Uhhhh........not to derail this, but I have to call B.S. here. From high school until I started making knives, I was a framer exclusively. I was a foreman of several crews along the way and I've been on a lot of roofs and known a lot of roofers, PROS that had footing like mountain goats.

In all that time, I have NEVER seen ANYONE even shingle a 12/12 roof without roof jacks and toe boards, let alone anyone walk on plywood or osb. Then to throw the dust in there, oh man.....are you sure you aren't superman and were really hovering over the roof?

Even the surest footed guys aren't going to walk a 6 pitch roof with sawdust on it. C'mon C-Craft, who are you trying to fool?

I hope this post was taken in jest, note all the smileys. But I do have a hard time believing you could walk a 12/12 with sawdust on it.
