Totally get what you’re saying about hidden fasteners on low pitch. I’ve only helped out on a couple installs, but even just watching the process, it’...
That makes a lot of sense. I’ve noticed in my uncle’s old place, the insulation was basically nonexistent, and even after clearing out the vents, he s...
