Default Re: Finally started on my Texas pole barn!

Nice to see that you went with 30lb felt. I did a job for a client last year who said they had 7 years experience as roofing contractors in Houston. When I had the roof decked in OSB, they took over. First, they used 15 pound paper and told me it's just as good for new construction. Then they bought the cheap, three tab shingles and said they didn't have the money for the better shingles. It's frustrating to see my work finished off so cheaply. Then I had to correct him on how he was nailing them, and he cut the shingles after nailing them down and through the paper. I had him take them off and put fresh paper down. It's a crap job that I had to hide when posting pics of it on my website.

What realy kills me is they spent $500 on new patio furniture, $300 on a new barbeque and a grand on a new stove so it would match the fridge. All money that should have been used on the roof in my opinion, but enough of my rantings. LOL

I'm just happy to see you doing it so nicely and using good materials.
