I agree.

But it helps if you do a neat job of the patching, because after a
couple of years, the shingle will try to buckle around the patches.

Thus, for best long term results, you need to follow the line of the
original patch.

Please post the part about the ladder falling. I need a laugh.

To fix, get roofing cement in a caulking tube. Put a gob or two under
each loose tab and push it down. Do this when it's warm and not
windy. Of course replace all missing or torn tabs too.

Came home early and saw that heavy winds head on to the edge of the roof
shingles were lifting them a few inches along one tier.

In a few other areas, the shingles were starting to lift a 1/2 inch or so.

I went up and used shingle glue and some weight plates to secure down the
worst tier. (The ladder blew down, buts that another story and I don't want
to get you laffing).

Anyway, when the winds calm, whats the best maintenance steps? Nailing
through the top shingle layer is a no-no, correct? BTW, we commonly get
substantial winds around here.
