It`ll kill your home,and you`ll hardly eva see it comming !!
If you live in snow country,...It is essential to protect (with ice and water barrier) the decking under asphalt roofing for the first three feet. I do six !! but three can do fine. Areas to cover are , flanges after the first course is under, all four or more sides of chimnies and skylights. entire lenght of eves, up all rakes, centered in ALL vallies, and if you CARE FOR YOUR HOME....up all joinning walls a minimum of two feet. Wall siding can suck water sideways along the angle cut as far back as the siding and painted butts allow, this can and will drain behind the stepflashing. NOT GOOD !! Exsisting siding will cost alot to ajust and or re-place, but the cost of sill or framming damage will hurt !!
Calculated ventilation, properly installed is the other, just as important half !!
