scribbled this interesting note:


I've got jacks. Is it important to nail them over rafters?

Very important.

Are the
nails put under shingle tabs?

Yes. That way they are water proof.

What size nails?

We use 16d Commons.

When I get a chance to reshingle the other side of those ridges, I'll
have to pull the nails in the Dow Corning Rigid Roll ridge vent and I
suppose renail in the same holes. Will the decking hold the nails
securely the second time?

Not really. Use screws instead.
