I would guess that leaving the old shingles as an under roof that it also gives you more insulation for both hot and cold weather. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-20554294626763470282018-11-10T20:27:02.204-05:002018-11-10T20:27:02.204-05:00Sam, if it wasn't for Dan I wouldn't do th...Sam, if it wasn't for Dan I wouldn't do them either!

Great job at patching in that new wood! I really love the look of metal! Just in time for the turning weather! We have always saved so much money by doing repairs ourselves, just as y' all do.

I only wish our entire roof was metal.<br /><br />Lady Locust, thanks! It's always a great feeling to have to roof snug and secure!<br /><br />Nancy, oh my. That sounds completely unprofessional! We have a few horror stories about our shingle roofer too. Our neighbor had a ridge vent put in only to later discover it didn't work. When he called the roofer, they said, "oh, we didn't know you wanted it to work." !!!<br /><br />Ed, and apparently the same guy did our car port, which explains why it has so much structural damage under the roof!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-36218331816032106922018-11-04T19:09:44.862-05:002018-11-04T19:09:44.862-05:00Nothing like doing a roofing job to bring on the p...Nothing like doing a roofing job to bring on the pressure.

We burned thru 2 attic fans until hubby figured it out! Ripped it off, installed updated cedar vents, and much cooler in the summer, saves $ and new fan still working.

We always tried to get people to go for a 12.5 degree pitch rather than 15 degree, as you could walk up the first one in trainers but not the second! Tin sheeting has so many advantages. Wish planning control would let us use it more on domestic properties round here.
