We’ve had some torrential rain hereabouts lately, and on his way downstairs this morning, Lloyd discovered that the roof over the stairs is leaking. I had no idea what he was working on until I came upon his contraption construction.
Why go to all that trouble? See, the problem was that the leak was right above that post, so a bucket couldn’t be placed there. He fixed that with a complicated structure that consisted of: four boards, four screws, an upside-down plastic box, a wastebasket, and an anvil. I’m so amazed at his ingenuity.
Of course, paranoid me tied the anvil down with a bathroom robe belt so it wouldn’t be dislodged by the cats and kill one of us.
The kicker? I came home tonight and the leak had stopped, but the ceiling is soggy in other places. Hooray.
