tarpaper
Asphalt-soaked building sheets
Tarpaper is a heavy paper impregnated with tar, used as a moisture barrier in building construction.
It typically goes beneath shingles on roofs or behind siding on walls to keep water from penetrating the structure.
A tarpaper shack is a crude dwelling, often associated with poverty, where tarpaper serves as both the exterior wall covering and the only protection from the elements.
