hey Don, thought you might like an update- i saw cap'n this weekend @ the shop-he is holding up very well. i've never known anyone with such a positive attitude.
on top of everything else he had some pretty big leaks in the roof of the shop during the rain on friday- he was trying to get that sorted out while i was there....
thanks for the initial post i thought you were talking about the leg job he was scheduled for....

I spoke with Capt Don yesterday and streetfight you're right, the man has a great attitude. Had I been there this weekend I may have been able to take care of his roof problems as I'm a roofer. His baitshop is the furthest one from me, yet I still make the drive to buy stuff from him cause he's that good of a guy, and I enjoy giving him my business. I wish him a speedy recovery and with the attitude and mindset that he has I know he will do well.

wadingwill- the back part of his roof (the flat part) is whats leaking- he had someone there that was just going to tarp it off for him and hope it keeps the worst of it out till warmer weather gets here and he can "roll out" a new one w/ paper- what he really needs is someone w/ a hot tar machine to at least give it a good swab. if you have the machine and its not too much $$$ i'd be willing to kick in for the tar to help him out.

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.....
