Personally we use the Chainsaw with a carbide tipped chain. Works great even through nails. And we never have a had a problem with speed of use. That is as long as someone that knows what they are doing is on the saw. But a lot of us have worked in the woods for years either for firewood or for the logging industry. So most of us know how to handle a saw.

CE saw? Can you explain what a CE saw is? I hate acronyms because they mean different things everywhere you go. Thanks.<br />

The high pressure pumps out about 85 gallons a minute at around 900psi so not much water is used.<br />

We just had one last week 5 layers of shingles and we had to take the saw to them, using water to try to blow them off seems like a waste of water to me.

Roof construction for houses is very simple. Mostly just the wooden (sometimes steel) framework overlaid with either tiles (concrete or ceramic) or steel sheeting (corrugated or panel). Insulation is commonly in the form of batts placed between the rafters. Except for the mountain regions which have very small populations, very few areas in Australia get any snow at all. Climate ranges from tropical to temperate.<br />

Dry is no good, I hope you get either snow or rain! Dry makes for a bad fire…

Dry is no good, I hope you get either snow or rain! Dry makes for a bad fire season. We know about dry. I'm losing track, not sure whether this is year twelve of the drought or thirteen.<br />

My use of 'Gopher?' was using your nickname as an interrogative, not questioning the name. Good nickname. A fairly common animal nickname here is 'Wombat' - when you learn that the wombat is an animal that <i>eats roots and leaves</i> it makes sense... That is if you know what 'root' means in Aussie slang. Same as 'bonk' in British slang. It has been my nickname since…tag:my.firefighternation.com,2009-02-27:889755:Comment:35158362009-02-27T04:57:56.368ZGordon "Gopher" Runerhttps://my.firefighternation.com/profile/GordonRuner
It has been my nickname since I first got into the fire service. Something about a play on my last name. This was during the overhaul. Most of the time we dont do roof ventilation but sometimes. So what kind of roof construction do you have there? We are supposed to get snow but so far this year all we have had is a dusting. It is starting to get really dry here because of it.<br />
