Perfect! I want to thank you Sir for simplifying which in some cases can become a complex process. You have made it easy for me to calculate the square footage of my roof and converting that to the number of squares needed.

Hi Ben, excellent job with the videos. You are a true teacher!

Man thank you after watching you break down every formula I realized on certain roofs I was only doing it half right, thanks for being precise in your explanation of the diagrams. One thing that did confuse me is when you said measuring a hip is base x hight, x1 half and that's your answer. Actually it's base x hight then divide your answer in half. Again thank you for breaking down how to measure the different roofs. My name is Jim Adkins I'm on my wife's you tube page. I work for durst roofing in Youngstown Ohio
