I’m starting to figure out the “flow” of my new job. There’s not much of one. Once we tackled a bunch of items, there’s not much else to do. Hence, my posting to the bloggo.
However, I am now getting invited to tons of meetings, so I guess that will occupy my time.
Sunday or Monday night there was some hellacious Texas-sized wind and a little rain. In the middle of the night, I blearily remember looking out the window and watching the trees whip their hair back and forth. Don’t think I’ve ever seen it blow like that. Go figure. We’re beginning to see unbelievable weather that I’ve NEVER seen in my ten years here. Blankets of deep snow, tornado speed winds, cats and dogs living together…….
The upshot of this is that in the morning, I awoke and went to the kitchen like I normally do. Flipped the kitchen light on and there was a faint buzz that I couldn’t find. Walked outside to see if it was there. It wasn’t (but a friggin’ gigantic branch was on my roof) so I went back in. Still buzzing. Looked up at one of my hanging kitchen lights and it was a slightly different color – so I tapped it….and watched waves of water ripple inside it. The bulbs were completely submerged – I don’t know how it didn’t blow a breaker.
So, I cut power and drained the fixture (approximately a gallon and a half) and then climbed into the attic to find where the leak was.
Couldn’t find it. So I went to work.
Upon returning home, I went on the roof and started cutting the branch down.
Found that the branch had destroyed one of the shingles (right above my kitchen) and that’s where the water is leaking in from. These be the perils of home ownership.
