[Rhodes22-list] Leaking Roof

[Bill Effros]

The roof is 17 x 24, and is more than 25 years old.

I loaned my digital camera to my son last night, won't have it back until Wednesday.

The sun is shining now, and I'm hoping for good weather.

Bill

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
