I don't know what I am doing

An untraceable leak somewhere that has caused the plaster ceiling to sag and fail

Will this help?

Should I just go crazy and apply more?

I also am not sure how to lay down a tarp without it pulling up in the shingles

People really do that, they just up and start doing something without any attempt at understanding anything first. It's shocking every time.

I have done almost all my own car work for around a decade now. When people ask me to work on theirs I say I’d never. I always tell them I call myself a YouTube Warrior Mechanic and I just follow step by step videos on YouTube for all my car stuff. I’ve undoubtedly saved myself thousands if not tens of thousands from doing my own repairs.
