The Ceiling is Falling! The Ceiling is Falling!

The ceiling is falling has been our "motto" for the past few weeks. Shortly after we moved into our new apartment in South Carolina, we got several inches of rain in a short amount of time causing our ceiling to leak. Long story short, we found out that someone in our building put a satelite dish right above the leaky spot...holes in shingles causes water to damage the boards under the shingles, water leakes through boards onto our ceiling and down the wall. The roofers came and fixed what they could of the roof until the dish was taken down and contractors came in and fixed our ceiling and wall. Sooo we THOUGHT everything was taken care of and no problems....right? Wrong. This past Friday we recieved over 6 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. Guess what started leaking? Yep that's right! Our ceiling started leaking and this time is was bad enough that the ceiling started cracking. YIKES! Water was dripping from the ceiling and down the back of the wall after they just came in and fixed everything. So looks like we are getting even more of our wall and ceiling fixed. At least they are really cooperative here about getting it done well. Not necessarily quickly but they do a good job on it. Now we have 2 holes and a decent sized brown spot on our ceiling and several brown spots on the wall from the water. The roof was totally fixed yesterday because the dish came down on Saturday. Next thing is the wall and ceiling but we have to wait for it to dry out a little bit before they come to fix it. Guess this time Alan and I will be out of the apartment for a full day. Lets hope that Amber doesn't have her baby before then so we have a place to stay. :) I feel like Chicken Little now.
