rain

w/ no place to go " And its true
The day is grey and dreary. I'm off the the old cottage w/ the new owners - fall clean up and inspect.
The heat and water stay on. Thus, its leaves and such
if we're lucky b/c there is a good chance that something needs fixing. Always
A constant of cottage life
home ownership
broken is guaranteed
there should be a label - " Expect Breakage "
In fact, I'm believing that if its built non - dissectible - somebody goofed or was too cheap
To wit, in my shower, there is no access to the water pipes. the plumber guy already knocked a hole in the ceiling < since re - covered as best as possible > to reach an inevitable ' eddy corrosion ' hole
The plumber knew before he went up there - just a matter of where
He knew !
See !
When pipes are elbowed the water swirls and creates an erosion of the metal - leading to a hole
Small, then big then water comes out onto your shower - yes, the leak was through the ceiling onto the shower itself.
But only b/c that was the low point. Obviously water was flowing all over but coming out at the shower light
Yeah, I was really cool about that
Water - electricity and me under that
whoopee ! A jolt in the morning w/ your java
And it seems w/ a little thought structures and devices could repairable or at least accessible
