I have a question about a project I started and has turned into a logistical disaster.
Was planning on replacing my shingles. Two days to tear them off and put titanium paper down then 2 days to put the shingles on. Ran into big trouble. Seems all the boards are bad. All of them. 24 square. They are 3/8 inch plywood that appear to be fried. The glue is totally fried and they just peel apart and are very gummy. A ridge vent was later cut into the boards, I assume when the shingles were put on in 1998.
My question is this. Could those boards have gone bad with a roof vent and lots of vented soffit in 14 years? The person I bought the home from a year ago stated they replaced the roof in the sellers disclosures in 1998. Are they lying? I think so. It seems to me these are the original boards that they later cut the vent into, you can see the circular saw marks in the joists at the peak, and not new boards.
Could those boards have gone that bad in 14 years under new shingles with tar paper and ice & weather guard on them and a ride vent and soffit? You can peel the boards right apart and they are as spongy as a trampoline if you don't go right through them.
