Water Torture, the leaky roof version

Nothing makes me more anxious and crazy than house issues like our current leaky roof, especially after the rainiest September on record in our neck of the woods in Texas. It's one of the main things you depend upon working in your home, and it's falling down on the job in several places. Unluckily for us, October seems to be following in September's footsteps thus far with the precipitation. It's yet another one of those be careful what you wish for situations because our drought summer has led to fall flooding. 


We've got lots of windows along the back of the house to watch the rainfall. Below is one of THREE leaks in my exercise room, where the original 1953 roof meets the new 90s master bedroom wing addition.


With all of the rain, it has been hard to schedule repairs and fixes with our roof guy. Last week we set it up for him to do further repairs and patches this Wednesday, but now the forecast is calling for a 90% chance of rain that day. GAH! 


Below is the garage leak that happens any time water pools on this part of the patio in a big downpour. The bottom two pics are window leaks, one on the upper frame and the other where the panes need to be reglazed. When it rains, it seriously pours on into the house these days.
