Ready for roof underlayment

All of the plywood roof sheathing is in place and ready for the roof underlayment.  Typically, they would just use tar paper for the underlayment, but because most of our roof surfaces are less than 4:12 pitch a special underlayment has to be used on the entire surface of the roof.  It is also called ice and water shield.

This has the added benefit that it can be installed right now while we wait for other steps to complete before the actual shingles are installed and yet the underlayment by itself protects against rain.

So, tomorrow the roof underlayment will be installed and we will finally have a leakproof roof!
