Speaking of roofwalks - my measurements say that 2x6 was the common size board that was used. I have also read that roofwalk boards were unpainted - because painted wood can be slick when wet and a safety hazard. Given the quality of paints of the day, and the abuse from the elements (especially sun), I doubt paint on a roofwalk would have lasted more than a couple years anyway. heck, even modern paint on a wooden deck will show considerable wear after 5 years. After reading this, I started to paint my wooden roofwalks a wood color.
