The Escape Route is Fixed!!

From this . . .

. . . to this.

While Dave was on his fishing trip to Canada in May Missy noticed a bulge in our ceiling in the entryway. It looks like we had a leak in the roof and it settled in the insulation and sheetrock of the ceiling. When Dave got home he took a screwdriver and poked it into the ceiling thinking that would make the water stream out. That's when we realized it had been absorbed by the insulation and sheetrock. So, Dave made a hole in the ceiling so he could find where the leak was. Time went by and there was no need to hurry and fix it as the weather was warm. However, as the temperatures got colder he decided he needed to get it fixed before winter really set in. That way our furnace wouldn't need to be on all the time!! So, the afternoon of November 15 he made the time to fix it. It was a very messy job and I wish I'd taken a picture of the floor afterwards! He found that the project was bigger than originally thought as the ceiling still bowed in places that you really couldn't tell by just looking at it! Dave is quite meticulous when working on a project such as this, wanting to make sure it's done just right. However, he also knows his boundaries, so he'll hire someone to put the sheetrock in, mud it, and texturize the ceiling. It's much warmer in the house now - you can't feel the cold air rushing in like you could before!!
