Default How not to fix a hole in the roof
That is not a skylight, as I first thought. It's a blue tarp.

Why was it put there? To plug the hole left by the plumbing vent when it fell down. You can't fix stupid!

That's ridiculas. There's going to be more repair now than before. So when the tarp wears away, will they foam another one in?

I don't understand--what's wrong with that repair.

I have it on my roof...



...in three places.

Roofer was from Haiti I think. He got the "hurricane special" for $150.

I think I've seen your roof in my travels... a rose among thorn bushes if I might say so! Just as Joe's example!

At least they could have used a brown tarp so that it was less noticeable...

Thumbs up.

Just hope they cut out the right size hole for that white pipe thingy.
Duck Tape should work well.

LOL.

That's like three times the work and 10 times the mess of just making a permanent repair/replacement.
