If there's cake around, it's all mine! That ceiling was never properly fixed. The best he'd do was replace that section with sheetrock when the leak started to come through, which it did at least once a year, usually in the spring. To be fair, once, he had the roof reshingled, claiming that would take care of the problem (it didn't), but he never tried to trace the water-flow itself. He claimed he was a building contractor, but he also claimed he'd bribe the housing inspector to overlook violations. I'm glad I don't own. Anything. You better believe it, baby! If there’s cake around, it’s all mine!

Good luck with the siding and other projects. Jeff can't stand our siding either and wants to replace it. Wow, those steps look great! Good luck with the siding and other projects.

That beats our story - staying in a little hotel in Wolfe Island, they sprung a leak which landed on me. I thought that was bad, but you take the cake! Holy crap - nightmare turned to reality!

About 12 years ago, at about 3:00am, after days of rain, I actually had a chunk of plaster ceiling fall on me in my sleep, along with a couple of litres of water that had been standing on it. I'm sure I screamed. Not then, later when my crazy landlord tried to figure out how to blame me and charge me to repair it. Isn't that scary, boys and girls? Ao-oooo! I don’t dream about leaking ceilings.

Need a respirator mask for the Attic Adventure? I've got a couple different styles here if you do. Water leaks went past nightmare into reality just after we bought the house.
