Missing shingle question
Posted: Mon Dec 06, 2010 9:13 pm
On a recent trip to the roof to inspect my roofjack as part of a furnace diagnostic, I noticed that a shingle was missing from the marriage line. To my surprise, I found that there was no paper/plastic/felt underneath the missing shingle -- just a 1" x 6" opening that went all the way down to the floor. To make matters worse, the plywood underneath appears weather-worn. I have no idea how long that shingle has been missing, and although I live in fairly dry northern California, we have had an unusually rainy autumn this year.
What I need to know is whether I need to put any kind of liner underneath the new shingle. It looks like there may have been something there before, but it's hard to tell. Also, is there anything else I should do or know before nailing a new shingle on?
Thanks in advance!
