I have never attempted roofing up to that time. Is there anything I requirement to know before starting? I plan to use a Timberland shingle similar to our house.
Answers: Start off near your 15# felt. Run a row across the bottom of the roof and verbs up the roof. Overlap each row 6 inches. You don't call for to worry more or less caulking or anything. If water get underneath your roofing material, you've get a leak anyway. Just do a honest job near the installation and don't worry something like the underlayment (unless it's damaged or showery or soft). Your first row of shingles will require two layers making sure you correct the seams. Work your means of access up the roof making sure the shingle edges on ajoining rows don't come within 12 " of respectively other (Stagger the seams). The starter row should overhang 1-1/2 inches off the plywood. The sides should overhang indistinguishable (assuming steel facia). When you get to the top, don't use the grazing land shingles for the ridge row. You need to lay down the proper amount of ridge row. This is a thinner shingle that will bend easier than the field shingle. The terrifically last ridge shingle will own two exposed nails that you can caulk if you'd approaching.
Points that need to be cleared up:
1. Your shingles are Timberline, not Timberland
2. You dont obligation 2 squares, you need 3 bundles( 1 square) plus a different bundle for the waste for a total of 4 bundles of enclosed space shingles. See if you can find an open bundle of ridge paraphernalia as you won't need a total bundle.
3. Don't caulk anything except any vents that you install.
4. Ice and Water shield doesnt stop rime dams from forming, it help stop leaks once they do form. Since your not heat your shed, you won't need Ice and Water shield.
5. Your shingles don't own tabs...Four nail per shingle.
Good Luck and do not fall !!
