He cut all sorts of corners, I fought him all the way to the bitter end, then ended up throwing him out and doing the sheetrock and finishing myself. But the roof was already "done" by then.

I'm headed up there now to have a look-see. There's a couple buckets of patch sealant in the garage. I'll let you know how it goes.

Cool. Hope you find the source easily. You may have to crawl up in the attic to find it.

I smeared some of that rubberized tar patch compound stuff around the base of the vents and in the valleys. I'm hoping that does it and I didn't fuck things up worse in doing so. But, really, I didn't see anything obvious. The roof actually looks great.

It's a "California Ranch", Bob. It has a very shallow pitch and NO attic.

I cleaned the gutters and swept all of the tree detritus off while I was up there.
