Down at the island home for a few hours.
Last time I was there (last Saturday) I had noticed a damp spot on the garage floor. It had been raining and I know that rainwater comes under the door if the wind is right so I chalked it up to that.
Came down this afternoon and that spot was still wet. Was hit by a drop of water, looked up and saw some very soggy drywall. Ruh Ro!!!
I have been removing the old hydronic heating system and installing mini-split heat pumps. Drained the pipes but there must have been a bubble that eventually let go. Nothing bad - probably only a gallon or two of water but it went right into the drywall. I had been planning to re-do the garage anyway - put in insulation and re-wire the electrical service but wanted to do this on my schedule. Tore out the affected areas so it can dry out.
Fun and games...
