Rain

We could see the rain rolling in, happy, enjoying the overcast skies, the coolness, the smell of the rain and watching movies...and then after two days of constant rain the roof started to leak. Water came from the vents and all the lights in the kitchen. We were so upset because we've worked for years looking for this crazy leak. We've sealed the flat roof, patched the stucco and thought we had it all taken care of and yet it still leaks! Once again the ceiling has to be repaired and one wall repainted. Although we are disappointed, it didn't seem all that bad compared to the poor people in Ruidoso. We soon felt blessed after hearing that over 300 people were evacuated from their homes in Ruidoso which is only 45 miles away. Homes and bridges were just washed away and all we had was a leak.

This is Mark covering the upstairs balcony which is where we think the leak originates. Look at it pour!

Oh my goodness. That stinks. Hopefully after this repair there wont be anymore leaks. I know it didn't turn out to pretty but that picture of the sky is.

what a pain. it's so frustrating putting money and work into something and it still not getting fixed.


i do wish we could have gotten a little bit of your rain though.

Sounds like our flooding problem we have in the front of our house!! Anytime it rains more than an inch or so, it comes right in through our garage and into the house! It SUCKS!
