With all the hard rain last night and all day today, we learned we really do have a roof leak. Some months ago we noticed a stain on an upstairs ceiling and immediately called Ken, our guru of all things home construction. He could not find the leak at that time. So we developed a plan. We would paint over the stain with Kilz and watch the area to see if the stain recurred. After every storm and every trip we’d check the ceiling and heave a sigh of relief that there was no more staining. Then today things changed. In the middle of the hard rain we looked up and discovered we had a water balloon developing in the middle of the ceiling! Another call to Ken who came quickly and was able to find the actual leak. Now we have a new game plan. Seal the leak. Replace the insulation. Paint to ceiling again. And all will be well! Thank heavens for Kilz!
Imperial War Museum
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
