I never thought of doing so at all back when I lived in Oregon where I got rain @ 178 days of the year and here in Idaho I get rain @ 72 days a year, ,and I have looked the roof over and the roof is in pretty good shape ,,no curls , no tabs missing ,, and I have lived here under this roof since Dec of 2012 and no leaks .,,
No tornados , no Hurricanes ,,not even any big hail storms ,,just small hail and not much wind storms over 30 mph .. so I was thinking that another layer would keep the cold out in the winter and heat out in the summer..

I knew there was some chance of a bad roof ,, I have 80% of my house vaulted ceilings . but.. I will go ahead and get the old off as I find a roofer and hire it done ,,the roofer will probably not warranty the job..
