Challenge Whenever you have exposed wood on the exterior of your home, you risk that wood rotting quickly. Once that wood rots, the problems don't stop there. Solution It's important to take care of your exterior to protect your interior. Make sure you properly seal up any exposed wood.

Challenge This project had the obstacle of removing damaged sheathing from under the shingles. Having good solid roof sheathing is important. It helps to bear the weight not only of the shingles, but the snow and ice. Sheathing helps redristubute weight more evenly.
