Zoe,

I helped put the roof on 0579 again and don't remember any tar paper. We put the tar (actually a roofing cement Bill found) down and rolled the linen (roof canvas) into it and then smoothed it out. Hopefully Bill can chime in and add his take as he took many notes. It seems to me that the glue would have caused trouble if tar paper down. I have some video of it somewhere of us doing the work. I will have to play it again and see.
