@thisoldhouse what model # of siding nailer is that the N66C/N75C?
Please explain how the word matrix is a valid term for your "breathing material" and why , if it's stated purpose is to allow moisture to escape, it's not used between courses. Is there no moisture there??
How does the common every day joe that is doing just a small home grown project get some of that mesh. I am doing a tiny area and had to buy 15 pounds of felt. I would really like to get my hands on that stuff
If they're sitting on "a bed of air", haven't you now re-introduced a higher probability of the shingles being lifted off by harsh winds?
I did my garage many years ago. Same as what was done here. I only used the Ice and Water shield around the perimeter then tar paper away from the edges. Also there is the debate whether it’s better to hand nail rather than those skimpy automatic nail heads. Some nail guns you are limited to the type of nails you can use. Hot dipped or stainless?
I love the staging I have like that would ever happen on a real job site
How come u didn't at first explain which way to lay the shingle with the direction of the grain.
That should've been the first if not second direction.
Well it's either cedar breath or asphalt paper that's 12 to 18 inches in width per row of shingles.
But the direction of the grain and which way the shingles cup should've been explained first a foremost which way u lay the grain towards the roof that matter most. Or siding which ever application but he did not explain that u have to look at the grain of each shingle to lay that inwards and to explain why to do so. So as to lay the grain inwards so it won't cut out but cup inwards and also didn't lay a wider shingle and explain how to nail a wider shingle as to apposed a skinnier and how to nail fa wider one. Inch stage on the seam minimum nail an eighth inch in on skinnier shingles but nailing on a wider shingle should've been explained as well as which way to lay the grain as to account for the natural cupping of the wood.
