Question:

what tools do i need to have to fix a roof (shingles), and put in busted glass windows (frames still intact)?

it's chaotic here, house got hit by tornado. contractors are too busy and not enough hands and time to do a for hire. volunteers are all around but super busy. if i at least grab the materials and tools i can make the process easier for everyone. pls. let me know what i could use...thank you in advance!

Answer:

ROOFING HAMMER, ROOFING NAILS,SHINGLES,AND TOOL BELT TO PUT NAILS IN. TAKE THE FRAME TO HOME DEPOT AND HAVE THEM PUT THE GLASS IN
sorry to hear about the tornado, but on the other hand if your house is an older house, it gives a prime chance to look and see what type of condition the osb is in, and replace it if need be. you can do this very easy and simply; first go down to lowes, or home depot and look for black paper, this will go down under the shingles, i recommend using thirty lb instead of fifteen, fifteen maybe roll out longer, but it's thinner and not so great, you'll end up using twice as many button tabs on it rather than thirty lb paper. Next you'll need button tabs, if your not sure what to look for, ask the sales clerk, they'll know what im reffering to, tell them you need it for black paper. also, you'll want big headed nails, galvanized 5/8, to one inch long. One last thing you'll want to carry on you; plenty of water or gatoraide. I work outside and on roofs on a daily baisis; this is the most important thing..hope i helped!
