The bedroom is now reasonably dry and maintenance is supposed to be coming later today to seal that up. Unfortunately, water has seeped into the great room. As luck would have it, underneath the heaviest furniture and bookshelves in the room. So, I'm trying to figure out where to put everything so that this carpet can be pulled up and dried.
The leak turned out to be from "my" pipes--the cold water feed had corroded and a pinhole leak had started. Unfortunately, it was aimed at the back wall of my bedroom closet. (The other way, it would have pretty much drained into the ground and I'd never know. Except when the water bills started doubling. But, again, it took some time.
The fun never stops.
Edit: I am not twenty any more. Do not attempt lifting even partially full bookcases.
Edit 2: Do not stop to read the books you are moving.
