well, the maintenance guy came and looked at it, but despite the fact that more rain is due tomorrow, they are not planning nay temporary stop-gap measures. They want everything to dry before they do the actual roof repair "so they don't have to do it twice." I gave them a tarp but that did not work out. I think they may be planning to cover the area wuth plastic to get it through the next storm. Dry (but cold) weather is due later this week...
