Well, I've put it off long enough, this will be the year for a new roof on the house. Like to do a metal roof, anyone have the experience? I've built barns with metal roofs, but just over rafters & stringers.
Seems to me to do it right, I should probably tear off the shingles, fix any weak spots in the sheathing, put on felt then the metal. Or do I need furring strips anyway?
Or can I just put it on right over the old shingles with furring strips? Google Images shows people doing that. But it seems like the lazy way out. Of course, I'm kind of a lazy guy, so...
How did you do it? Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
