The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

around here.
He's either gettng BS or is testing out a BS idea. I
can't beleive many people have said that! Asphalt et
al shingles WILL NOT be guanranteed to keep water out
without felt.

The original roof on my house (Central Ohio, 1973) had no felt; after
32 years, four plywood panels had to be replaced with the
new roof. I don't know if that's a lot or a little. The roof itself
held up pretty well. The new roof has 15# felt.

Bottom line is to go with what the manufacturers say. I have never
seen a bundle of shingles that didn't say right on it to use felt along
with specific instructions on how the felt is to be applied.
