I 2nd this. We put ice shield in the valleys, and also on the 1st course if the homeowner requests it, but we always put paper on top of it before shingles. The next roofer will bless your children and grandchildren for that! We also use synthetic paper now. 10square to a roll instead of 4. Doesnt tear, easier to walk on. It actually tightens up over night instead of wrinkles in the dew like tar paper did. It's more than tar paper but job cost wise it's not really adding a large percentage. We use Atlas brand Summit180. Supposed to be good for 180 days uncovered in the weather. But I recently tried the lower grade summit60 and it was fine too. Our roofs are usually only open less than a day, but it's nice to know if shingles ever blow off theres something good underneath for a bit.
You learn a lot about problem areas when tearing off old roofs. Here in Maryland, when we find rotten wood at the bottom of the roof, the previous shingles had always been started flush with the drip edge. The water rolls around the shingles and wicks up into the plywood. We overhang the bottom shingle course 1 1/4". 95% of the houses we are roofing are on their 2nd or 3rd roof now, no ice shield before and no problems. Different climates may be different, but that's here. We always make sure the attic is getting airflow too, to get rid of any attic condensation.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
