As we wait around to have our home restored, it seems that we also have to keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. We have learned that, like Mrs. Marcos, Hurricane Imelda has a Hell of a lot of shoes, and they just keep on coming.
We had very heavy rain yesterday, at a rate in excess of an inch per hour, and last night as we prepared for bed, Honey discovered a wet spot. Water had dripped in from the crank in the ceiling that raises/lowers the TV antenna.
Luckily, it was just a small spot and I was able to soak up the water that was still in the crank with a rag. We're washing and drying the sheets, etc. this morning.
I grabbed what I thought I might need and climbed up on the roof this morning. We have more rain expected with a cold front coming in this evening, so I really didn't have a choice.
Here was the problem -
The weather-proof boot that is supposed to seal the opening where the coax comes through the roof was out of place, about an inch and a half or so up the cable from the nipple it was supposed to fit over. No idea how that happened, but at least it was a quick and easy fix.
