[RE-wrenches] Cedar Shake roofs

[Ken Schaal]

My experience here in Virginia goes back to the last century- -- ouch!
Thermal panels mounted with space under. Squirrels chewed a big hole all
the way thru the roof into the attic !
So many other issues affecting life span in addition to walking on them.
Quality of shingle, are they installed to be able to dry, age to date....??
Do you really need the job??
Is it worth it?????
