Anybody anywhere out there have suggestions for what I should be

Thanks in advance.



Have the roof foamed. This takes care of the leaking problem once and
for all and adds a decent layer of insulation to the entire shop.

Its very popular here in California and seems to be holding up quite
well.

An example

But aren't you from the LA area, where if it drizzles a little bit
everyone is afraid to drive?


Drive less than 70 you mean.

My dad was down there one June when it rained lightly -- the only people
at Dizzyland were the Oregon contingent and a bunch of Japanese tourists.


Rain in June is bad juju to those in Southern California. Shrug..but
then where I live in the Central Valley/high desert,. the average
rainfall per year is 4"

The foam still seems to work very well.
