Default Problem With Laying Shingles

Dunno where you are from but I have never seen a pro lay with verticle
line up. Appearance of the diagonal is far, far more attractive than
straight up the roof. I worked for roofers in both Tx and Wa. Of
course you could argue they do it that way because it is easier but it
still comes down to 'the pros don't do it'.

Well, your (or my) argument that they do it because it's easier
certainly holds water. I have no idea why the folks that taught me to
roof taught me the vertical slot method, maybe it was slightly easier
to temp over at the end of the day if rain was threatening, or
whatever. I just hope the OP has enough info to deal with his little
7/8ths of an inch problem! Tom
