So you have a shed, a playhouse, or even a small guesthouse that needs shingling. Br running through the steps below you should be able to create a beautiful, shingled roof.
There are a few items that everybody would be wise to keep around the house just in case something needs a quick fix. These tools are cheap and easily kept in a junk drawer or even in a file cabinet somewhere in the office. Stock up on these essential items and you'll be ready for almost any sticky situation:
Duct Tape This is the one item that everybody knows about. Duct tape is perfect for its versatility and durability. Use it when you need to mend broken objects that could use a strong adhesive tape. NASA and the U.S. Military both utilize duct tape for quick fixes.
Step 2 - Install the Drip Edge While this may not be necessary it will help the roof last longer and perform better in inclement weather. You will want to lay the drip edge along the front and back of the roof. This drip edge is laid down flush with edge of the roof over top the roofing felt. Nail down the drip edge with your one inch roofing nails. Run the drip edge up the side of the roof and when you get to the peak you will want to cut the bottom phalange of the drip edge and bend it over peak of the roof. When you lay down another piece of drip edge make sure that it overlaps the first by about three inches. Snip off the excess drip edge at the corner.
Step 2 Lock in the Pipe Slide the larger arm of the bender to a 90 degree angle and bring the holding clip back down clipping it into place. Pull the forming handle back to 180 degrees so the clip falls into position at a 90 degree angle with the forming handle.
They quickly realized that the product had immense house-hold applicability and began producing it for the public. Spray it on any mechanism that may need lubricant. It typically costs between five and eight dollars a can.
Now just continue on with the following rows of shingles making sure the shingles are staggered to prevent leaking. Place the first shingle flush with the drip edge, the lower edge is placed flush to the rain slots of the row underneath. Continue to place the shingles making sure they are laid tight to each other. When you get to the bend of the roof shingles should extend 3-4 inches above the bend with the rain slot being above the bend. Nail the shingles over the bend making sure that there is five inches or less from the bend to the rain slot.
Basic Tool Kit For your average household repair, you will need a basic toolkit. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a hammer, some screwdrivers, a wrench or two and some pliers. Most problems can be corrected with these simple tools. This set shouldn't cost you more than thirty to fifty bucks.
With your duct tape, WD-40, Flex Seal and some basic tools, you have all you need to take care of almost any problem around the house or office. A small investment in these few items will be well worth it in the long run.
