I seriously do not understand how you guys say you get 22 square ripped off inside a day.
I just did some the slickest, fastest demo I've ever seen. Crew of 4 (2 on shovels, 2 hauling junk to the dumpster). We demo'd 30 square in about 2 days. And that's a roof that's stapled down.
Are you guys not factoring in clean up, or leaving out the time you spend pullling/setting nails?
You probably havent worked on a crew that required that you pack up two bundles at a time either.
If you can do 2 bundles safely, more power to you and your insane 160lbs hucking buddies.
My ladder isn't rated for that much weight. Neither is my back. I'm 23 years old, and I've been doing this for 10 years. There is no safe way for me to throw 160 pounds on my shoulder and go up a ladder. Anyone who "requires" someone to put themselves at risk like that can enjoy the site of my truck backing off their jobsite.

Rule of thumb walkable roof, two guys in can tear off and hand nail 8 sq in 8 hours:thumbsup:
