It's raining...indoors

So when we moved in the previous owners had put in a skylight over the shower in the bathroom. This was a nice perk when showering, looking at the trees, moon, clouds, passing airplanes... There was some evidence that it had been wet before, but I thought that was all fixed with the new work done on the bathroom and we did have one minor leak that I fixed with roofing cement back when the weather was nicer. Well, now when it rains, really rains, it starts leaking in the corner, and not in a nice convenient, next to the glass kind of way that would be easy to fix. Nope. The water is taking the path of least resistance and going down the inside of the roof, through the drywall and coming out at the bottom of the skylight tunnel. Unfortunately, with the weather being in the mid 30's here in Seattle, and rainy and dark I haven't got a chance to fix this issue.

Anyone out there have suggestions on leaking skylights?

The fun house....

Final push here to get done. Originally, I was going to leave the stairwell alone and just put new drywall up. However, there's a bit of a twist in the roof line, and when viewed from the bottom of the stairs it was quite evident that one side is lower than the other and it didn't look good.

I decided to "level" the ceiling out by firring it out. This did a couple things for me, in that it provided some room now to run wiring, and also add some more insulation. Hopefully, I'll have the drywall guys in here soon to finish this part up. Then on to the finish work.

I got a little bling from Amazon for the media room just before the weekend and just had to put them in and test them out, and there's a few more coming to finish off the room. You all can keep your speakers in boxes, I'll put mine in the wall. And as promised here's what things look like. More to come with the paint and built-ins going in.


I think we'll be painting the media room here soon too, as we've come up with some paint colors we like. Until then, if you get to Seattle, check this location out--I sea kayaked through 'em before gorging on turkey. And if you haven't had it yet the Anchor Christmas is tasteeee this year (remember it's different each year).
