I have a leaking old cabin. Some of the Interior horizontal boards that lay across the main ceiling logs are rotten and leaking; however, the idea of removing all of these and taking off the existing metal roof is not what I want - or can afford. How Can I best have a #2 Metal Roof installed over the existing roof ? I’m thinking horizontal 3/4 slats screwed into the existing roof (over the log beams) then screwing down the #2 metal roof. Is that feasible? I only hope to keep this cabin about 10 years tops.
