| A house that old was probably built before plywood came on the scene,Look in the attic and see if it is skip sheeting (1 x 6) , if it is ,you will get a few spinners( not teeny boppers , but screws that don't grab anything).That will take all the pride and satisfaction out of a lot of hard work.Also, the older houses I've seen were not built to code,IE usually built with minimum lumber.I have also taken off more metal roofs than have put on.I know of three people killed by roof avalanches.They are not the panacea everyone thinks they are. See other posts concerning metal roof replacement and problems. | |
