The weather and work schedule have finally aligned so that I can start to reshingle my house.
I think I can do it alright with a hammer but I'm wondering how much of a difference a nailer would make? Putting about 23 squares down. Have a week to do it but would really like to be done sooner. I'm thinking that 1 square an hour with a hammer should be a pretty relaxed pace and only take a few days. Actually, I think I should be able to go faster provided there aren't any big issues but even at 1 square an hour it should be doable in a few days. That would be 60 shingles and 240 nails per hour.
How much difference does a good nailer make? I already have a compressor that would work. I'm thinking that setting the compressor up, dealing with air lines, loading the nailer, etc. would subtract from the time savings of using a nailer since I'm doing it myself without a helper. But, I don't have a reference for this thought.
