Preservation Before Restoration

To my surprise this past week, I noticed flapping plastic from the roof of #739. I had just stopped by to drop off some parts, so I went inside and sure enough, the plastic above each of the four skylights had ripped. And I knew storms were coming Saturday evening.

So Saturday about noon, all I could find was some dry cleaning plastic and duct tape that ran out too soon! I found a substitute and this week will tell whether or not the patch job will hold until the skylights can be replaced. And did it hold against the torrential rains that fell Saturday evening?
