I realize this is pretty off topic but have always been impressed the with wide variety of knowledge possessed by the inhabitants hereabouts. I'm using some (really inexpensive closeout) 6 tab shingles to cover a storage shed I'm building. Each tab is rounded giving a scalloped appearance and they look great on the shed. But I can't figure out what to do about covering the ridge. Since each tab in only 6 inches wide, I can't use it like a standard 3 tab shingle, that is, cut into thirds, turned sideways and overlapped along the peak. Other than buying some matching 3 tab shingles or going with some kind of ridge vent system does anyone have any suggestions on how to use these 6 tabbers to cover the ridge? Any help or url referrals appreciated. I would'nt be opposed to a bit of whimsy on the shed since it may actually become a playhouse later. It's an 8 by 10 saltbox design. Best regards to all on this fine day. Mike in Arkansas
