Building A Roof Cricket - This Part Is SUPER Important!
What happens here
Cut and remove the existing shingles and underlayment along the marked chalk line to expose the roof decking beneath. Then, precisely cut a piece of plywood to fit the newly exposed area, extending the roof deck to form the base of the cricket. Secure this plywood extension using nails and a nail gun. This step is critical for providing a solid and continuous surface for the cricket structure.
