I recently purchased a tiny house (30x12). The walls are currently insulated and electric has been run, otherwise empty shell. It currently has a shingle roof which I plan to switch to metal within the next year or so. The roof pitch is kind of barn style where it has an initially steep pitch and then a really low pitch to the center of the roof.
Questions: I am trying to decide if I can use rigid foam directly under the roof decking, 4 inches thick? Can I put the metal roofing directly over the shingles?
Thanks.

You can put the metal right over the shingles with an appropriate slip layer to protect the backside of the metal.
