[Greenbuilding] Roofers

[Benjamin Pratt]

I saw crew on my block lay down sleepers and put another layer of sheathing
on top of them, sloping at the bottom to meet the existing gutters and
roofline. Simple roof, took them all of a few hours.  They'd obviously done
it before! Putting foam down in between would've been easy. Still the air
gap would've help a lot, especially in the summer.
