I know you can't see the roof but what we did was cover it with outdoor plywood (1/2") and then coat it with white sealer. Unfortunately the roof still leaks around the A/C unit because the old ceiling was so rotted that there's no way to seal it well. But it looks a LOT better than it used to! Previous owner had literally bolted a piece of plywood (1/4") to the outside roof, sandwiched another like it to the inside, and then covered the roof with black tar. He was trying to patch a 2-foot square rotted hole in the roof from it sitting under a tree.

The bolts inside that held the sandwich together, were so long you had to duck to get around 'em or you would get a bloody noggin. Now the ceiling/roof is patched properly and the mess on the outside is painted over. And inside I have no patch to look at, nor any bolts hanging down to bloody my head :-)

All in all, I'd say the operation was a success! Wish I had the knowhow to just pull the whole roof off her and REALLY fix it right - but I don't so this will have to do.
