So I noticed a little water damage…
Water Damage (area shown approx 2 inches)
… in my ceiling this morning. Located directly beneath the upstairs bath, the conclusion is pretty simple and I cross my fingers hoping it not to be too traumatic. If I had a dime for every time something weird happens I’d be a millionaire in sterling currency. Here is the water damage (left) so after reading the Reader’s Digest DIY Manual that my father-in-law gave me, along with a few websites, I decided it was time to investigate this further.
Armed with a punch saw and my recently gained knowledge, I poked a hole into the ceiling.
Water poured out.
Dammit, I should have read and APPLIED what I read regarding getting a bucket first. I ran around like a headless chicken and using my an inverted stool my son uses to clean his teeth I was able to catch most of the water while I emptied the garbage from the kitchen and used that to catch the remaining water that came out. Quickly the dripping water came to a stop and I felt I was ready to poke a second, small hole. More water but right into the bucket this time. Score.
