DIY Cedar Shingle Roof

Well, the weather was nice recently and my nephew E asked me to help him with an assignment: replace the roof on the shed at his house. I can bring my tools? We get to work with cedar? An outdoor project, in nice weather, with good company? Game on!

Here's E standing at the starting rung, ready to tear the roof off the sucka! Which we did, with our fingertips for the most part, occasionally resorting to small prybars for some nails.

There was a single layer of roofing paper under the 23 year-old shingles, and it was MOSTLY intact, but that just means the accumulated water only poured through the roof in a few places.

Kind of like skip sheathing, there wasn't a solid sheet of material for the roof. We cleaned it up completely. This part of the shed was still in good condition, so we started moving forward here, having completed our demolition work.

Most of the first layer of roofing paper is on.
