Get on the roof, make the cut, get off the roof. It looked like the first hole did the job.
What do you think?
- Was three holes necessary?
- Would you have used a roof ladder?
- Would you have hung out on the roof that long? longer?

To answer your questions
1)No
2)Probably not (the right answer would be yes). Takes too long. I can get a cut done and be off the roof in a minute.
3)No
At least they cut in the right spot. Those cali guys and their roofs. Sheesh.
I thought all in all, it was pretty good. I would have made one larger hole, but I wasn’t on the roof that day. However, if I knew ahead of time that I was going to make 3 cuts, I would definitely put my first hole downwind so I didn’t have to have the fire blowing my way.
