Installing Metal Roof on Cape Cod Style House | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 7/13/2009	I have a Cape Cod style house where the majority of the roof rafters have sheathing and asphalt shingles on the outside and drywall on the inside with about 8" of insulation between the sheathing and the drywall. If I were to install a vertical panel metal roof over the existing asphalt shingles, what is the best approach to avoid condensation on the underside of the metal roofing material?
