ME had a similar issue when his upstairs plumbing went bad and his kitchen became a bio hazard. (Of course, since I am doing my own cooking this week, my kitchen is now a biohazard.) We had a leak in the roof. Fortunately, it was in the part of the roof over the garage. <em>Unfortunately</em>, examination revealed the entire roof needed to be replaced. Oh, well, Claire didn't need that senior year of college...</font></div></blockquote><br></div><div>That's exactly how it started with us! We had a small leak in the garage near the chimney, then when our roofer got up there and checked it out, it turned out we might as well replace the whole thing now, since we were about two stiff gusts away from having to chase our whole roof down the hill. At first, I ascribed the mess to Elie's mother visiting that week, as our house has a documented aversion to guests (his mother had to have an emergency quadruple bypass the week after she bought the plane ticket to come see us, and the latest round of leakage came not 12 hours after my sister expressed an interest in visiting). However, on second thought, the leaky chimney is attached to the fireplace in the family room, the mantle of which is where we display our Groo PVC figures, Groo lunchbox, and Groo trading cards. Could Groo be trying to sink the house?</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Janet</div></body></html>
