I never knew that felt paper placed on the roof before the shingles had such nice lines. What a perfect place to leave a message. Just in case you were wondering, I leave him love notes, too.
This reminded me of something my grandfather told me when I was a child. He said that back in the 1950's, he had to re-shingle the big red barn. He had recently read an interesting article in US News and World Report (recently defunct) about a new invention called plastic, which they predicted would change the way we live. He wrapped the magazine up in tar paper and placed it under the shingles. He said that the next time someone re-roofed the barn, they could find that magazine and see how true it was!
Sadly, I think that barn, which his father built back in the early 1920's, will probably never be re-roofed. Perhaps we can find it when it falls down.
