Konrad Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 For cripe's sake, they stacked the shingle starter course seams directly underneath the top shingle seam. You can see the roof decking in between them. [:-banghead] Download Attachment: DCP_0094.JPG 71.82 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Yep, That's a sure sign that it's time for that fellow to make his quarterly trip to the proctologist to get his head pulled out of his anus. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Sure looks like exterior grade plywood to me. What is the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Brian and Mike, You guys are missing the point here. Recently there has been a lot of hype regarding ultra violet lights installed in air handlers in order to prevent mold growth. Could this roofer be years ahead of himself in that allowing the roof sheathing to be exposed to the UV rays of the sunlight will prevent mold growth on the roof sheathing? Just kidding. Konrad, Doesn't the building code and manufacturers recommendations require a 15 or 30# dry-in under the shingles? If they do then you shouldn't be able to see the roof sheathing no matter how the starter course and first row of shingles was incorrectly installed.

Damn Norm, That's brilliant. You've opened up a whole new avenue of creative soft-soaping report writing! That's why you gotta hang-out with the best! [] Doesn't the building code and manufacturers recommendations require a 15 or 30# dry-in under the shingles?

Renron Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Brian's Right! Let's not dwell on the negative, is that a drip edge I see? Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted April 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 That's the gutter apron and inside of the gutter in the foreground. There is felt paper, but it's more dramatic to say "I can see the roof sheathing!". (I didn't express it this way, just here on the bulletin board to see everyone get antz in their pantz. [:-basketball] ) Felt paper will break down quite nicely with UV exposure, first turning grey, then disintegrating in a year or three.
