It's enough that I'm not fully trusting what the first roofer said. So
I'll see what the second guy says. The guy coming on Monday charges $60
for each replacement sheet of plywood, but I don't know what the main
charge will be.

There are other pictures, but mostly plywood. This one is the ridge
rail but it's probably the front of the house when the leak is in the
rear. I wish it would rain so I could go up there and watch it in
action.

On TV, they drag a garden hose up there and make it rain.

Yeah, but I would have to do that, and it's January -- I can be wet and
I can be cold but I don't want to be cold and wet -- and I'm not going
on the roof, and I'd have to be inside the attic at the same time.

I could hire someone to do the hose, but I don't have enough insurance
for when he falls.


The guy today said he could tell where the problems are. Details after
the boss sends an estimate.
