In fact, he said that thanks to my accident the apartment was finally getting the roof repair it had needed for several years, and no matter how strong or well-designed a roof is, nothing lasts forever and roof upgradement is inevitable for every condo and business
In my outdated neighborhood I used to climb up on the roof late at night so I could look up at the stars, then this was before I could drive, so my options for getting out of the apartment were quite limited; Getting on the roof, and kneeling back for a while as I relaxed, was easily peaceful; I had to be careful moving around, because I didn’t want my parents to hear me up there. That all came to a crashing end when I took a wrong step, fell through the roof into the attic, and caused a few thousand dollars worth of roof repair… Later I would be informed by the roofing company that it wasn’t my fault because the repairs were long overdue. In fact, he said that thanks to my accident the apartment was finally getting the roof repair it had needed for several years, and no matter how strong or well-designed a roof is, nothing lasts forever and roof upgradement is inevitable for every condo and business. In this case my parents had not had roof repairs done in over a decade. That meant the roofing was beyond repair, it needed to be completely upgraded, and for a full roof upgradement first the shingles need to be scraped off, then the rotten or harmd plywood needs to be pulled up and upgraded, and our roof upgradement was so intense the company had to even remove and upgrade a few rafters and support beams! In another year or two, the entire roof might have collapsed, so my accident came at just the right time.
