Water Damage

On Sunday even after everything had been temporarily patched up, the dripping continued during what seems lately to be our daily evening rain storm. We noticed water damage on the ceiling below the kids' room in a few places in the office. And water continued to drip through the window frame.

That can't be good...

On Wednesday the water mitigation people arrived. They agreed.

I'm trying to remind myself that it will get worse before it gets better.

The kids' room has a tarp up to separate the entryway from the rest of the room so the dehumidifier can be more efficient. The kids, by extension, are both sleeping in our room. So cozy...(that's sarcasm).

The ceiling and walls are ripped back to the studs. The hole in the roof causing the extra leaking is much easier to see now (the patch of sunlight above the trashcan). Someone came back to improve on the patching done Saturday and now the leaking seems to have stopped.
Cloud mural ruined, dust from blown insulation everywhere. Lots of tears and lots of wine...

It will get better.
