Hello Don.

There are a few details regarding the installation of sloped glazing that I have not been able to understand with certainty, by looking at your pics and diagrams. Instead of bombarding you with questions at the seminar this past Saturday, I thought I'd take a good look at the cd and then email you a few questions, if necessary, and you could email me when you have time. I have a few;

1. Do you nail the roll roofing at any point?

2. Was the choice of roll roofing color based upon availability or color preference?

3. I'm not certain of the extent of caulking(silicone) on the edges of the roll roofing. Do you caulk(silicone) all the way around, or just at the bottom of the slope?

4. What do you use for screen?

5. Are the strips of roll roofing flush with the edge of the butyl or does the roll roofing extend a little beyond the butyl?

6. I'm on the Brow of the North Mountain in Aylesford and the southerly winds can be quite strong at certain times of the year. Is this method of installing roll roofing able to handle high winds?

7. And finally, I can't vent the glazing up through an adjacent wall to the roof. I have an overhang about 8" up from the top of the glazing that extends out about 12". Due to design, venting into that roof structure is not an option. Do you have any thoughts on a good way to exhaust the glazing at the point meeting the overhang?

Thanks for any help you have time to give, Don. I really appreciate it.
