Show me your gnarliest roofs you've ever done

Is that shake and a metal channel to help with drainage? Glad to see that worked :smile:

I just don’t know how people let things get this bad

And first gnarly roof of the season goes to…

Last roof of the year And it was a doozy. Probably about 15 contractor bags of moss. Hundreds and hundreds of pounds of moss came off. Was super windy and blew through about 120 gallons of sh. Nice little chunk of change though.

Wow….amazing. So much moss.

Do people not realize they’re ruining their roof by letting it go this long?

What do you do with all that moss? Landfill or one of those recycling places? Just curious.

It really depends. In a perfect world the person has nature in their yard and I can just let it be. That’s easiest for me of course :face_with_tongue:.

If it’s just moss like this I take it to a place that I can drop off stumps, grass clippings, etc. and they collect it.

Other option is the dump but that’s expensive and a real pita.

Another option is on trash day inset out a bag or two of trash next to my bin and for like 3 bucks a bag, they take it. I’ve been using this option but with so many bags I’m going to have to take it somewhere because weather isn’t conducive to having these bags rotting in my f150

Yeah. I don’t know this place is a military building too so I’m surprised they let it get this bad. Should have seen the gutters. Plugged full to the brim. Tight packed in there. Was an absolute nightmare to clean out.

I wondered if you guys had one of those landscape recycling places. We have a lot of shale, clay, and either sandstone or limestone around here, so people would take it off your hands for composting. Especially this time of year with more browns than greens due to the leaves falling.

that roof is shot

I had to do a huge barn like this once before. It was too large to ladder so I needed to use a lift. Not even 5 minutes after it arrived it got stuck in some deep wet ground and I spent the entire afternoon digging the thing out. Some jobs are better left un done :face_with_tongue:

Has been more treacherous pitches than gnarly roofs this year to be honest but this metal one kept me busy for quite some time. I’m starting to refine my metal roof method and have what I actually do and feel comfortable doing, vs what I should probably be doing but what my brain doesn’t like doing whe. It comes to walking these things.

Nothing crazy or too gnarly for me but this was a steep one I did recently. Ran this one by Racer since its the steepest roof I’ve done and he said go for it.

Looks amazing!

Did you shoot that whole thing from the ground? How did you get the highest points? Some tough angles there.

Thanks, it was a combination of from the ground, on the porch roof, and in the valley to the left of the porch roof. Looking forward to more like this, there’s a ton around my area like this. It was only the second roof with the AR30 and I’m happy about the purchase vs my 12v which I’ve used for quite a few.

Totally agree. Have the Comet w proportioner.

If I can get on the actual roof, treating them takes like 30 min.
