Roof Repairs... This is the gap in the front roofing panels that needs to be repaired: http://stlandh.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8592.jpeg I needed a thin shim of styrene but did not have any so I thought of using a plastic page protector from an old report. http://stlandh.com/wp-content/upl...
