god dammit, just when things were looking up, this has to happen? honestly, i’m just waiting for the icing on the cake here… any moment now i’m sure fucking poo water is going to start backing up through the basement shower drain.
the basement leaks are nothing new, but it’s usually just a little puddle here and there. this time it’s almost a steady stream of water coming in from 4 different places at once. and of course my basement has that stupid industrial carpet that’s glued to the concrete. extra fun times!
the roof leaking is actually less worrisome… the way this house was made, there is a section of soffit that has another roof right below it and when the wind is blowing in a certain direction it ends up forcing the rain into that soffit. so, less of a leak, and more of a design flaw of the house itself. either way, it’s causing a mess.
this evening appears like it will be spent placing towels on the floor to sop up the water, then throwing them in the washer and dryer, grab new towels and then repeat the process until i fall asleep.
so you’re damn right i’m high right now.
edit: and i just spent the last several hours cleaning poo water backing up from shower drain. i’m definitely going to end up with pinkeye or something from this.
