Default Quick question on roof repair.

Since it's a small roof, the cost and time for shingling are not an
issue. But I don't want to rip up any more old shingles.

It can be done, but it won't be easy or likely pretty. When you have
removed enough to fix what is broken, try to slip #30 felt under the
old (easier if the old is #30), tack it down, start from the bottom as
if doing a new roof, work up to the old, slipping under between the
felt and shingles, you may have to gently wonder-bar a few nails out of
the old or cut them off with side cutters, you will have to drive nails
from the top to lock down the final course, and tar the heads (hint:
tree pruning spray)
