sounds like the shingles were cut back too far. There is nothing
wrong with his idea of putting the drip edge on top, but don't try to
tell me that his way is correct. More like a band aid until it's time
for a new roof.

Thanks for the feedback. The roof is only ten years old, so I hope to
get a lot of life out of it yet. If it doesn't work, I'm sure I'll be
back asking more questions.
