[RE-wrenches] Cedar Shake roofs

[Benn Kilburn]

QuickMount flashings for shake 👍
Be careful when sliding the flashing in and make sure you get it under the underlay paper. If you’re not careful you will hit the paper and bunch it up and it it a bugger to flatten out the paper if that happens. 
The uneven surface is something you need to deal with. High spots on some shakes will require aggressive sanding (disc) and/or a chisel. 
ANY moisture will make the roof VERY slippery, just a heads up.
