My patio roof has leaked on to my patio like rain for the last several days. Why? Because the idiot that designed the roof did not either(1) provide enough slope to prevent the melting ice on the roof daming up behind the remaining ice from leaking through the shingles and through the materials under the shingles or (2) provide a roofing material impervious to this damed water.
When I called the builder about this, he said houses here in Tulsa were not designed for ice -- that we were not Colorado. Them I asked him since we do have ice forming on our roofs here in Tulsa (from snow melting and refreezing, from sleet or from freeaing rain), isn't it kind of stupid not to design for it. I got no answer. The buider did say he had identical complaints from several other people.
Reminds me when St. Peter said the building of the Pearly Gates took a lot of effort because he first had to go to Hell to find a contractor.
