That's cool Brian, I feel the same.

Side note: I didn't say the roof was installed correctly, or anything about the 7/8" nail.

As long as you don't use a starter course, you don't need the paper either.

Saves time and time is money, so the roofer was actually going above and beyond on behalf of his client.

He just needs to remember to change his business name annually

P.S. Is it just me or did he also save his client money by using extra short nails too. Interesting location for a nail to boot.

Really...all they need is felt paper... and maybe a sponge at the bottom!
