Vlog 3: ROOF FRAMING TO SHINGLING!
What happens here
After the rafters are installed, sheets of plywood (or OSB) are laid over them to form the roof deck. The sheets are typically pre-marked with lines indicating the rafter locations (e.g., 16 inches on center) to guide nailing. These sheets are securely fastened to the rafters with nails, creating a solid surface for the roofing materials.
Goal: Create a solid roof deck by installing plywood sheathing.
