A leaking Roof?
posted in conversation |Not mine; Wil’s. But reading it, I had flashbacks to my childhood.
Yup, our roof leaked. Small surprise, huh? When I was between fifth grade and tenth, we lived in a singlewide trailer in Anchorage. It had a built-on “lean to” that always leaked. I’ve probably mentioned it in the past.
In the summer, it didn’t leak. Because there wasn’t any rain. And if there was, it did leak, and patching the holes would be difficult due to the water. In the winter, it leaked a lot. The roof was flat, so the snow piled up, and Dad would go up there and sweep it off. But the snow would melt and it would leak again. Dad would go up when it was dry to patch the holes with a bucket of tar-stuff.
But I always hated it when the roof leaked.
