This reminds me of when it rained here 8 inches each day for two days running and the plastic wash basin the previosu homeowners had so thoughtfully put over the living room ceiling rather than fixing the roof leak---all of which was, of course, totally unknown to us---overflowed, soaked the ceiling, and ripped through with a monstrous ripping sound while I was in the home office on the phone with my father. I'll never forget that sound as long as I live, or rushing into the living room to see a huge, ragged hole in the ceiling, water pouring down all over everything, and the offending wash basin on the floor! 50 years off my life at the very least. Ah, the joys (pardon the pun) of homeowning! I'm so glad you were able to get a plumber pronto.our friend Benhttp://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-9403936098172786402009-11-03T11:01:16.695-05:002009-11-03T11:01:16.695-05:00I just read your hilarious email and had to pop ov...I just read your hilarious email and had to pop over!
