A Nineties Roof I did

My brother and I did this around '88 I think. We removed the felt and storm shield and went with standard underlay of 1x4 plank and some 1x6 plank on flat areas.

I had occasion to see it again recently.

The shingle roof has been replaced a few times. This is on the shore in Nags Head, N.C, and still going strong. :)

Cool story, Frank. Thanks for posting it.

A diner from NewPort News. According to this article, my dates are really screwed up. I was sure 88-89, but I guess I was wrong. I really don't pay much attention to minutiae like that. I can't remember what I ate last night. I changed the thread title. The shingle roof has been replaced twice though.

That's rather impressive that they'd spend that kind of money on that thing.

Diner?

Mike, it's 100% 20 oz. Revere Copper, Lead Coated. Designation LLC. It'll be there for your great, great grandkids to see if a Cat-5 doesn't cut a channel where it sits some day. Or if the building under it doesn't rot away or catch fire, or something weird happens. :)

So, with old time terne being like 80% lead and 20% tin, are we talking about the same thing by two different names, or is "leaded" copper actually 100% lead?

Flat-Locked Leaded Copper Mike. Sweated seams as opposed to running a bead along the edge. Looks like it did the day we finished. :)

What is it? Locked flat seam terne coat?
