I once worked with a backhoe operator that could open a pop can with the bucket.

Looks like they set the hydraulic extension arm on the same pitch as the roof then just took it nice and easy. There is no limit to the ingenuity of the human mind and with practice most folks can do amazing things.

Great operator, there.

Saves time, but I also hope that they have good G/L insurance.

Very nice. I'll bet they tore up a lot of roof structures before they got this technique perfectly developed.

One mistake with the gradually inclined pitch and that shovel is going right through the roof structure.
