Lost a piece of a shingle…

Well…when I was riding home about a week ago, I noticed that part of a shingle had blown off my roof and that really sucks…the last time it happened, I at least had the shingles that I could have put back on but that still cost me 150 bucks…but this time, the part of the shingle is nowhere to be found…and the first thing that came to mind was that the roof would be leaking but I climbed up in the attack with a flashlight and, even with all the rain we had yesterday, it is still dry…and it looks like there is an underlayer under the part that’s missing so I am going to try to get through till spring and then probably buy a tall ladder and try to climb up there myself and replace it using my tall folding ladder as steps…but that means I’ll have to nail a two by four onto the roof to keep it from sliding off when I climb up there and then fill in the holes when I pry it back off…I’m sure it would cost a couple of hundred bucks to have someone else do it and I can buy a tall ladder for less than that…just hope it doesn’t leak over the winter…I don’ think this is a job to leave for the next owner…damn…
