I love how the narrator (assuming senior Jenkins) questions the installer (Jenkins junior) as though this is the first valley detail they’ve worked through. 😊💪🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️ That’s golden character on display. And is way more valuable than even those heavy slates!
2:37 I don’t suppose you remember the thickness of the slates please, I know you mentioned they were heavies, I had a quick look on google, which means they could be 1/2”+. In the UK our thickest slates are 9mm (almost 6/16” approx) if I’m not mistaken. Please and thank you
Interesting! I've done and seen a lot of valley details....but this is a new one for me! We get a lot of snow where I am....so wondering how it fairs with freeze/thaw issues!
Why dont you use bulldog roofing cement of the valley slate seeing that you nailed high .if they are cemented at the top into the roof when they do break off from the nail holes being so high up there is no meat on that slate ..when they break they will slide out ...
Not the way to create a canoe valley. On this slope, valley shingles should be 4' longer than feild shingles and shouldered to create a true round valley. Looks ok but not an artful, classical execution.

I mean this isn't a common detail. Doubt most slate roofers have ever installed this.

1/2 to 3/4 inch (13-19mm).

That’s a tricky job ‘ no to many would take on that ‘ looks really old ‘ great job well done
It is known as a swept valley in Scotland.
It would have been nice to see it being installed.
Yes I’d like to have seen the lay boards underneath as well
Ive done one slate roof 😐nice
I reviewed your book, Joe. Listen to me.

If you glue the slates together, they're almost impossible to repair if one should break somehow.

Slates not shingles
Good looking Craftsmanship.
