The left rear corner of the house has a leak. This wasn’t discovered until Colin moved out, because his bookcase was in the way of seeing the stains on the wall.

A few months ago, when we found the leak, we called the roofing company that put the original roof in, and they sent someone out to repair it.

A few weeks ago, we had the room re-drywalled & painted.

Last night, the leak returned.

So far, the damage is relatively minimal – the drywall is clearly wet, but it’s not terribly *visible* yet. I put a fan on it, and hopefully, it’ll dry out without too much damage. The real question, though, is *why* the roof is still leaking, and whether it’s the roof at all. There’s big wet spots around each of the downspouts, and I’m wondering if somehow, the little “drains” from the roof into the downspouts are spewing water out into the wall somewhere *below* the roof. I don’t think so, after having taken a look at it today, but I honestly have no idea what else it could be. The roof looked relatively ok, to me. Maybe there’s a leak somewhere higher on the roof, but the corner looked ok to me.

Hopefully, Sierra Roofing will realize that their repair, which was still under warranty, did nothing, despite the roof warranty having expired between then and now. I kinda doubt it, and if not, I’m gonna have to get yet another contractor, and pay them still more money. Whee.

Home ownership: Fuck that.
