][en,
We just finished a (paid for) scope of work, spec. and existing condition
report - in that order since that's the way Yale likes it on a mini mansion.
Existing: Asphalt atop slate atop cedar shingles. The exposed sheathing was
fastened mostly to the slate. We bid out and got a rip and new slate and
repaired copper gutter for a price of $54,000 they re-bid it and got the job
they opted for: asphalt, lapped valleys, GS ice and water no valley flashing
and no gutters and no chimney work, no flashing or crickets and they are
saving 20K - Go Yale! Boola Boola.
Bean counters watch the top side,
Leland
