I live in an old house with a rubber membrane for a roof. Earlier this year it started leaking. A very slow leak, but a leak can cause big problems. I bought some black wet patch and went on the roof to see what was happening. Right over the spot of the leak was a finishing nail sticking out of the roof. Since I have sunk so much money into this house and have a lot more to spend, I did not want to call a roofer, so I put the nail back in and plopped some of the black stuff over the nail and waited until the next rain storm.

It worked for about a month. After which time, it started to leak again, but only for about 30 seconds. The drops of water were bigger, but it stopped pretty quickly. After a couple of weeks, the leak was back to how it was before. I went back on the roof to look at it again. I could not see any potential leaks in my patch work. Nor could I see where else it may have been leaking. Since the leak is in the exact same spot every time it rains, I think it is safe to assume that the water is not running along a stud (it is very difficult to access the attic).

For any of you who have experience with this, what could be happening? Since the first application did stop the leak, it would seem to me I did find where the water was seeping. Is it possible that water can penetrate black wet patch? Does wet patch not work well on rubber? If so, is there a better product I can use?

Again, I have put a lot of money into this house and I have a lot more to spend. If I do call in somebody, I want to make sure that it is the only thing I can do to get this fixed.

I have two dogs, one if an 11yr old female boxer-chow mix and the other is a 3 yr old cockerspannel male. The two dogs are best friends. One thing I have noticed about my boxer-show is that she will often walk up to the cockerspannel and start to give him nibbles. Sometimes these nibbles will turn into them wrestling, sometimes he just relaxes as she is doing this. I am curious at to what she is trying to do. Is this some kind of dominance issue? Is she grooming him? Is she trying to pick a friendly fight?

My online movie queue is almost empty, and I want to reload it with some movies of my childhood era. Everytime I get into a conversation about the 80's (and it happens quite often), I am reminded of yet another movie that I just have to see again. Can you help me remember some more movies? The more obscure, the better.

I have a long, narrow house built in 1920. The foundation has long since settled, however, the owners 20-30 years ago added on a 5' addition to the back of the house (yes, you read that right, they added 5' to the length of this house). That has since sank several inches. I need to get this lifted and I am wondering what I should pay to get this done. The house is about 12' wide and 50' long.

I don't know if this is enough information, but could you at least give me a ballpark estimate before I start getting estimates?
