Was it like a BIG tractor or just a little one... :lol: :lol:
 
I've never shingled a round building. Do you have to taper the ends of every shingle?
 

how much area is a square??? We're getting ready to do 1400 sq ft on the house, 1300 on the workshop, and 800 on a stall. Stall just gets steel panels on top of the roll roofing that is there now, prolly gonna fur (?) it so there is no moisture/rust, workshop gets asbestos panels removed and steel in their place, and the house gets the clay shingles replaced on half and the other half gets new rafters and new roof... Got a gungho future SIL that is a roofer, in love, and full of energy..... Him and a coworker need vacation money and the timing was perfect....
 
A "square" is 100 square feet, so you have 35 square of roof to cover. There are 27 3 foot wide shingles in a bundle, so 3 bundles in a square. Now you need to adjust to your standards.

A square is about the size of a small tractor...
