Our Leak

While we were gone to South Africa our air conditioner started leaking down through the ceiling. I had not noticed the leak until one of the maintenance crew came by the house earlier in the week to look at the leak. Because the ceiling tile that needed to be replaced was connected to a light fixture, he said he would have to wait until an electrician could come and help him.

Well, it rained yesterday. I am not sure what is going on with the air conditioner, but apparently the rain is coming in through the air conditioner and causing a buildup of water in our ceiling. I was feeding Thia yesterday afternoon when I heard this rushing water upstairs and extremely fast and steady dripping of water in our kitchen. I walked over to the table to see that everything on the table was soaked. There was also a huge puddle of water on the floor. I literally watched the water stain on the ceiling tile grow and bulge.

Now we are waiting on someone to come and fix not only a tile but whatever is causing the leak in the first place. Apparently it is not only an air conditioner leak, but it has something to do with a leak in the roof as well. Oh well, we will see when they come to fix it. Not sure when that will be since the first work order was put in over an month ago. I will keep you posted.
