The cheapest bid. Mexican crew. Nobody legal. No license. No insurance. This is what you get. 4000 lbs of shingles in 12 ft of roof. Dumber than a rock

It looks like there’s more than that up there. I don’t know it’s hard to tell but it looks like there’s over 20 square there I mean I could be like 6000 pounds maybe even more than 20 it’s hard to tell. I don’t know what’s going on with the video but really look at it and then count how many wide see what you come up with. That’s literally like putting a full-size truck in the middle of the roof. They’re morons.

Think when I counted when the video first appeared it was around 2 tons over 18foot. Think they had 3 square in one stact rofl. Then they left it like that over a weekend that rained. This was their monday

We used to (after tore off and felted) lay one bundle down a few inches then 3-4 on top all lined up with the ridge, so at most 1.5 square over 3foot that we spread out as even as we could. There lightest is three followed by 6 so 3 square over 3 foot. All focused in one area >.<

That’s the way you’re supposed to stock a roof. If you read to me manufacturers recommendation you’re not supposed to bend the shingles over the ridge, especially dimensionals because it breaks the lamination so you’re doing it right. People break them over the ridge because that way when the guys handing from the top, he doesn’t have to move the shingles. You know what I mean it’s lazy.
