Roof? It's not all that hard to re-shingle if so.

The bit in question is a tiny shed dormer roof where the box staircase
goes up to my attic. Years ago it leaked badly and I had it re-done
with sheet copper. There's an open seam or nail hole someplace
in the thing, and when it rains just right, with the wind just right,
the thing drips.

Most times it's infuriatingly dry, even during torrential downpours.

Problem is the things 3 stories up in the air, and I'm a total chicken
about ladders. I'd rather have the thing leak forever than fall those
three stories down to the concrete apron and chainlink fence at the
bottom. Right now I have enough responsibilities that I can't
take time out to be injured/dead.

So most times there's a trash can there where the leak would be,
just sitting there. The quickest way to obtain the correct meterological
conditions for it to drip, are have somebody swipe the trashcan!

Really I want to find somebody who can do standing seam copper. Maybe
I'll buy a safety harness and a sheet metal brake.
