My parents built a sun room on the back of the house, and after several months of construction it's finished . . . except the roof leaks! We discovered the leaking problem for the first time last month. Krista felt a drop while we were sitting out there one evening, and soon pots and trash bags were gathered as we began noticing more drops. The next morning the carpet was saturated. A couple trips to the roof later and we thought the problem was solved. Not quite.
My Dad came up with a temporary fix for the current leaky problem.
Quite brilliant, actually.
With the help of Steven, my Dad got a really long piece of plastic and, with heavy duty tape, taped it around the beam where the drops collect.
And the plastic was taped so a downward slope was created,
allowing for the drops to collect and pour from a single spot . . .
. . . into a single pot.
(No more laying out multiple pots and baking sheets over plastic bags.)
On another note, who needs an umbrella when you've got a snazzy baseball cap? BTW, this is one of my favorite hats, and it speaks truth :0)
