Greetings all,
Been lurking on the list for a few months and learned a great deal. Finally
have a question for you all.
I'll be putting a new roof on our Florida room this weekend and have not been
able to find any instructions on the net on how to deal with the top edge of
the roof. The room comes off the back of the house and, when looking from the
house, the roof pitches ever so slightly from right to left. The highest point
on the roof is on the roght hand side and does not pitch back down or abutt a
wall. The edge of the top course of shingles is basically exposed. I have not
been able to find any information on the net explaining how to deal with this.
I'd rather not use the existing roof as a guide as it was poorly installed by
the guy we bought the house from and from dealing with his attempts at wiring I
think its safe to assume its wrong.
So how does the top edge get finished? I assume I would want a drip edge there
to keep rain from getting under the top course of shingles (going to use 36"
roll shingles). Would this go on top of the top course? I would think so as
that would be certian to keep rain from getting under there. Nail every 5" or
every 2'?
I would appreciate any input greatly. This is the last issue I have to deal
with prior to the house going on the market next week.
Thanks so much!
