" And now, we're joining Kevin Benjer, a roofing contractor. Hi Kevin!"

" Hi Bob!"

" How are you?"

" Good. How are you too?"

" Pretty well. I caught you just in time. You haven't got to much done yet right?"

" Nope! Just got started."

" What are the chalk lines for?"

" Okay, this holds on a line to keep everything nice and straight across the roof. "

" Yeah."

" We have this very little one."

" Why do you need a vertical chalk line on the end of the roof here?"

" Well, we started off with the run across."

" Yeah."

" We keep much to this line. That will give us a sort of free-edge overhang off the [unk]."

" Let's do it. Let's put it in place and watch. This is actually, what do you call this for?"

" This called as a runner."

" The runner course?"

" Yeah."

" And you take a regular."

" regular shingle and you go right on the line."

" Which is allowing it to overlap here?"

" gives us about a create overhang."

" Uhuh!"

" This is more on protection."

" And on the bottom?"

" We come down about a quarter [unk] again,"

" Uhuh!"

" and we nail that right on."

" And we're just shooting in galvanized roofing nails right?"

" Right."

" Super. Okay, then what?"

" Although, we have start a course."

" Ah, that's not a full one?"

" Right, we have a little bit cut off, but we don't have joint over joint."

" It doesn't gonna go this way?"

" No, we start this on up-side-down so that through these slots on the remaining courses of [unk]----"

" I get you."

" just like on the rest of the roof. "

" Okay, and you cut it down to 2/3?"

" Right."

" So that you'll have a staggered joints?"

" Right."

" Good."

" Make sure it flush out there,"

" Yup."

" flush here,"

" Yeah."

" And about the same [unk]."

" Right."

" We get one real close to the outside, and a couple more."

" Okay, and this is a first course that we'll actually see visible."

" Right. Again, keep everything flushed. One on the outside, then one right over each [unk],"

" Uh huh!"

" right into the [unk] area."

" Good. Now, it's interesting that we're going right on---- keep on going, let me slow you down---- that we're going right on over the plywood."

" Uhuh!"

" There's a lot of people would wonder, don't you need to put down some sort of a paper backing or sandpaper?"

" Well, you [unk] over these shingles with a wood roof. "

" Yeah."

" A red cedar roof you might want to."

" Right."

" But these shingles gives you such a good coverage that you really don't need that."

" And they've of course got the adhesive all on the edge there, so they're soft ceiling."

" Once you get a warm day,"

" Yeah."

" You usually actually feel right through each other----"

" Right."

" that they won't messed up like that."

" Yeah, good."

" So, that was the first shingle in our [unk]."

" Yeah,"

" We go to second one. We bring the bottom of this shingle right down on the top of the rain spot."

" Right."

" Okay."

" Put on an even right there."

" Yup, then move it here. This is the last piece of our starter book, and we go back to another showcase."

" It's our starter book."

" Right. We called this segment here a book."

" Yeah."

" And we pulled down to this one."

" Uhuh! And you've gone from a full shingle----"

" Right."

" and you taken off a section and staggered them off. And that just to sure that if we start going sideways, all your joints they can be staggered."

" Right."

" Good. Alright, begin some more."

" okay."

" You're all the way up to the ridge huh?"

" Yeah."

" Good."

" Getting ready to put the coat right on."

" That's what I want to take a look at. You got it up here?"

" Yeah, sure I do."

" Good. Now, this is the whole secret. This, working together with the metal dripped that we put at the bottom will ensure that there's lot of air circulation coming in by convection from the bottom all the way through the base where the insulation is and coming out to stop here because these are almost like a honeycomb. The air can just come right back out. Here's we gotta say."

" Okay. What we're gonna do to start this off is we're gonna put our tape on the center of that rafter so we can find the 16-inch layout, so we nail this, and we're going right into the rafters below."

" And that's it. You just needs a penny-galvanized nail to hold it out in place, and then you do a traditional capture of the way you would on any ridge, on any roof, you take shingles that you've got in the third, and then you flush off the ends of them like this, and then assuming it's warm weather, you can bend them and they won't tear or break in half."
