Roofing

The roof decking was 1/2" CDX plywood. Because the rafters were 2x4 instead of 2x6 and were 16" on center we weren't sure if the decking would support my weight. Tiel did most of the roofing.

Felting

The night after we put on the felt we had a freak windstorm which undid most of the work. We replaced it with two layers and extra staples.

More Felt!

Shur-Way has an excellent deal on shingles. They sell cosmetic second architectural asphalt shingles for about $32 a square. They won't take pre-pays. You don't have much choice for color or style. It can take weeks for them to get in. But if you're willing to wait it brings the price down wonderfully.The reveal only looks like it's tabbed. There's actually a solid layer underneath. Extra rain protection is a good thing in the Northwest.
