Here they are finishing the ridge vent. They are using Owens Corning Ventsure Rigid Strip Ridge Vent.

Vent Boot ready to install on left

These are the vents for the plumbing. The thing that is put around it to keep the water out is a vent boot. The shingles and felt are under the boot, around the pipe. Then the boot is glued down with asphalt roof cement or something similar.
I couldn’t see the shingles before, since they were delivered directly to the roof. (I didn’t climb up there, although I was tempted when I saw they left the ladder up when they went to lunch.)
