Ok folks, answer this one. Most asphalt roofing manufacturers request a felt paper underlayment under their shingles. What does the felt paper do? I mean besides void the warranty if you do not use the felt paper. Does it buffer the shingles from the wood to keep the wood from sucking the life out of the shingles? If this is the case, does 30lb. felt work better than 15 lb. felt? Does the cheap stuff they sell in the big Box stores for the self doer's void the shingle warranty? Lets hear some good solid reasons for the tar paper.
