Coping nailer
A wheeled conveyance straddles and squeezes a parapet or similar vertical wall from both the inside and outside vertical faces. Side wheels may be adjusted to be closer together or farther apart to accommodate the thickness of the wall being straddled. The conveyance traverses the parapet along the top edge, and at least one fastener driver suspended from the carriage faces one or both of the inside and outside vertical faces at some preferably adjustable distance below the top edge of the parapet. While the conveyance traverses the parapet, an actuator selectively and repeatedly actuates the fastener driver(s). Various sensors and controls are provided that permit the speed, fastener spacing, and travel distance to be adjusted. Position awareness and visual, auditory, and radio communications may optionally be employed.
BUCKET HOLDER
A bucket holder is presented for securing a bucket upon a sloped surface, such as a roof. The bucket holder comprises a base member and at least two legs extended outward and below the primary plane of base member to retain the base member stable upon the sloped surface. Next, at least two retaining arms at least one locking arm having a tab extended outward and above the base member. The at least one locking arm is adjoined to the base member. In exemplary operation, the bucket holder is place upon the sloped surface and the attachment member adjoins to the sloped surface. Next, the bucket is placed upon the base member and secured by the at least one locking arm or tab over a top surface of the bucket.

Coating Applicator
An applicator and method of use is disclosed for applying coatings and paints to various surfaces. As shown, the sprayer may have an undercarriage frame that supports three-wheels. All three wheels may run parallel with the first wheels and second wheels attached to the sprayer frame via an undercarriage with the third wheel positioned behind and between both the first and second wheels on a separate arm or frame. The width of the sprayer booms may be adjusted. The undercarriage may be folded entirely or only a portion therein. The arm of the third wheel may be folded or telescope, as required by a particular application. A handle, which may be adjustable, may be positioned between the sprayer frame and the undercarriage. Use of the applicator according to the method discussed herein reduces operator fall exposure and increases application efficiency.

FASCIA BOARD HANGING TOOL
Fascia hanging tools of the present disclosure are configured to assist an installer when hanging a fascia board, i.e., attaching the fascia board to a rafter tail of a building's roof framing. The fascia hanging tool is configured to be temporarily secured to a portion of a building's roof framing and to independently hold and support a fascia board proximate the portion of the building's roof framing. By holding the fascia board for the installer, fascia hanging tools of the present disclosure are configured to facilitate hanging of fascia boards by a single person, i.e., without the assistance of a second person, making the process safer and more cost effective. Fascia hanging tools of the present disclosure may be adjustable to accommodate different sizes of fascia boards and different rafter pitches of the building's roof framing.

Roofing walking stick and method of use
A roofing walking stick for providing stability during navigation on the roof of a structure, the system providing a roofing walking stick having of a handle, elongated shaft, one or more joint couplings, and a base; wherein the one or more joint couplings are configured to allow the elongated shaft to rotatably articulate relative to the base; wherein the base provides grip when in contact with the roof.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DRYING ROOFS
Roof drying processes and associated systems. A representative process includes drawing moisture-laden air from within the internal structure of a roof via a vacuum blower, a extraction insert and an extraction manifold, and removing moisture from the moisture-laden air via a dehumidifier. The dry air can be directed back into the roof through an injection insert and an injection manifold.
