Jerry,

I read "outside edge" as possibly meaning "eave", if that's the case it seem to me that we need to know for sure that what's been identified as "two layers of shingles" (as seen at the eave) are not the normal starter and first course.

If "outside edge" means "rake", then the "two layers of shingles" is a different issue.

IMO, this uncertainty is a good example of why we should try to use specific terminology to unambiguously identify systems and components when communicating with each other and the trades.
