We removed a small metal free standing fireplace from our dining room. The ceiling in this room is approx. 30 feet high. The vent that goes through the ceiling is still in place. The outer roof is cedar shakes. We have extra's to cover the hole, but do we need to patch with a board and some type of roofing paper first. I've already found how to patch the hole that will be left in the sheet rock on the inside. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
