A little pointing up , a metal cap , and another coat of sh** and that beauty is good for another 50 years !!!
Well, I'd taken this one just for you...
Rez,
That ain't slate and not my style of flashing either !
What are ya sayin' there bro ??
heh, just ribbing ya with a quality shot.
Guy out here was asking me about a roofing job on his place. Asphalt shingle nailed directly over slate.
Had to tell him I'm not set up for major roofing jobs.
I once worked inside a place that had two layers of asphalt shingles nailed over slate.
And the lady with the bees had the re-roof on her 1910 placed started by a meth head who laid GracieI&W right over cedar shakes and started laying the fiberglass archies on there 'til she caught him.
Wild stuff going on out there every day.

Thanks for resizing the Penobscot pictures last week. I don't know what got into my Irfanview there - they have always come in around 200 kb before.
rez you need to get out of the house more! :)
Okay, I gotta ask... How the heck do you nail anything over slate???
I'm imagining#16 spikes and slates shattered like, uhhhh... something that really shatters.
