Here is me with my nephews, working on a roofing job last summer. Hint: I'm the guy with the beard...:laughing:

And for what it is worth, that was the worst roofing tear off job I have ever done in my life, look at how thick the layers are !!!!

Wow the house must have been a hundred years old

Don't want to scare anybody with a picture of me !

About the roof - When I was in high school Dad and I tore off the roof in the house we were living in.
I'm not sure how many layers, but the last nails used were 3" and had not touched the roof sheeting boards. This was in upstate NY where we got SNOW -- I know the house had full 2"x4" hardwood studs and were full length from sill plate to attic. The 2nd floor joist were notched into the studs. We were told that the first owner / builder owned a lumber mill.

BK, odds are I am the oldest and ugliest guy here on LMF so don't think your pic would scare anybody :laughing:

About the roof it isn't my house my brother bought a foreclosed house and the place was built about 1960, in 1975 or so they built onto the back and the original roof was a simple Cape Cod type and they put a really low slope shed type roof on the back, maybe 15 degrees at most and every time they had a leak they just installed another layer atop the existing ones, the roof deck was so rotted out when you walked on the roofing it would feel really flexible. If you look at the chimney in the background of the pic of us guys you can see how far they built up the flashing and tar there. That wasn't the actual level of the roofing just the flashing they piled on there.

Our house at the time was over 100 years old in the 60s. The first layer was Cedar Shakes and then MANY layers of shingles and tar paper. The layers were over 3" thick.

If I put a pic in with the Ventrac maybe people can look at the tractor instead of me !

Good pic, I have to laugh at the contrast, you are likely in 20 degree weather and it was close to 90 when we were doing that roof....:laughing:

I would but right now I am dealing with a huge stalker that has gotten to the point of court ordered restraining order, the fool follows me around all places so for now just think of me as the person behind the keyboard. I do love seeing people though and putting names with faces, ahhh, maybe one day. :laughing:
