Holy News

No, we are not going to see the pope. I am talking about "the hole." If you recall, one year ago, I was ripping out a 3 foot by 8 foot hole in our ceiling when water was pouring down on top of our tv. Yes, it has been one full year. And yes, we still have a hole. And yes, water still comes through during rain storms, at least as of last week. We have spent almost $3000 as an association trying to fix said leak, but it just keeps coming. The upstairs neighbor, Eoin, spotted a couple of leak possibilities on Saturday and we tested his theory by pouring a couple of buckets of water on two areas. We went down to our unit and water was pouring through the hole. Eoin then caulked the trouble areas on Sunday. We took a hose to the deck last night and after approximately 30 minutes of spraying, I am proud to report no water!

We will now wait for a couple more rain storms, just to make sure we have solved the problem. After that - we can get our ceiling fixed!

Phantom leaks in an apartment? Didn't I see that in a bad movie once? Oh yeah, it was Dark Water - http://www.scifidimensions.com/Jul05/darkwater.htm - Hopefully your case is not so diabolical
