Well, it’s leaking too, except this one’s not so temporary! 🌧️ Don’t worry though, I got your back with a **temporary fix**. We're talking about using **high polymer (HP) waterproof tape**—yes, tape—on your roof. It’s like giving your roof a Band-Aid and hoping it holds until you can afford the roof surgery! 🩹
Now, before you get all excited and grab that ladder like you’re Spiderman, let me just say this: **This is temporary**. So, after you tape up your roof, start saving up for that real repair job. 💰 Oh, and one more thing—if you're afraid of heights, *don’t you dare climb that roof*! Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.

### Step 2: Install a CCTV in Your Roof 📹
Now here’s where things get fancy! Step 2, you're going to want to set up a **CCTV camera inside your roof**. I know, I know, you’re thinking, "What am I, James Bond?" No, but trust me, this is about to be the smartest thing you do all day (apart from reading this guide, of course). 😎
Stick that camera in your attic or under the roof so you can watch for any **light coming through cracks** in the tiles. Think of it like a roof detective show. "Who’s letting the light in? Where’s the crack? Tune in next time!" 🍿
No camera? No problem. Just skip to step 3 and go all old-school detective with your eyeballs. 🕵️♂️

### Step 3: Hunt for Sunlight Like a Pro ☀️
Now that you’re set up, **check that CCTV footage**. What are we looking for? Not intruders, not ghosts, but good ol’ **sunlight**. If light’s coming through your roof, congratulations! You’ve found your leak. If not, well… you’re either good or you’ve just missed the spot. Keep watching, Sherlock. 🔍
No camera? Go inside during the day and squint really hard until you see some sunlight creeping through. You’ll know when you find it—it’ll be like the heavens opened up, except instead of a blessing, it’s a **cracked tile**! 🙌
---
### Step 4: Climb That Roof… If You Dare 🧗
Now here comes the fun part. It’s time to **channel your inner Spiderman** (without the suit). Carefully climb up to the roof using a sturdy ladder. And listen—if you’re scared of heights or your climbing skills peaked in primary school, *stop right here*. Seriously, call a pro. Your safety is worth more than a temporarily fixed roof! ⚠️
For those of you who are daredevils or just too stubborn to call for help, wear **non-slip shoes**, use a **ladder stabilizer**, and—hey—maybe consider a **safety harness**. Safety first, roofing second, hospital never. That’s the goal! 🦺

### Step 5: Identify the Cracked Tile Like You’re CSI 🕵️♀️
Now that you’re up there, it’s time to **play detective again**. Remember that light you spotted earlier? Yep, that's where the cracked tile is. Peek inside, check your CCTV, or, if you’re still going old-school, look down where you suspect the crack is. See light coming in? Bingo! You’ve found the culprit. 🎯
If there’s no light, don’t worry—**use your gut**. It’s probably that tile you’re looking at suspiciously right now.

### Step 6: Patch It Up with HP Tape Like a Pro 🩹
Here’s where you get to shine, DIY hero! Time to **patch that crack** with your high polymer tape. And no, I’m not going to tell you exactly how long to cut it—you’ve got this! You’re already on the roof, so use your **judgment**. 🤔
**Steps:**
1. **Clean the crack**. Just wipe it down, get rid of any dirt, debris, or bird poop.
2. **Cut the tape**. Make it a bit longer than the crack. Not rocket science here.
3. **Apply the tape**. Stick it down, press hard, and make sure it’s sealed like you’re trapping a secret in there. No air bubbles, no gaps. We’re aiming for waterproof, not half-proof. 💧
There you go, superhero—one crack sealed! But hey, don’t get cocky, there’s more roof to inspect.

### Step 7: Look Back at CCTV (You’re Basically a Roof Spy Now) 🕶️
Climb back down, take a sip of water (or something stronger, no judgment here), and **check your CCTV footage again**. No more light coming through? Nice! Crack sealed, mission accomplished. 🎉
If you still see some sunlight, it means your patch job might need a little tweaking. Go back up, adjust the tape, and try again. It’s all part of the game, my friend.
---
### Step 8: Visually Inspect the Roof (Put Those Eyes to Work) 👀
Now it’s time to **check out the rest of your roof**. You’re basically a roof inspector now—no diploma needed. Look at each tile, especially the ones that are staring at you like they’re hiding a secret crack. 😏
Got any more suspicious tiles? Repeat that taping process until you’re sure all the cracks are sealed. Don't worry, you’re getting the hang of it by now!
---
### Step 9: Sit Back, Relax, and Hope for the Best 🙏
Congratulations! You’ve done the hard part. Now, all that’s left is to **sit back, relax, and pray**. Because let’s be honest, this is a **temporary fix**, not a lifetime commitment. Hopefully, it’ll hold long enough for you to save up some cash and call a real roofer. Cross your fingers, light a candle—whatever helps. You’ve done your best. 🤞
---
### Step 10: Oh, and Don’t Forget to Climb Down! 🛑
Yeah, that’s right—**don’t forget to get off the roof**. You’re not living up there! Climb down safely, pat yourself on the back, and promise yourself that next time, maybe you’ll just hire someone… or, you know, *do this again* when another tile decides to give up on life. 😅

### Conclusion
So, there you have it! A temporary roof fix using **high polymer waterproof tape**. You didn’t sign up to be a roofer, but here you are—patching cracks like a pro. Just remember, this is **temporary**, and unless you plan on going up there every time it rains, you’re going to need a more permanent fix sooner or later. But for now, sit back, relax, and enjoy your waterproof victory (and maybe start a roof repair fund)! 💪😄
