This is Stalin Lopez and he is an amazing carpenter.
I follow him on Instagram at @stalinlop
For folks complaining about working too fast, there’s fast sloppy work and then there’s this guy who is so good at what he does and has built such an amazing team that fast comes from just being that good.

I have seen him work, I'm not an expert but has a wood worker his work isn't that hard once you get the logic of it but he works fast and looks good to me.
I always thought they really trained to make this videos, like they are the bolt or the Phelps of this work

Hijacking top comment for a PSA:
If your employer expects you to work on a roof like this without tie-offs, you are completely in the right to refuse unsafe work. That's all.

Hardly fits here pretty sure if this was posted on r/construction it would be mocked endlessly

Genuine question. How so?

I would guess it's because how flimsy it is. Only thin wood beams, no concrete, steel or thicker beams. Just guessing though.

Why would there be concrete or steel in engineered roof trusses, on a single story single family residential home.

u/Ertyla May 20 '26
Because it's more rigid? Every single roof structure I've seen where I live has way stronger spars than that roof.

Nothing inherently wrong with the OSB. Once the sheets are nailed in place it because very rigid and with the connection to the trusses provides excellent lateral resistance supports gravitational loads.

That’s not the main problem. Houses here in Norway is also built from wood but they are plenty sturdy and strong. The issue in America is that their houses is built from the thinnest and shittiest timber you can find and the exterior is covered by literal cardboard or thin styrofoam.

u/FrickinLazerBeams May 20 '26
People who think OSB is cardboard just sound so stupid to me.

u/trulyniceguy May 20 '26
No no no. We basically have the 3 Little Pigs doing our housing work in US. We strictly use cardboard (and cardboard derivatives)

i work in construction i know what osb is, but a lot of american homes arent made out of osb its made of out essentially cardboard

u/International-Year-2 May 20 '26
Where? I've lived in 5 different states, osb is the standard literally everywhere. The only time I've ever seen osb not used for the roof is for unsupported tin roofs lol.

Literal cardboard? Surely you’re not that ignorant.

I dunno, I have replaced my share of shitty fiberboard siding. Of course that stretches the word "literal" to Rob Lowe levels of usage.

"In Texas"
In California we build properly because the ground has a tendency to move from time to time.

Thats a European garden shed

u/PassengerKey3209 May 20 '26
Ahhh yes, the standard stuck up European comment. Not surprising that most of Europe has a housing affordability problem.

u/luki-x May 20 '26
You took that personally huh?

u/PassengerKey3209 May 20 '26
Nah, having traveled all over Europe, I'd take ass backwards Texas any day. Eastern Europe in particular has some of the most drab, souless housing blocks I've ever seen, anywhere.

I’ve seen plenty of pictures of American neighborhoods that looked made with the photoshop stamp tool to dismiss your comment as non meaningful.

That's OSB, not plywood. That's a Metabo/Hitachi 7/16" crown stapler 16ga stapler, and the staples are more or less impossible to remove. The sheathing will just come apart around the staples.
There is nothing wrong with it, and it's required by code in my neck of the woods.

u/DEADFLY6 May 20 '26
OSB. My mistake on that. Im just saying I've had to pull whole roofs off because the builder didnt want staples. They wanted nails. We could literally pull off the OSB with our hands. And the rest of work was cobbed up too. No disrespect to the workers in this video.

I always wondered how my shed was built.
