Up on the roof top today. Did clean sweep and got all the acorns, leaves and moss off.

I also managed to get some of that black roof repair gunk on my jeans. I got it on my hands and so forth, but used a paint stir stick to apply some of the gunk on the areas where some asphalt shingles had been raised up by the wind and had some moss and gathered leaves under them. I treated that black gunk , called O'Henry, like chocolate frosting to any surface under a loose shingle and put it where there were some exposed nails. I cleaned up using lawn mower gasoline, regular unleaded, on an old rag and got most of it off my hands and arms and fingers. But I forgot to check my pants. I got in the car with my wife later to go to the library and looked and realized I got black tar on the panel of the passenger door. I had to get it taken care of when we got back home. It was just a matter of using a little bit of gasoline on a cloth and that took care of that like magic. I think I might have to go back up later after all the leaves are off next month and do some more sweeping and perhaps look up in the attic using a step ladder that I need to buy but not just yet, and shine a light on the underside of the roof to make sure I don't got any little leaks cause if I let just a little rain get in, well, that will do lots of real damage to the sheet rock in the ceiling. The living room ceiling got a leak from a broken board at the roof top from a heavy roto-rooter that weighed a good 100 pounds and it cracked a board a year or so ago when it was plunked down on top of the roof to clear the vent stack that is a pipe about 4 inches in diameter that goes down into the bottom pipe for waste water going out of the house to ventilate it and when a small crack in the living room ceiling began to grow in size I first tried to use silver duct tape to patch it but that was no kind of solution at all. So now we have to get some money together to pay a contractor to sheetrock the ceiling completely and tape and bed it so we can go from their with the texture and paint and all that. So far, I only figured that some leak that was caused by that busted board ran down the rafters until it reached a point where it was pooling at the ceiling sheet rock just over the living room at the ceiling fan fixture.
