I know this probably a stupid question, but I'm a single mom who needs
to put a roof on an outdoor shed. Roofers wanted $700. I bought all the
supplies for less than $80.

Reading the roofing books I have an idea of how to do this. And my
18-year-old son is going to help.

But, we went work to put out chalk lines and I need help.

I bought an irwin chalk line set at the hardware store. My first
mistake was cutting the line off the hook, not realizing it needed to
be tied there.

Then, I realized the line has no chalk on it. I do have a blue bottle
of chalk. My son found a sliding lid on the chalk reel. He thinks the
chalk should be squirted into this compartment. It makes sense. But I
was hoping someone could confirm. Also, how much do you put in -- when
do you stop.

Yes, I know, a paranoid, duh, question, but when you have no idea....
