Leaks

It’s been pretty rainy the last couple days here, and with it comes trouble. As in leaky trouble.

Every time it rains we seem to discover a new leak somewhere, and lately those somewheres all seem to be in the garage. Practically everywhere there is a nail hole from the roofing material a leak has formed, which is probably a cause for concern throughout the rest of the house too, but since we can’t see any of the other areas, I’m perfectly fine lying to myself and saying that the problem is confined to the garage. Okay, so I’m really not.

I mean, the leaks are nothing major, mostly just wet areas as we look up and not puddles on the floor, but still, the fact that this is happening can’t be good. Of course, it seems to be happening more often than it used to. We’ve had our fair share of leaks in the house too, one of which was professionally fixed years ago that was by our front door. That was a lovely way to greet guests! “Welcome to our house, don’t stand there for too long or you’ll get dripped on!” A few years ago we also had a leak in the kitchen, but that seemed to go away. Still, having rain come down through the exhaust fan in the ceiling wasn’t something to simply laugh at, but it only happened during a particularly wild and rainy storm for a couple days.

So with the weather here supposed to be wet, cold and windy for the next few days, I’m expecting there to be more leaks to form. Hopefully they’ll be kind and confine themselves to the garage area only and not start dripping on me while I’m cooking again.
