I get where you’re coming from—my place is late 70s, and when we did the roof a few years back, I had the same worries. Ended up doing a full tear-off...
I get where you’re coming from. My place is about the same age, and after a soggy winter a few years back, I noticed some sagging in the attic. Ended ...
