You are correct, right on ! Both of our sons worked their way through college and grad school by roofing. They can NOT believe how they roof here, the materials they use, the methods, the nail strips with fewer nails to the strip, and that inspections are NOT done at each step. They watched a roof go on across the street two days before Christmas on a house that was probably 2300, 2400 Sq. ft. and could not believe the speed and no inspection had to be done after the underlay !
