Question:

We really enjoy your show and we need some expert advice! Is it too late to re-shingle the roof? I'm still seeing roofers in the neighbourhood even on cold mornings. What should the outside temperature be so that the shingles will adhere to each other? My husband is sure that he still has time and that Indian Summer is holding on.

Answer:

If you must re-shingle, go ahead but the shingles are going to take about a month of sun beating on them to seal and I don't think Indian Summer is going to last unbroken until mid-December.
