It's been too many years since I've done one. The tedious tearoff went well - on a 17 x 11 roof DS and I pulled out 2 lbs of nails -- many 3' sections had them "1" apart -- no, I didn't install those 3-4 layers of roof cement and whatever-- I think the last layer was felt and, yes, it was leaking! It was all broom clean when a sudden storm necessitated the day's end...
Thank goodness for a brief reprieve but I can't walk away now. I'm a bit stumped. Simple shed with maybe 20 degree pitch. Plan is to replace bad wood/trim, flash edges, install drip edge on drain side (gutter is overkill), felt (from lowest edge to highest point) and button up in same direction. Am I proceeding correctly? Any caveats? Hints? Do I roll over flashed edges (my father did this instead of flashing) or cut straight at sides? How to secure that top course section? I searched for a simple "how to guide" to no avail.
Help! DS, father and brother think I know what I'm doing; I would love to keep them among my admirers. :haha:
