When your roof is leaking in the middle of a Maine winter and you have no idea why…. there’s really only one solution.
.
.
You chip the ice and snow from around the door, set up a ladder….
.
.
Climb up on the roof where you have to chip away more snow and ice…
.
.
And lay a giant ass tarp. ( We’ll be the envy of all our neighbors now, so stylish! ) Then if you’re my husband, you leave a large part of it flapping in the corner.
.
.
What?
.
.
With a storm moving in, I had to fight him to secure the damn thing before it blew halfway to the next county.
.
.
One little string, through one little grommet was all he would do.
.
.
The snow came, turned to rain and miraculously the roof didn’t leak. But we’re due for strong winds in a few days so things are apt get interesting.
.
River's world..... 
Looks like it’s time for a WHOLE new roof.

That’s probably more Navy than Marine, but yes. You would think so.

He did more than I would have managed, so that’s something.

90% of the reason we moved into a condo earlier than I expected was that I was tired of dealing with roof leaks in one house after another. 😒

This one has resisted every repair effort. It’s maddening.

I assume photos #2, 3, & 4 were taken by you from the ladder, so bravo to you for your bravery, which I’m sure the husband appreciated (or did he?).

The husband never appreciates my photo journalism.

Mmmmm—-just thinking out loud–‘if she hadn’t been so mean to Mrs. Squirrel maybe Mrs. Squirrel wouldn’t have made those holes in the roof–never happened when Mrs. Squirrel and her kids had a safe warm home up there!’

It wouldn’t surprise me at all to learn she’s responsible for the leak. They’re very destructive little creatures.

At least the leak stopped.

If tarps stayed on when the wind blew hard, we’d all have tarps instead of shingles…

Did the Flex Seal work as described? I get made fun of by my mention of this miracle all the time.

It did not. Might as well have used Scotch tape.
