Subject: And now... my roof is leaking and it is going into the living room

TG I had my computer on my lap because it started leaking right onto the little table I keep it on. My husband says "ain't nothin' I can do about it" and goes back to bed. How about putting a bucket into the attic instead of letting it spread all over the ceiling, like it's doing right now. I really don't know why I bohter to keep getting up every day. BTW, in case you are wondering, I can't get up into the attic or I would do it myself.

hope he goes upstairs soon! I had a slow leaking roof, and I didn't notice for too long. Now I have a new roof, but water marks on my ceilings everywhere.

i figure I have to get up to feed those overweight caats that live here. ;-)

It was cause by ice dams on the roof. The ice lifts up the shingles and when it melts you have a peroblem!
I wish you the luck with that!

also frustration with the BF for not preparing for the flooding (after my frequent warnings of impending doom) which could have saved us a lot trouble and damage.

[> [> The ceiling tiles fell off sometime last night -- Dolly, 17:46:04 12/29/10 Wed [1] (pool-173-63-26-83.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net/173.63.26.83)

Looks like (so far) 7 of them need to be replaced. No idea what the damage in the attic is. Husband refuses to look. His rememdy is to deny anything is happening and hope it goes away. He thinks all he will have to do is replace the ceiling tiles. I'm surprised he isn't duct taping some up there right now. So hard to believe my father in law was a carpenter who knew so much about houses.

I sure hope you don't get mold up there from all the water.

Might be worth it to give them a call.
