Fixing a hole

I think it’s stopped raining here, in Kendall Park, which is good news for my kitchen ceiling and the guest room. It’s also good news for motorists, because it should allow the waters that have flooded local roads to recede some.

Watching the news was instructive — we’re lucky here compared to the folks who live in Bergen County or along the Delaware, which helps take me out of my own worries about the water leaking in from around the exhaust vent in the attic. A small ring has developed in the kitchen — newly renovated kitchen, raising anxiety level — but that seems to be it for now.

I’ll have to get up on the roof — or more likely, have someone who knows what to do get up on the roof — and seal it. I’ll also have to seal the window in the guest room, where the rain came in.
