On Friday night, when Vern came home from work he called me upstairs to look at something. He points to a huge bulge in the ceiling in the front room that looks ike it's going to fall any minute. (It actually took about five minutes...)
Apparantly there is some sort of leak in our roof, and that area of the ceiling had become saturated enough to fall down. Two big pieces. It hadn't rained for days, but the wood and sheetrock were dripping wet. It happened pretty fast, there was nothing noticable when the kids and I were playing up there at lunchtime. I'm sure glad Vern walked in when he did.
It was a huge mess. Blown-in insulation everywhere. The wet stuff stained the carpet and the dry stuff coated everthing in the front room, kitchen & dining room.
Fun, fun fun. So, we are borrowing a steam cleaner and are waiting on some sort of action from our landlord. Meanwhile I hope it doesn't get any colder for a little while.Lovely, huh? It made for a crazy sort of a weekend.

WOW!
It looks like what happened in our bathroom a couple of months back.
Hope your landlord takes care of you guys right away!
Hope LV is getting better, poor kiddo. Say Hi to everyone!
Very cool on the playing WoW again, the hope for new computers looks like it might happen for real now by the first of the year. Maybe I can convince a certain grump that he wants to play WoW again :) (cause I know I do!)
Talk to you later!
Holy cow! That is scary! I hope your landlord is quick to respond and get you guys fixed up.
lol Julie! I would love for your cute grump to play WoW again. Won't hold my breath but it'd be so fun. Ran into Marty in a bg last night. He asked about you guys. Says hi. :) Crossing my fingers for new computers for the two of you.
Oh no! So sorry that happened! Hope ya'll are able to get it taken care of quickly.
What a mess...so sorry that happened!! And here's hoping your landlord does something fast!!
