OK so this is just fifteen pound felt bad for the way you normally would go over the whole roof fighting fear real need one layer of it and it. Hi guys do what kind of nails is he using to put this -- well you're going to write -- wild man Elton might be over here and -- their way out and aluminum. They're an aluminum -- yes and that's.

Replacing the Roof: Sheathing to Asphalt Shingles and Skylight Installation

Bob flashed back to the installation of the new roof. First the crew removed the old layers of roofing material from the barn. Next they added a layer of Louisiana Pacific oriented strand board (OSB) over the original sheathing. It's manufactured with thin wafers of wood, resins and wax compressed under intense heat. When used as roof sheathing it's extremely resistant to moisture damage. Then they stapled down a layer of felt paper and marked with chalk lines to lay out the courses of asphalt shingles. Since these are double layer shingles, they're fastened along the pre-marked white line to assure that both layers are attached to the roof. Frames for the Velux VSE skylights were installed. These vented skylights will be operated with a hand-held remote. Copper step flashing is added to the side of the skylights and the asphalt roof shingles are fastened up to it.
