" Well -- all that work going on under the roof on top of the roof Joe Pilkington and his men from residential roofing here in Providence have been busy re roofing our house and before we talk about the product we're using let's look at the neighboring house shall we still see the surviving. -- Many of these houses had fancy slate -- in our case here Ron and don's house had an asphalt shingle roof that's been removed and is now being replaced with what was up until recently called a rubber slate it's actually TPO which is thermal polymer -- the same stuff that they make car bumpers out of and it's a very versatile product they had to go through a long process of removing all the shingles that were there and stripping the roof down. Including taking off the finial. But now let's talk with us Joe about this product. It's this authentic roof 2000 product as it's called is actually made by Crowe building products up in Ontario Canada but of course it's available down here how do you like working with a delicate -- Let's listen like yeah we'll signal -- And cut it real easy yeah and weighs a heck of a lot less than real slate or and I suppose there's also -- you have to make repairs. Well you can lift it up easy and we hear -- appointments and went on. You can take -- yes and bound to be easy but I want to see how it lays -- going to help you bring some up -- Fifteenth. Two at a time. Let's go start -- these."

" While you've already got the bulk of the roof pretty much covered hijacked -- ago. But why haven't you cut but the ridge there. You overlapping them still. Because -- kind of cutting that back for a ridge vent and before we determined with a vigorously go. If -- cut that I understand now has most of the flashing been replaced with copper on the tile roof that's all new flashing here yet. And it's it's all new flashing in the valley and step flashing -- every single. In the valleys okay with the flashing now one of the great advantages of this. Product this authentic 2000. Is that is got a fifty year warranty. And a life expectancy they -- of a hundred years. Also it's very very tolerant of off ultraviolet rays so it is not going to fade. And I'm told that you can work -- in almost any conditions whether it's really really hot or whether it's really really cold. It it remains very stable product so that you don't have to worry about it splitting. Problem this is an a roofers nightmare isn't it Joe a Victorian roof with. Turrets angles crickets just dividing -- a lot of cutting on it yet and has everything on it that you won an Award for roof off right lot of cutting. Lot of and harmonic cast deep. So what we. What are you doing over here to get started. We'll set don't -- is putting a starter course on in just like with the regular shingle gets out of the -- of course. -- stagger it back six inches in you put off. And you cut it with a knife yep couldn't do that with slate. Not he makes his marks. Because it once in the front with a -- spends little while. It costs about. It it fell asleep he got the Senate found caught with a soft right. What kind of nails are you going to be using. We're using inch and -- half roofing nails. Bring durable and doesn't use for asphalt shingles galvanized galvanized yes. And he's nailing in the hole that's marked at six inches. Because this roof is exposed at six and -- the right to six inches to the weather. -- that each one of these components but it looks to me like there. Pre drilled. And calibrated. -- are engaged. We just put the positioning on a mock."

" Data looks terrific and because of the that. Crease in the back of the materials you can bend it easily so that you can just make it cap without having to quarter anything. Now that's a pretty complicated job Joe what's the what's the cost of this roof how many squares of roof front on the plus three fronts we're just 35. These trees that's all the material list. Around 300 bucks a square. The kind of falls between. -- fiberglass shingle and a wood shake somewhere in between there yes well the total cost on this roof approximate. A long 24000 -- obviously we're thousand dollar roof yes well to weren't worth it when you've got a beautiful historic home like this you know. Nice job thanks a lot thank you for. Meanwhile the whirlpool spot for the exercise room has arrived. The only way to get adopted the third floor attic is to use a crane to hoist it up fifty feet. And delicately and carefully bring it into the room through an opening made for a new window. John desire -- who's running this job is guiding it in onto a temporary ramp made out of two sheets of four by eight Bible. It has been built just for this operation because after all this is a delicate and expensive piece of equipment. And finally the spot is carefully placed in its permanent location inside the turret area."
