hey there friends Bobby here today hey
folks we've got our roof here marked off
chopped off and we're ready to start
laying some shingles this is the area
that a lot of folks might have some
questions though is how do you get
started where usually before do you lay
your first thing left so I'm going to
show you in this little video we're
gonna have a starter row down here
across the bottom all the way down and
up the top on each side so let's start
with just that started single okay now
look at this shingle here and you can
see that I've cut a half a tab off of
here now the reason I cut the half a tab
off the very first starter single let
you lay because we're going to start
with a full shingle on the bottom so
after this one here is nailed in place
then you say how I line it up so we've
cut a half tab off boat so we want it
flipped upside down lined up on a thirty
inch mark and on our first 10 inch mark
here okay let's go ahead and pop a
couple nails and let's see
down here I don't want to put one in
this very corner I just want to come up
kind of high right here on the single
tab right there near the edge just
something kind of home that's our first
starter now the reason that we
wanted that starter shingle that way
always be six inches since loop will
always have coverage for the water to
shed that office
now let's go ahead and lay one I'm gonna
have to step up on the roof here I've
got my daughter here filming today she's
doing a wonderful job let's go ahead and
lay out start your cable remember turn
around backwards put it on your 12 inch
line okay just butted up against the one
that you just nailed down let's pop a
couple nails in it and there's your
starters already laid there now let's
lay our very first shingle okay we're
going to take a pull shingle take a full
one every we'll lay it right down here
on our thirty-six inch mark okay put it
on twelve it or ten inch line at the top
they put it on your thirty six-inch Wow
needles November don't nail down here
because we still haven't run our other
shingle underneath there yet so don't
don't nail that into that one yeah over
here up high again alright there we go
now we have another grab another angle
that has a six six inch half of the tab
cut off and lay it up here now look here
folks we will line it up on the 30 inch
line but we don't have a line we didn't
talk our lines every 5 inches 10 inches
is good enough now what you want to do
your sleep where your tabs come up here
at where the peak of that tab is you
want the bottom of the shingles so on
these in between lines in between
shingle rows you'll just simply line up
the bottom of the shingle that you're
laying with the peak of these tabs there
okay go ahead and know that all right
now let me show you exactly what talking
about Murray get the camera down here
get a little closer on this singer focus
in this area right here what I'm talking
about place is when you're lining that
shingle plug the one that you don't have
a line for right here where this peak is
in this peak here just line the bottom
edge of that shingle okay on those
in-between lines that's what I'm talking
about now now that we have this if we
had our starter single here run and
another single laid we can lay another
one here so basically this is how you
get started that shingle that will go on
would be a foolish angle you line it up
on your 36 inch mark and your 10 inch
line right there
then go ahead and nail it hi corner here
and don't nail this because we've still
got a feed in here okay
well as we carry these runs out we can
just work our way all the way up the
roof folks that's how you get started on
a three tab roof I hope the video was
helpful thank you for watching today and
we will see you next time take care
