Unlike instructional youtube videos that give people the confidence to apply a completely foreign roofing system to a customers house after a 5 minute demonstration.... These articles actually might teach you something. I mean teach the entrepreneurs something. Once you become a real roofer youll already know everything.

except how to attach a pdf or word doc..

wait one please

ok so thats two unrelated topics that are pretty important to roofing. "the physics of foil"
and the overhead and profit pdf (which specifies the state of florida, but Ive found it to apply across the board regardless of state)

Radiant barrier sheathing works pretty good down where you are.

Apparently between my wife and I we already know everything.

I know everything except that I'm a ****ing idiot, and she knows that so between us we do know everything.

If roofing was strictly a lifestyle and not a trade then I would be a real roofer.

Renegade you dont count because you have more than 200 posts. The consensus is after 200 posts you actually know something. I read it on another thread so it has to be true.

ya know, I really couldn't vouch for that. When I do residential I try to do the wood shake / comp overlays, and we deck right over the 1x4s so I don't put the radiant barrier on. I know that I have radiant barrier on my house, and it was installed over the 1x4s and its hotter than hell fire in my attic compared to what it used to be. IMO a thicker decking works just as well if not better.

My parents opted for the spray foam on the underside of their decking and their attic feels air conditioned no matter what time of day or year.

Im just tryin to make my contribution man. this was my tithe to the forum given all the jackassin I do around here. Its like my yearly helpful post.:thumbsup:

On a sunny day, you should be able to get a 10 degree drop in attic temp, but the shingles are a bigger factor. Using aluminized mylar.kraft paper applied under the rafters, I've had a drop from 140 to 110 degrees on a roof with a ridge vent, but the radiant barrier decking won't do that well.

LOL, six years active and less than 600 posts. Some of us don't need to speak much. Our mere presence is enough.

Hey I'm not startin fights anymore!! I've been on my best behavior since that whole "incident" where I was cast out of the garden and branded with the scarlet letter.

Haven't you noticed I've been wearing my big girl pants lately? I hardly even curse anymore. I haven't said anything about mauleman, and I was even nice to a new guy. I'm really going all out here!

I was just sayin... That's what I thought we had determimed was the cut off.

She turned it around. And even if she hadn't, he would've got what he deserves.
