[Rhodes22-list] Leaking Roof

[John Tonjes]

Bill,
Sounds like it has a very inexpensive roll roofing product on it. If 
possible, could you take some photos (digital) and send them to me at 
JTonjes at aol.com. I need to see the type of flashing on the top side and also 
get an overvies of the roof before I can make a recommendation. Possibly a 
little "miracle in a bucket" might get you by for a year or so. How big is 
this room, roof?

Rummy
