I need to finish this half-complete job and was wondering if there are any issues in felting over the wet roof boards as we had some rain overnight? Things look clear for the rest of the day I think.
Thanks in advance

I would wait till the end of the day, and if it seems ok complete the job.

At least it's a wooden roof, might have been more of a problem if it was OSB.

I wouldn't say it's a no-no if you're up against a deadline.

Do you have a hot air gun which could dry out the moisture?, although letting it dry naturally would, I think, be ideal.

The worst that can happen is some trapped moisture may cause damp or rot several years down the line when the shed will need re-felting anyway, and repairs, if any are needed, can be done with wood filler.
