Codes were brought up in another post.
I am not an expert on such.
My understanding is that there are national codes, state codes, and even local codes.
Over a decade ago or longer.
This is how I recall the story.
Spec. House.
Builder constructed a home to sell. Did all the correct permits.
This was about the time that the roof shingle companies manufactured a roof shingle that stated on instructions - that tar/felt paper is not required.
So the roof was put on per manufacturers information.
Except the local building inspector stated in "our" town we require felt/tar paper under all shingles. New roof had to be removed and redone.
Could be an urban myth story. But this was told to me by another builder.
