But it&#8217;s bone dry up there, despite the recent rains, and even though it looks like there might be some damage, it doesn&#8217;t seem like it can be causing what we&#8217;re seeing with the drywall damage in the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SO: The good news is, we likely don&#8217;t need to get the whole roof replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BUT: The bad news is, we don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on, and now need to seek new causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s really easy to catastrophize: we were worried that we&#8217;d find a nest of mold up there and need to replace the whole roof. That isn&#8217;t the problem, so that bullet is dodged. But now we&#8217;ve got a deeper mystery: we have what looks like water damage in an area that is &#8211; apparently &#8211; dry, with no explanation. And that&#8217;s the thing about science: one thing can look like another, and causes can be hidden &#8211; so you need to take out the time to collect the observations and do the experiments and carefully check your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially if it can cost you a whole roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-the Centaur<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pictured: One from the archives &#8211; snow, likely from two years ago, as that frost killed most of that vine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night was date night, but we also had to climb up into the attic to see what&#8217;s up with this &#8220;leaky&#8221; roof.
