<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Just got back from our project. Yes
the the shingles interlock, so its hard to slide the flashing up
under. I used 1/16" cut off wheel in the grinder, to cut the
lines for the Soladeck. It came out pretty good, but we had a bit
of trouble with the interlock grove underneath causing the
flashing to ride up a little high. <br>

<div>I have all the confidence I can cut the roof to flash (3

the process for removing a shingle? I'm guessing the shingles

<div>How is this roof type for flashing? Do you just
cut it with a tin snips? My project only entails
replacing an unflashed conduit penetration with a
Soladeck, so I'm hoping it won't be too bad.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Metal shingles<br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
I looked at a site today and the
roofing was a brand of metal shingle.
This was just a quick drive by and
check out the site so I don't have
access to the brand or method of
attachment.<br>
<br>
It still got me thinking, what are
people doing for attachments to
roofing like this? 6/12 pitch, and
from the photos the client sent me,
the structure is 2"X6" truss running
N-S, with 1"x4" strapping every 4'
running E-W along with 5/8" OSB on top
of the strapping. The trusses look to
be on 4' centers (just judging by the
photo).<br>
<br>
The only thing I can think of is EJOT
type fasteners through the shingle
into the truss. The shingles would
crush a little bit, but the OSB would
support it pretty well. Otherwise
removing the shingles where the feet
would go and then.....<br>
<br>
As always thanks for all the help.<br>
<br>
Jesse<br>
