No, but that's something else I have considered; but not for a DIY application. I would be terrified of using a roofer's torch on my old house

Of course make sure your sheathing is sound and un-rotted. Mine is tight as a drum.
Because the soffits weren't vented for 15+ years, I'm assuming I'll have rotten boards to replace. From the attic, you can see spots that had been wet for a very, very long time... especially above the bathroom. I'm planning on putting down A LOT of plywood.
