Good Evening Friends,

when I removed 160 year old shingles from my roof there was no gap between them.
Remember they don't build them like they used to. Thank Christ for that :rolleyes:
I would probably leave about 3mm (1/8") to allow for swelling if/when they get rained on.
Also tolet the water [Rain] drain.Quote:

I guess they'd be quite dry and not very thick, so I'd use four at a time, about five minutes apart.
A typical roof fo timber shingles used in this manner would keep us in firewood for about four years.

Wots fire ????? :confused:
Good Evening Friends,
Running late due to unforeseen problems.
The answer for todays quiz is a 1/4" to 3/8" spacing between wood shingles to allow for expansion.
Thank you for your support.
Respectfully, :)
