Well, that was fun.
Sunday morning I awoke at 4am to the sound of rain. Unfortunately it was coming from out living room. A pipe in the second story attic started leaking directly over an interior wall. The water ran down between the wall, through the floor and pooled on the sheetrock ceiling of the living room before coming through.
One of the more surreal moments of my life was punching a hole in the ceiling with a screwdriver and watching the water run out.
I turned the water off and went back to bed. Later I started pulling down wet drywall and punching holes in the walls upstairs. We’re getting an estimate on pipe work and new water heater, which we’re due for.
It could have been much worse, the water fell on the rug above the hardwood floor which had a rubber pad beneath. Friends have been telling me horror stories all week about incidents, so I feel better.
Life can be interesting.
