I know this may be a bit advanced for these forums, but I'm hoping...

When doing a roof job as follows:

Timberline Ultra Shingle.
Cobra Snow Country Ridge Vent.
Timbertex Ridge Cap Shingle.

A) What size nails, and how many must or should be used on each ridge cap shingle to meet GAF's Golden Pledge requirements?
How should the End caps be secured? How many nails, etc.

B) When the ice shield (Weather Watch) is being rolled out, as it is rolled out and done so in a manner that isn't straight, is it acceptable to unstick the crooked portion, cut the material, overlap it, and then continue rolling it out? Is this acceptable wth in GAF's Golden Pledge parameters? Is this something that should be worried about or is it a non-issue.

C) When a small section of roof decking, approximately 4"x24" is removed (to patch a hole left by an abandoned plumbing vent) and replaced is the following acceptable within GAF's Golden Pledge parameters (or your comments in general): Replace it with a piece of exterior grade plywood that is not as thick as the original decking and then build up to the original thickness of the decking with what may have been either Shingle-Mate or Weather Watch (unsure, but believe most likely Shingle-Mate). Or can this cause leakage problems down the road.

Thank you very very much.

Pete
