It seems funny to be thankful that the rain has stopped ... but I am!
My spare bedroom/library has had puddles of water every time it rains, even after we fixed the roof. Seems that it is coming in at the junction of floor and external wall, and up through the foundations through cracks in the cement floor.
I have been packing up my books, airing out the mouldy-smelling pillows, will have to die my new briefcase (mould turned the green surface black in spots), and am looking for friends with dry spaces to store my stuff as the owner looks at fixing it. I'm just waiting for his increase in rent (a frequent suggestion) if it costs him anything. Of course he'd have to do a good job for that to happen, so we'll wait and see! If it's too much I'll seriously consider moving, since we've had lots of problems lately with the house, and so far SIM has paid most of the maintenance.
Last week I had water on my desk next to my computer, on the phone, on my bed ... and the roof has already been repaired three times this rainy season. The house is getting so old that patching up the stuff is not working any more.
