I've had this roof leak for about 1 year. It's small and I put a container in
the dining room where it leaks through the light. Its now to the point of
being a nuisance since the 5 gallon HD bucket sits on the dining table and my
wife is getting upset with the stench from above.

Old fashioned clothes pins are effective nose-pinchers!
Put some fake flowers in the bucket and tell her how great
they smell!

A neighbor suggested I take the bucket on the roof, flip it upside down and
silicone around the top of the bucket. The top would be on the shingles. Will
this work?

A better solution might be to get a REALLY REALLY REALLY (did I mention
"really"?) big TARP and cover the entire house! Then, when it is
exceedingly windy, you can lift off one corner of the fastener and
"sail" the house to your desired destination (leaving the car in the
driveway for the duration)
