Watched my neighbor's shed roof go from solid to sagging in one bad storm

Last spring I noticed his old shed roof had a slight dip but figured it was fine. Then a big thunderstorm rolled through last month and I saw that dip turn into a full on valley with standing water on top. He had been putting off replacing the rotted plywood for over a year. Now I'm checking my own roof once a month for any soft spots. Anyone else got a story about something that looked fine until it wasn't?

Can't believe he let rotted plywood sit for a whole year without doing anything about it. That's basically asking for a total collapse when a bad storm hits, especially with standing water just sitting there. Sucks for him but honestly that's what happens when you ignore problems like that.

A whole year putting it off? That's insane.

Totally get it. Sometimes life just gets in the way and you keep putting things off.
