It’s funny, but when it finally happens, it’s kind of a relief
Many days like this; listening to the rain inside my living room.
..leading to a ceiling looking like that. The dark plug-like blobs are actually fungi. I wonder if they are edible.
…and then finally, this. Lots of soggy plaster, wood and insulation on the floor. And fungi, edible or not.
It looks a lot neater now that the hole has been squared up. There’s nothing like a bit of symmetry to cheer you up.
Did I mention that we have had a lot of rain in Hastings?

Oh dear oh dear. What a horrible mess – you were lucky it didn’t land on your head. It all weighs a lot more than people think doesn’t it? I hope you’ve got a good friendly builder to help you fix it up.

It is incredibly heavy! – Yes, fingers crossed I think I have found someone who can fix it. The main thing is to trace the leak and stop further water coming in.

Yow crap. I am sitting here in the living room at the moment listening to the plip!plip!plipliplip!plip from the hallway.
That’s not good the way yours went though. This weather has been horrendous.

How long will it take to fix your roof?

The guy need to establish what is going on, first…establish where the leak…leaks come from – wall, roof, windows? and then see what needs to be done to mend the damage. The roof beams may be sound enough to save – fingers crossed…it may be some weeks before the work can even start as everything is so wet and he can’t treat the timber while it is sodden. x

So sad to see. Memories comes up of my parents old house, the last years before my mother moved to an apartment. It was a lovely house but in desperate need of someone who could (afford to) take care of it…
Well I hope that you can find someone who can fix the roof for you.

We had to gut the whole backside of our new home because of damage like this. We are still working on mold remediation before we can begin rebuilding the walls and ceiling. I do not envy you your task, but I am glad you found someone to help you with it!
So sorry this happened, Anna.

When the weather warms up and we can begin again on the repairs. Winter was brutally cold this year with freezing to well below freezing temps… (5 degrees some days!!!) and there is no heat on the mountain right now. Spring is coming and work will begin again. Then we will see how long it takes to rebuild a kitchen, laundry and bath. 😀
