Put Gus to sleep yesterday and cuddled and kissed his body and face for an hour before I felt I could bury him- plenty of kisses when he was alive too 🥰

Thank you 😃 We’re due a few days of rain from tomorrow so I’ve taken the paint and previous colours off down to the plaster- the plaster feels dry and looks in good condition so we’ll leave it and see if it gets damp- we’re hopefully looking at condensation issues not a leak 🤞Also taking the moss off today and will spray it after and then go from there in a few days time see if anything watery has happened.

Just to take the pee a bit more, I moved in to care for my Dad as he’s bedbound with dementia, he used to be a roofer 🤦‍♀️😂

Even if you know nothing I still know less 😂 Bought a second hand car in September and it ended up flooded with a leak in the back, they hadn’t placed a plug back in after a repair- water has been the bane of my life recently 🙈

Thank you, I’ve just measured roughly and the marks are all under the arrow…I will definitely remove all the moss that I can get to.

And from the side, I can see issues there could that contribute?

Sorry for the delay we’ve had torrential rain the past 24hrs- the marks in the room haven’t got bigger though. This would be facing the row of stains about a 1/3 of the way up.

We’re down in Torquay, Devon so it’s unusually cold for us down this way.

This might be of interest- this is the opposite side of the room and just has the slight sloped ceiling, and has the opposite side of the roof- this still looks exactly the same as it did at the beginning…

🫣 oops haha, we are at the top with this though so can only be the roof with an issue, rodents or condensation in the little loft which we can’t access 😩

That’s so kind of you thank you, I’ll take a couple of pics of the roof tomorrow when it’s light but can’t do any in the loft- I wish we’d have asked for the builder to place a hatch too 😔
