Slate
Roof Installation Hint
1) Felt the board
roof deck with 30 lb felt, then chalk a line marking the
top of each course of slate.

2) Attach your cant strip, nail your starter row, and begin
slating.

3) Periodically leave a slate out and install a roof
jack.

4) Proceed in this manner until you have staged the roof with
adequate roof scaffolding.

5) When done, install a slate
hook where ever
a slate was left out. Hook a slate in place. The slate
can always be removed again later should the unlikely need
for future roof scaffolding present itself.
