Fast forward to this afternoon. The sun came out and before we knew it, it was almost 70 degrees in our neighborhood. I left work around 2:30 and headed for ACE Hardware to get a tarp. Then, up on the roof. I needed to get the spot covered before the next rounds of rain expected tonight. I couldn't see a spot, but knew about where it should be, so I tarped my first ever roof! UGGHHH UURRRR! UW UW UW! I then cleaned out my gutters and finally put everything away. I am ready for the rain.Then Jen had a great idea. Take a look up in the attic right above the hole in our ceiling. Humm? Ok! I have never been in the attic, so up I went. What I found made me learn a valuable lesson. CHECK THE OBVIOUS FIRST! The ceiling in the attic was dry as a bone however, I noticed the dryer vent sitting on top of the hole and right at that spot was where they had DUCT TAPED two vents together. The tape had fallen out and condensation had been leaking out for the best part of 10 years. That is where it came from, a dryer vent. Here is the pic to prove it...
Next, we have to get our ceiling in our room fixed, and then I will have to take the tarp off my roof. At least the cost of this will be much less than a roof. Thanks God! The best part, I actually learned a lot today. Another moment in TIM TAYLOR BRIAN history!B. OUT!!
