PROBLEM: The ceiling is leaking.
SOLUTION: Call landlord. Put bowls under drips until we can get maintenance here.
PROBLEM: Leak water falls ~6ft and splashes mightily from the bowls, getting all over the kitchen counter.
SOLUTION: Nail twine to ceiling, crossing where the water oozes through, then dropping down to the bowl. Capillary action brings all the water down in a slower fashion.
PROBLEM: Diverting all water to one bowl makes it fill up way too fast.
SOLUTION: Tie a few more pieces of twine to the bit running across multiple drips, descending to the other bowls.
I feel like fucking MacGyver here.
