We already posted about the rain water making its way into the kitchen above the window. While we had seen the marks to show this, we hadn’t actually witnessed this water “in action”, not until today.
We’ve had a hell of a lot of disruption lately, including five consecutive days of work on one side of the house to attempt to remedy the apparently more serious problems of water ingress on that side of the home, which included a Saturday, and caused a lot of grief for our baby girl (and consequently, us!).
Anyway, more on that later, but this is about as much of a “live update” as I’ve managed to post on this blog so far. Today it’s been raining since mid morning, and this evening it has been raining pretty hard, and not in the most common direction across the house, so I decided to check the kitchen window.
Yes water is coming in via the ceiling above the kitchen window, there is a large wet patch on the ceiling, and the water is literally dripping from the window frame. This water was dripping down, on the glass, the kitchen surface, and irritatingly onto some Halloween sweets we’d bought for our Son and placed in the window the night before.
Not happy, but we knew this leak was here already, but now we’ve seen it for ourselves, we appreciate how serious it is. Apparently someone from the George Wimpey management team is due to visit us on Wednesday (it’s currently Saturday night) to check the previous repairs and decide if that’s the correct way forward (or something along these lines, I have no idea what they’re really up to half the time), they may have to put that, and the repairs forward, at this rate.
