Nah, my names Jimmy, the kid was just getting cocky,he'd done a dozen roofs and knew it all. I was saying at break that he had to speed up and I could shingle faster then him and I'd nail by hand. He didn't believe me so... He got better with time though, I think he's got a reno business of his own now. Of course if I'd been using my nail gun there would have been no contest... |

I worked in the building trades for a lot of years before nail guns though, we had to learn to swing a hammer at trade school, it was the first thing they tested when we started our course. I could always do roofing nails in a tap and a hit too... |

Well I was lucky that I went to trade school and got my ticket before they gutted the apprenticeship system in Ontario.(1975) My license is an inter-provincial too, has a pretty red seal, not everyone in my class got that , just the top few.Tik-bang ..tik-bang.... oh yeah. Lots of hours of that over the years... |

HoLE | Better then those damn 1and3/4 suckers. I always used a long handle round mouth shovel to strip, I thought it gave me better leverage..  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
