That is about minimum IMO. What does the manufacturer spec call for? I
think most have a minimum of about 40. If it can be knocked out in a day or
two of warmer sunny weather, you'd be OK, but it it is staying cold where
you are, best to wait for spring.

30-40% of what? The boiling point of hydrogen?

What he said. I'd only do it in weather that cold if I HAD to, and only
if it was sunny clear weather. If it is leaking in one area, I'd be
inclined to sacrifice a couple cheap Harbor Freight tarps, and just tarp
that part of the roof till spring. Yes, it is definitely hillbilly, but
it works.

i would NOT replace a roof in cold weater.

the sealing stips on the shingles need heat to adhere, thats stick

by the time spring and warn weather comes dust will be on those
strips, and they will never stick. that happened to a my old landlord,
he had to replace the roof twice in 4 years. the shinle manufacturer
refused to warranty it. those shingles never laid flat. hot dry weater
is a must for roof replacement

You used the percent sign after 30-40. I guess it was a joke.
Here's a hint.
Hold down the ALT key, and using the numeric keypad, type 0186 and you
will get , the degree sign.

I need to make a cheat sheet of some of the more used symbols. How
about an ō? I cheated and cut an pasted that one.

Temperature is F or C or whichever, no use of degree symbol, anyway...

Not sure where the problem is but these characters came back to me
totally different. The one I asked for is a simple letter o with a flat
line above it. As used in dictionary to show the o in "tone" is a long
o. Not sure if this will work, but instead of my o with a line above
it, I see my post shows this symbol ō instead.

In Word, and in the Open Office.org Writer, there is a symbol table
that coers all of the afore-mentioned symbols.

Using the keypad?
Num Lock on?
Is you app using "Latin-1 Western European"
(the column next to Part 1, Part 2, etc) at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859

What char came back? May have to compare it to the sets in part 2-16.

May be way off but that's how I would approach it.
