I'm about to do a workshop roof.
There's a section that overhangs the door about a foot or two. How can I align the shingles on this part so when I start doing the main roof area, the seams are all properly spaced?
The roof looks like this when viewed perpendicular to roof face.

Center the shingles on the little roof. Do the same for the main roof. You might have to do a lot more cutting though.

dry fit your ridge vent and pull measurements off it.

Start from the leftmost corner of the main roof. Then backtrack the last 2 feet. Be careful prying the shingles when tucking the last 2 feet in.

snap a chalk line on the felt
follow the chalk line when laying shingles

with a tape measure, 3in1's are 36" long, so measure from either corner of main roof, mark the 3' increments that are above the overhang. snap lines on those marks. your shingles will line up with or half-lap the chalk lines
