Yikes!

Seriously, I hope the leaks don't get worse. Hang in there, bud.

Thanks Bob!! We will get through it though, I'm sure. Timing was just shitty.
I'll be sure to host many tryouts *g*

Yuor roof, and my car, again. Your problem is holes above, mine was holes below... big sunken manhole in a steeply inclined parking lot.

Ouch!! Well, I do feel your pain as well. I think a good round of alcoholism is in order :)
