This is the ceiling in our bedroom, it is also the roof of the house. Notice the spots of light along the beam [three are visible if you look carefully, the last next to the light]. These are not electric lights nor skylights, these sre holes.
We had the hardest rain yet last night. When it rains hard, I can feel spray drops coming through the nearest hole while lying in bed. Not alarming in itself, actually reminds me of camping. But last night it did get me to thinking "where else does this roof leak?" With the intensity of the downpour I was imagining water pouring down upon our suitcases, still strewn around the bedroom floor. The light of a bedside flashlight allayed that fear. All was right, in spite of the thunderous beating of water on the roof.
This is our shower, one of the nicest I've seen in Guatemala [or anywhere for that matter]. It's large and recessed. Last night during the downpour Raquel smelled "that smell" [Ooh ooh that smell!]. The sewer had backed up into the shower. I splashed it clean with large bowls of water after it had receded.
Raquel also doused it bleach before showering this morning.
ReplyDeleteThere's clean. And then there's Guatemala clean!😀🤔😛
DeleteGuess that's why it is recessed, just imagine if it wasn't...that would really mean "YUCK"
