The big issue with a shingle is they have to have some time and warmth to stick and the roof needs to go on fairly fast. If you put it on cold or go to slow the shingles will have trouble sealing down on the glue surface. If you go slow and dust gets on the glue it will have trouble sticking. I had a few of the heavy architectural shingles flapping in the wind when the house was last reshingled. Went up with a caulking gun loaded with roofing tar and put a dab under the ones I knew flapping and gently tugged at others to make sure they were sticking. Took about 4 tries but eventually I got them all.
The basic three tab shingles that are out now are pretty much junk. Even the white ones fall apart from heat. That is what is on the rental house now and they look horrible. I remember as a kid we added onto our house in 1973. The house was put up in 1952 and had the basic 3 tab white shingles. My dad thought the original roof (already 21 years old) was fine and only shingled the addition. My brother bought the place and he reshingled the entire house in 2005 or 2006. The original basic white 3 tab shingles lasted 50 years and were still decent. The ones put on in 1973 were 30+ years old and also still looked decent but he collected on hail insurance and the company said they would pay once but never again.
I put the basic white three tab shingles on a chicken coop 10 years ago and those things look horrible. Just the chickens walking on the roof and plenty of ventilation and those are down to the tar paper in spots.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
