The shingles are the Dow Corning Supreme (std 3 tab/ 25yr shingle), got them a LOWE'S. We rented a shovel ($7-day or $14-week). Father in-law offered to rent a nail gun for us, and neighbor has a compressor. Lugging bundles of shingles [b]SUCKS[/b], they are heavy. LOWE'S set the pallet in the drive for me, they not do "roof delivery".
The roof is a 4-12, I think that is what brother in-law said, not really steep, but keeps you aware of surroundings. I do have to replace 4 pieces of wood so far, got the plain piece in tonight. Stupid roof is all 3/8 plywood, if I could reall afford it and had all kinds of time and agreeable weather (got sprinkled on 2 times today), have very large plastic sheeting to cover the roof. I would replace all w/ 1/2, but that is not going to happen.
All the rot is where the 4 pieces all corner togher with the large "house" for the water heater vent (6.5" pipe), suspect condensation got to the wood fronm the temp cycles of the pipe?? Walking on 3/8 wood is nit a good feeling either, flexes a lot.
