Not So Pro 3

[JugHead27]

From what I was told by a local contractor, is that architectural shingles hide the roofs imperfections a lot better, thus making the roof look nicer overall. Nothing wrong with 3 tab, they just show where the plywood doesn’t match at the seams, etc.. Most shingles in our area are architectural also..

So that is what the metal roofing I’m describing is called architectural shingles?

No, architectural shingles are shingles with 4-5 tabs, and the tabs are not cut square, but rather they are angled. So the illusion from all the different angles makes everything look more even.

Here it’s the sheet metal roofing now, often don’t even tear off old shingles just mail strapping down and screw the metal down. But if any thing else is to be used it’s still 3 tab here

The metal roofs are nice and they last a lifetime but they are expensive and I still think asphalt shingles look nicer. For what a metal roof costs, you can probably pay for 2 shingle roofs which would last around 60 years.

Good Morning / Evening All. Today we as a nation take time to reflect on our sins of the past and the damage done to our first peoples. Never again can these atrocities be repeated.

Last night I was awake till about 11. After roofing on that flattish pitch, my knee was hurting like hell. But....once I was out, I slept well.

The problem I have with metal roofing is the screws. Every screw hole is a potential leak should the rubber washer fail. On a house, standing seam is the only metal roof I'd recommend.

Morning, especially youse with shingles...

37 on the way to 49, cloudy and drizzly

9c / 54f headed to 24c/75f. One last nice day before the rains come in, 7 days straight in the forecast.

Day 8 we’re hosting the family for Thanksgiving and a yard party. Yard is going to be one hell of a mess

I'm trying to decide if I should remove the old shingles from the house where I'm re-roofing, or just trim off the edges and roof over them.

A deck party might be a better idea after that much rain.

I should have said that I'm trying to talk myself out of a tear off....but I know I can't. LOL

We didn't have a single day here this summer that was hot enough for the adhesive to warm up and the shingles to sort themselves out

Still rather lumpy looking and I am worried about heading into winter that way

Don't know jack s#it about roofing except how to write a check
