“Hi, I'm located here in my area and I was just watching a video on VideoProven called ‘How to fix a safely patch a leaking roof shingle’. I see that it's rated as a Medium repair and requires a Flat Pry Bar and a Roofing Cement, which I don't have on hand. I'm a bit stuck on the step at the 02:55 mark. Can you send someone over to help me finish this up?”
