We are in the kitchen for coffee Saturday morning, expecting a long weekend of remodeling an upstairs bedroom, finally... moving on to another room. I have hoisted Mr. Nubbs into the air high above my head, and we are admiring how stinkin' cute he is. In the background, the fall of our plan becomes obvious. Water seeping through the kitchen ceiling.. ah ha! A LEAK!~ So, to the upstairs bathroom Luke goes, as we are assuming this leak has a similiar in origination from the first leak. After destroying the bathroom, it became obvious that the leak was NOT coming from any plumbing related devices, but the roof.. and so we tore apart another room trying to find the source. Eventually the leak is discovered, stopped, and corrected. Only after Luke and Ben spent a day on the roof (in the rain, of course) repairing shingles. I spent my extra long holiday weekend reinstating the house to a livable condition... fun. Also, previous roomate Seth rid our house of his belongings, including the hamster he left in his room to die, and her three babies to boot. So I cleaned up the mess left behind, after a couple of pairs of inconsiderate feet met my carpet. It is always something.
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.
