So true. The top of my garage is not level - actually it's out almost an inch over 16 feet, but my roof line where the shingles will end is dead level. So i have been putzing around with making the 1st row parallel to the garage, then taking an 8th or so out of each row after that so I will get to level slowly before I hit the soffits. Then I had accidentally offset my strapping spacing vs my shingle exposure (rookie maneuver). So by the time I got all of that straightened out i had wasted most of a day. I wish I could bill my wife by the hour for this!
Here's a question I have for you experienced in this application - what do you do when you when you get to the top row right under the soffit? If I nail like all the other rows, the nail heads will show since it is the last row. Do you use finishing nails? I can't seem to find any instructions for this particular question. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
