Linco Dominguez looks in on his coworkers while they continue to modify the roof of Stanton Hall Thursday in Natchez. “Basically we’re trying to divert the water,” Dominguez said, “The gutters seem to be level and they’re not supposed to be, they’re supposed to have a gravity flow to them so the water doesn’t sit in it.” Dominguez said what they are essentially doing is building a cricket so the water will run to either side of the roof.
