oh fatmanmysweet, if you only knew! gary was the epitome of perfectionist. nothing, and i mean nothing, inside or outside this place is anything but perfectly level and i haven't come across anything i could undo easily. if it required 2 screws, it always got 4. if it required a little of this or a little of that, it always got extra.

yes jeff, i know it's standard practice to shingle over one layer but since labor won't cost me as much as it would if i hired outside the family, i want to do this the way gary would have done it. don'tchya know, he IS gonna be supervising.
