Hi,
I am building my new garage. It has a gable roof with a valley attaching to the existing roof. My question is when I frame the valley, and add the support for the rafters onto the main roof. Can I just place the support wood onto the roof without removing the shingles? Or should I remove them?

Thanks for your time.

I live in Florida, where 95 degrees outside isn’t uncommon.

How do I lower the temp inside my simple six foot tall, six foot wide and seven foot long wooden plank shed ( with tin roof ) as so that it would be suitable for a shelter for a couple indoor cats tossed outside due to family allergies?

There is no door so I imagined having a screened door and constructing window holes with screens would create a bit of a draft and allow air to circulate.

The floor is constructed of square outdoor garden slabs ’tiles’ together. Unfortunately these are not sheer concrete, which would be a bit cooler on feet.

Any ideas besides -constant- fresh water, the door, screens and taking them out of there for fresh air every moment I can?

Or-
Would it be more economic, make greater sense & be better for them just to build a whole new cattery that’s mostly screen/chicken wire with supports, a roof and maybe one side attached to an exterior wall of the house?

I appreciate your kind responses.
