Roofing in rain

I wish I could say this was the thread that kept giving but frankly it's embarrassing for anyone still contributing. Poor old Robson he gave up days ago.

#58, I dont think you know what you are talking about - if you do think that you know what you are talking about then perhaps you would say what felt is for?

The felt provides some protection for the house builder in defective builds. The side benefit is that it may extend roof life for non-defective builds. Felt is fairly fragile and cannot be relied on as the primary water proofing - meaning water should not reach it in most rain scenarios. Persistent water leaking onto the felt indicates a defective roof or an old roof that is clogged by debris or moss.

Felt must be left long over the fascia until your ready to cut it beyond the fascia - even on top of the tray, the felt must discharge any moisture beyond the fascia - thats elementary roofing knowledge.

What your difficulty with the fascia is I dont understand -

you're...that's.....don't ....... elementary punctuation..... Wait until Christmas, you'll see roofers everywhere cutting off long strips of "felt" and making paperchains with it
