In the Ghetto

(in your best Elvis voice)
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
cause if there's one thing that she don't need
Its another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

OK so this is a little gehetto. What do you do if your roof is leaking? Well, you try to go to the attic and find the leak.
Well, the attic is not accessible in the area that it is leaking.
So, what you do is make a hole in the ceiling to find out where the leak is. It will be needing to come down to be repaired anyways. So what I have done is make a hole in the ceiling of the bedroom. It was raining again today so I was able to see where the actual leak was. Good deal. But, I can't fix the leak b/c of the rain. So now I have a hole in the bedroom going to the attic which goes to the roof that is leaking because of rain. So how do you go about not getting your bedroom all wet.

Big Andrew the fireman and Grace - I love this, I read all of them. My faves are the obvious one. The Foley catheter may have real cross-application potential. I'd suggest focusing on your niche market until you generate the capital necessary to market to toilet overflows, overwhelmed dishwahers, and other general plumbing issues. Multiple trips to Lowe's accompanied by interesting language is the mark of a true handyman, just ask my personal fix-it man (although he also adds multiple calls to your inlawz). As for the baggy, a little mystery is a good thing. Keep up the blogging - I'm going to monitor it closely! Stephanie
