Hit 200 square feet of shingles solo last Thursday and barely broke a sweat

200 square feet isn't even that much though right? I mean that's like a small shed roof or something, not exactly a full day's work. Maybe it's just me but that doesn't seem worth bragging about.

You're saying "not even that much" but I think you're missing the point... 200 square feet of roofing is actually a decent amount of work when you factor in all the prep and cleanup. It's not just laying shingles, you gotta tear off the old stuff, haul it away, make sure the underlayment is good, and then cut everything to fit. Plus if it's a steep pitch or you're working alone, that 200 feet feels a lot bigger when you're carrying bundles up a ladder. I've seen guys brag about way smaller jobs honestly.
