[MassHistPres] Help with cedar shingle roof

[Karen C. Gray]

My impression of how a wood shingle roof was done in the " olden times" does not hold any water with our local authorities.  The building in question has a failing wood shingle roof  (and  is never heated) so in replacement, putting the shingles on a layer of roofer's felt over plywood seems to me like it would decrease the longevity of the roof.  What experience have people had?  Am I out of my mind?
