Here are can go the a few ideas to make the job easier. Trolley for Hauling Materials: A stack of shingles can weigh up to 80 which requires real muscle to pounds .haul topside via a ladder. A better way is to make a simple trolley that spans the rails of an aluminum ladder. Use two-stor- y low-slop- e wheels, casters or even skateboard wheels as shown to ride the ladder rails. Extend the side down over the rail so the trolley will not slide off. Build from V (13mm) or inch (19mm) scrap plywood to the general measurements indicated to fit your ladder. Adhesive Pouring Ladle: Flat roofs or roofs.with a pitch of less than two (51mm) in 12 inches (305mm) require roll roofing. One problem with this type and then spread it out evenly. This can be a messy job but not if you make a d simple ladle from an empty coffee can. Use a length of 1 x (13 x 76mm) wood for a handle and cut the end so the coffee can will rest flat on the bottom of the adhesive pail. Nad two roofing nails into the end as indicated and taper the handle slightly for a comfortable grip.
