So you end up just saving the decking and the shingles, and if the shingles are old..well, you see where this is going. OSB roof decking is cheap, unless it is plywood.


If you are putting a lift in, have you checked for concrete thickness? I know some of those pads are pretty thin.
Garage was built along with the house in 2008, but I don't know when they were last redone. I'll get them checked by someone who knows what the hell they're doing to see if they need to be changed.

That's a good point about the concrete thickness, I haven't checked it yet. I'll have to get some of this stuff lined up for the spring and see where we're at. If the garage shingles have a few more years left in them, that aligns with my timeline so it might work out perfect. Unless the shingles are brand new and the concrete pad is too thin, in which case FML.
