The secondary barrier can be obtained simply by increasing the nailing pattern of the underlayment. Go to www.myfloridacode.com and click on the Fl Retrofit Summary to review the requirements.

I see new roofs and re roofs that do not comply with the secondary barrier, is this still required or are the inspectors not doing their jobs by passing them?

	The Building Department may accept an affidavit (usually required to be
	backed up with photographs of the roof decking) from the roofing
	contractor that the deck is attached according to the standard. 
	
	
	
	You need to suggest it to the local building official or your
	commissioner.

	Subject: [Florida Code Talk] Reroof Inspections
	
	
	
	I hear constant complaints from contractors about the new reroof
	inspection requirements, and it's hard not to understand their
	complaints. Many jurisdictions are requiring that a contractor
	completely strip a roof and renail and wait for the inspector.
	Logically, it's hard to strip a roof and renail and have it inspected in
	one day since the inspector might be coming early in the morning. So,
	the contractor typically starts on one day and then has to wait until
	the next day to get the inspection. To me it seems like a lawsuit
	waiting to happen. I spoke to a contractor about this yesterday and he
	stated that he went to a seminar put on by his insurance company and he
	asked about this very scenario. The insurance rep assured him that if he
	was denied the abiltity to cover the roof by the Building Department
	that his company would certainly be very aggressive in pursuing legal
	action against the local Building Department for any damages to the
	house. 
	
	>From my perspective the whole thing doesn't make any sense. I'm not sure
	why it isn't a standard that all Building Departments require an in
	progress inspection for this type of inspection. Wasn't the whole reason
	for this new code to prevent water damage to the interior of houses? It
	seems that this lack of cooperation between contractors and building
	departments is creating a scenario where water damage is possible. I've
	checked the code book myself, and there is nothing that states that
	clearly describes the scope of this required inspection, so it is
	possible that building departments could show some understanding and
	allow roofing contractors some liberty on this matter. 
	
	Anyway, that's my soap box speach for the day. You are welcome to chime
	in and provide your perspective, especially if you work for a building
	department that has this policy of wanting a contractor to strip a roof
	and wait. 
	Thanks, 
	Ace
