Rolling out Ice and Water, and Synthetic Felt
Over view of the process of rolling out the Ice and Water (along the eves at the bottom of the roof's run), and also beginning to roll out the synthetic felt (white fabric).
Pinning down Ice and Water
The underside of the Ice and Water has a sticky membrane that adheres directly to the deck. Ice and Water is stapled and nailed on top of the direct stick to the deck.
Final step in rolling out synthetic felt
Making the last run of underlayment, other than the layer that goes over the ridge.
Measuring for chalk line
Properly spaced runs of shingles is essential to maintaining the manufactures' warranty.
Snapping chalk line
Straight lines are essential to creating a water tight seal.
