That’s been my experience too, though I learned it the hard way. I used to think more vents = better, so I added a couple extra roof vents myself (try...
Skipped primer once on a shed because I was trying to save a buck... regretted it when the membrane started peeling at the seams after the first big r...
I get where you’re coming from. When we put a metal roof on our place about five years ago, the lightning thing was the first question my wife had. Sh...
