We do have a kettle for hot tar but haven't used it in years. Stuff is really dangerous especially on a small roof such as that, I'd recommend a rubber roof. If he's only got one layer of roof up there you can go over it cheap. I'll look at it I'm going down there this week, if there is a quick fix I can do by all means I will free of charge. Streetfight off the top of your head do you know how big that flat roof is roughly? Trying to recall but I never really noticed, to busy looking at the stuff inside. I'll leave him a message and see if I can't go down there and help him out some.

its just a small back storage room-10 x 20 as a guess. he had one of his regular customers there and they went and got a tarp and a bundle of strips to tack it down with. if its not too big a job and you could do it right (or at least better) i'm sure he would apreciate it. if you end up doing anything pm me i'd be happy to kick a couple bucks in for materials.....

you guys are a okay! i'll have something for both of you at the risaa show....

the Cap'n is a good man.

Streetfight thanks for the info, thats a small roof, ideally I'd like to go there, find the leak, make a temporary repair, then install a rubber roof in march when it warms up a little cause the adhesives aren't meant to be put down below freezing. I called and left the Capt a message I'm going down this weekend, most likely saturday. I'll bring the stuff to make the repairs and measure it while I'm there, then I'll come up with the material price and see what we got. I would do it sooner but I herniated a disc in my back last week and would like to give a couple more days to heal.
Scone I won't need a hand on Saturday as I'll just do a small repair, but if/when I do the roof I might need a helping hand, I'll pm you and thanks for you offer of help.
Afterhours thankyou for bringing this to our attention, and I'll see you at the Risaa show and the SWE one if your there.

sounds like a plan Will- thanks.
