How Bad Was The Roof?
For those of you who have been wondering just how bad our roof leaks were, hopefully you can get an idea by looking at these pictures. They show how much ceiling damage there is in this room now…
Hole number one, shown above (behind the ceiling fan), was our worst spot. We had a 33 gallon plastic storage bin catching the worst of it, plus about six other buckets surrounding that one to try and catch the runoff that was outside that bin’s catch area. Sometimes we’d have that 33 gallon bucket filled within 10-15 minutes during bad rains.
When this second hole starting forming, we decided we couldn’t deal with this any longer. We actually started looking for a place to move first, but that didn’t pan out so we hunted around for a roofer.
As you can see from this last picture, the problem was only spreading… really fast.
These pictures were taken after I started cleaning up too. The first thing I did once the roof work was finished, was take a broom to the ceiling and knock down all the loose plaster and drywall. I still need to trim a couple of spots but believe it or not: This actually looks much better than it originally was.
