And lo and behold, there ARE lathe strips under there. (We had originally thought, based on the poor condition of the shakes, that they were nailed tight to the roof sheathing). The lathe is both a blessing and a curse - theoretically, our main roof should last longer with the airspace below it, but it also means that when we go to replace it, we will need to replywood the whole roof or redo all the soffit trim since if we remove the lathe to get to the solid surface, the edge of the roof won't line up with the fascia. Ugh.

For the copper roof over the family room, John is just going to install it right over the lathe strips.
