Working out on Vinalhaven lining wooden gutters on this house. All the rest of the house is slate except for this shed.
3 tabs worn out for quite a while — slots burned right thru and leaking badly this morning so Dan the H O and I used some scrap copper to buy some time until he can strip and Grace it.
Salvage slates there to be laid down the road a little.
Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

We were going to be in the path of Kyle with 4 to 6 inches of rain predicted so this was a short term measure to buy a few weeks until he has time to strip and prep it for slate.
It wasn't meant to be long lived just a quick way to keep most of the rain out while it was raining.

Get a couple 5 gallon cans of roof in a bucket. And some brooms or mops. Getcha another couple years.
Those up on the 'green building' movement, use the green, or brown tarps, of course...
