Pre-drill holes \u2013 prevent wood from splitting by pre-drilling before inserting screws.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tool-maintenance\">Tool maintenance\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Clean after use: Wipe tools down to remove sawdust, debris, or moisture.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Sharpen or replace bits\/blades: Dull tools are dangerous and inefficient.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Store properly: Keep tools in a dry place, preferably in cases or on wall hooks, to avoid rust and damage.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-roofing\">Roofing\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check for rotten wood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inspect the decking underneath shingles for rot or soft spots. Replace any damaged sheathing before re-roofing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flashing (metal around chimneys, vents, and valleys) must be installed carefully to prevent leaks\u2014use roofing cement as backup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tools-to-have-on-hand\">Tools to have on hand\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Roofing nailer or hammer;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Utility knife (with plenty of blades);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chalk line;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pry bar (for tear-off);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Measuring tape;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Caulking gun (for roofing cement) and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tin snips (for cutting flashing).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-safety-first\">Safety first\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Wear proper PPE\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Welding helmet: A dark lens (auto-darkening helmets are great) to protect your eyes from bright light and UV radiation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protective gloves: Leather or heat-resistant gloves to avoid burns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flame-resistant clothing: Wear thick, flame-resistant jackets or long sleeves. Avoid synthetic fabrics as they can catch fire easily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Welding boots: Boots with steel toes will protect your feet from falling metal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Ventilation is key\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Always work in a well-ventilated area. Welding produces harmful fumes that can lead to serious health issues. Use fume extractors or fans to improve air circulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Avoid eye damage\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Never look directly at the welding arc without a helmet, as it can cause arc eye (painful inflammation of the cornea).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure others in the vicinity wear eye protection too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
