The new shop. Progress.

Handful of 1/4" impact drivers and it will go fast. Valleys are what really suck. Just a plain old shop roof is easy peasy!
 
They looked at a satellite photo and saw some shingles missing. No shingles are missing. At some time before we bought the place, some were replaced with a lighter color. They did not care.

We have a locked insurance cost for 10 years. We are right at 5 years. This is how they get out of not raising our rates. Once they cancel the policy, it goes into a database and every carrier in the nation sees it. Now no one will write a policy.
 
Never seen anyone predrill a steel roof.

I'd be afraid of holes missing a stringer.:dunno:
 
I'm not scared here. But not as comfortable as I used to be.

I can usually go up about half way of the lifts capability.
Like around 40' with an 80, etc.
They seem to be semi stable up to that. Beyond that they move around too much and I can't do it lol.

And with an articulated like that, I do as much as possible without raising the main stage.
I tray and do it all with the regular boom if I can.
 
Stringers are used over a normal shingle roof in all the steel roofs done here. May be different farther south.

With stringers, you do one and check it. Then use it as a template.

I found it was easier to do the verticle with articulation portion first. Use the others for fine tuning.
Probably less of an issue with a plywood base.
This.
