How a Garage Roof Leak and Languishing Love Are Similar
Some time ago, my garage had a roof leak.
At first, I was blissfully unaware of the water pooling and the once-smooth ceiling’s surface swelling.
Trickling beads and cascading streams, almost dancing, down the walls from ceiling to floor escaped my sight.
Their communication of the existing problem went unnoticed.
Only when the once-white finish started to speckle and brown did I begin to realize the extent of the problem.
The plop, plop, plop of water from the roof falling onto the ceiling also went unheard.Simultaneously, the side door between the garage and hallway began jamming. Opening and closing it became a constant pushing, pulling, give-up situation.
Sometimes, I left the door ajar.
At first, I did not make the connection and thought the door had a hinge problem.
Eventually, I examined the door to realize it was swollen, splintering, and rotting from excessive water absorption over time and a considerable lack of attention.
