Installing New Roof


I do general contracting stuff but not roofing so this is a little out of my league.

I climbed up on my roof the other day and have some SERIOUS issues that need to be taken care of before winter...yes I know time is running out.

I just purchased some architectural shingles from my local HD, I'd post the link but I can't so the sku is: 777990

I've been doing some reading up on how to do my valleys and I'm getting mixed messages/information from the internet.

My plan was to replace any wood necessary, lay down some ice/water barrier and shingle over it.

But I'm reading on open, cut, weave valleys. From what I've seen weaving is the worst and is really only meant for 3 tab anyways.

I'm curious as to what you pros would do for it? Any pictures, video illustrations is the best form for me to learn. I've seen a bunch of pictures on the net but they are tiny and it's hard to see what they are doing.

Thanks!
