Flat roofs are a design that should be banned. They are a maintenance
nightmare and will leak later if not sooner. Our town put out many
millions reframing the HS to turn it into a pitched roof rather than
continue paying and paying and paying to fix leaks with no success.
The courthouse and jail are still waiting to be done (and still
leaking).
