Q.-The slope Of my shingle
roof is very gradual, and the
rain seeps into the valley. How
can I remedy this? X. r.
A.-some type of sheet-metal
flashing should be installed. A
noncorrosive metal is preferable,
for it does not need paint or other
finish. However, if the slope Of
the roof is too gradual, shingles
probably should not have been
used and the addition of a COM
plete metal or composition roll
roofing material would be adviS-
able.
Q.-Is it advisable to have

A.-This moisture is probably

increase the temperature of the

prevent condensation.
Q.-HOw deep should build

A.-Chimney footing should be
at least IL inches deep. Test the
