A man in a blue plaid shirt and cap works on a roof, kneeling and installing shingles on a residential home in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1957. The footage, shot on 8mm film, captures him from behind as he carefully places each shingle. In a separate scene, the same man carries a bundle of shingles up a wooden ladder, with a house and a USG Insulating Board sign visible in the background. The warm, slightly faded colors and grainy texture reflect authentic vintage home movie quality from the late 1950s.
