Re: Craziest Shingle Tear-Off Method Ever?

This method is not for the faint of heart. To their credit, the operator took his time and there was a spotter (the cameraman). I too would be concerned about unnecessary stresses put on the building. A machine like that is capable of toppling a house quite easily and the likelihood of damage to the roof/house goes up exponentially. Its a huge risk that im not sure the insurance company would like to see you take. I'm reminded of the movie Top Gun where Charlie says "The encounter was a victory, but we
show it as an example of what not to do." and someone behind Maverick says "Gutsiest move I ever saw, man."
