in mid-October.

Thank you to everyone who has willingly said that they would help....but any help in October will still be nice if you can.

[Clint]

Oh bummer.. I'm definetly in to help whenever you decide to do it...
Now what to do this weekend?? Anyone doing anything?

[XJBANKER]

we all have Jeeps that we could put to use.

[Clint]

Some people were saying they needed to wrench on their junk this weekend?

[luv2offroad]

Great, I had my whole weekend blocked out too. Although I have to admit that I'm not over bummed at not working on a roofing job in the nasty weather.

You won't get a free steak and beer out of it though. :D

[Mrs Moab]

The party is back on if anyone is willing to help out. As of now, were shooting for the weekend of October 20-22.
I'm told that this is opening weekend of the Deer Hunt, so if anyone is not going to take out bambi, I've already taken mine out for the year so I can't go, we could use the help.
I'm also still willing to throw in the steak dinner Saturday.

Thanks in advance.

[SCW]

Crap, I had a compressor, gun and nails all lined up too. That's the weekend I'm taking my wife on her first pheasant hunt on a farm in Cache Valley.

I'll see what I can do to help on Friday night, but there isn't much choice for me on Saturday or Sunday.

[Mrs Moab]

Crap, I had a compressor, gun and nails all lined up too. That's the weekend I'm taking my wife on her first pheasant hunt on a farm in Cache Valley.

I'll see what I can do to help on Friday night, but there isn't much choice for me on Saturday or Sunday.

Any help is better than none.

[best88xj]

I can be there at about 6:00 pm on sat. and you can have me all day sunday if you still need help. I know six is late but still have 4 hours until the people next door get mad. Just let me know if you need a compres. I will bring mine with me.

[JeeperG]

I will be sick those days. ;)

[Brad M.]

I might be able to make it... Are we talkin' Porterhouse or Ribeye? :D :D

[best88xj]

It can be what ever you want as long as you dont look at it while you eat it.

If I was'nt being political right now, THAT would be an awesome signature line!

LOL, LMAO,ROFLMAO, you get the point.....:D:D

[best88xj]

I will have to remember that and add it later. The rule of thumb is "If it came off the grill with hair you might not want seconds". words to ponder gentleman.

[Mrs Moab]

I might be able to make it... Are we talkin' Porterhouse or Ribeye? :D :D

You tell me what you prefer and I"ll have it here.

[XJBANKER]

So how do we choose between working on a roof or going on the noobie run?

[Clint]

Newbie run is the 28th, the roof party is the week before

[Mrs Moab]

Newbie run is the 28th, the roof party is the week before

Yes, two fun filled weekends with IC memebers, what could be better?

The IC Chapter, were not just about Jeepin', were about our members.

[JeeperG]

were about our members.

:D :gag:

[Brad M.]

You tell me what you prefer and I"ll have it here.

Oh, come on now. I'm not THAT shallow... or am I? Food is just a bonus, it's the joy of rubbing shoulders with fellow roofers that draws us together :D :D

[SCW]

[Mrs Moab]

OK, it's official, Ryan has this weekend off. We will be working on the roof, so any help is appreciated.

We won't be able to really start until Saturday morning.

I'd like to have a head count of who is planning on helping out, even if it's only for a couple of hours so I know what to plan for.

Thanks guys, you're awesome!

[Mrs Moab]

Not sure exactly what time Ryan is going to be getting off of work, but he said that anyone is welcome to come over and start that part if they are willing to. He thinks that he should be home late morningish...early afternoonish.

Like I said, any help is better than none.

There will be a steak dinner for those that are there at dinner time on Saturday.

[Mrs Moab]

cant make sat. will be there on sunday at 8-8:30

We'll be glad to have ya!

Who knows, maybe I'll have a good breakfast ready Sunday morning for those coming to help.

[best88xj]

That would be nice. mmmmmmmmm bacon. Is there anything that you still need besides people that I might have.

[DrMoab]

For those of you who are planning on being here Saturday and having a Steak dinner.....I have a spin to throw on this....as the weather is going to be cold, what if we were to do a big pot of stew with homemade rolls.

Post up and let me know what you would prefer.

[TRNDRVR]

If I'm home on Saturday, I was going to try and come over to (supervise) help.

[SCW]

Do you want to try to get something done tomorrow night? I have the option of working a full day and getting some overtime, or cutting short and just getting 40 hrs. I could be up to your place about 4pm if you want to try to get started.

[ROOK1]

I have in my posession a Bostitch Nailer and a compressor for tomorrow. You (Ryan) will need to supply nails for it. See you tomorrow.

[Mrs Moab]

Yeah, well I ended up at the university all afternoon, can't leave till 4:30 and I don't want to sit in traffic till dark trying to get to your house.

I get to work all weekend from home, so I'm not missing out on any money. After a while you would rather do something besides work anyway.

Good luck tomorrow!

[DrMoab]

K....Removing shingles sucks. One hour and I have a section about 2 feet by ten feet removed.

[SCW]

Use a pitchfork, start at the bottom. Just pry them up and take big chunks at a time, clean up the nails and remainder later. Should go fast-

Actually its very slick and frosty up there right now. The sun needs to warm it up for a bit so people don't fall off.

[XJumpmaster]

[DrMoab]

Shingles suck, nails suck, nasty old shingles suck, felt sucks, nail guns suck but good friend who are willing to give their weekends up to help for nothing more then a little stew are the best things in the world.

Thanks to everyone who could help today. I don't think I can ever repay all of you for the help.

[best88xj]

[DrMoab]

all that remains is above the front door and where the shingles were really bad before we tore them off.

i want to get the rest done tomorrow. well maybe not all the finish work (capping the tops and cutting the valleys). wensdays forcast calls for AM rain and SNOW!! i want to give Ryan and Nannett the piece of mind for that day.

i will be over there after Nannett gets off work or if Ryan gets off early. any help is greatly apreciated. we now have some work lights so after dark is not a problem

thanks
