so it rained heavily last night.
I wasn't aware there was a typhoon nearby, since Vicky was far south of here, but the cook informs me that we are signal one, which is what it looks like from here.
the heavy rain all night means the roof is again leaking: But since the last time they fixed the roof, most of the leaking is in the dining room.
But last night, the secretary smelled electricity, and we searched and found nothing, and all the electrical stuff seemed to be working.
Ah, but this morning when I went to turn on the lights, no ceiling light. The lights using the wall sockets were okay, as was the air conditioner, but the modem was blinking too. So we figure it is one of the wires in the ceiling has shorted.
I turned off the fuses to both bedrooms just in case, but Joy's bedroom and modem are working, as is the light in the dining room despite all the water on the floor here. So I am posting this from the dining room.
To make things worse, one of the dogs vomited in the bedroom and I had to clean that up. Sigh.
I live in the house Lolo built in the 1960s, and since we moved here, we did put a new roof on it, but it always leaks due to gutter problems in heavy rain. But now the roof is still leaking where the last typhoon rippped off some of the roof/ skylight panels:
Our handiman did routine repairs but it still leaks a bit: he couldn't get good quality stuff for repair since everyone's roof had damage ;and supplies were short. I think he used plywood as a stop gap.
We will need a professional roofer to fix it.
No one is up except for me and the cook (and the dogs) and it is still raining heavily.
ah the pleasure of living in a tropical paradise....
