Home protection project #1: we are having a deluge of rain, as is common in our area in the winter months. We noticed that out deck, which sits above our tandem garage (cars back to back instead of side by side), was leaking into the back half of the garage. The previous owners had turned the back half of the garage into a workshop where he modified and restored boat engines. It's a pretty awesome space that I quite haven't decided what to do with.
We know we are going to have to resurface the deck in the Spring, but just have to put up with it for now... so, in the meantime, we have modified a tarp with couple of wood/cardboard funnels to keep the deck free of water in the leaky area.
We'll reassess the set up if it cools enough to snow again...
