…A plumber is here this morning to take a look at things. Of course it was important to first contact everyone’s insurance company…
…They are making a test of the leak, running water upstairs. "ça commence! l’inondation a commencé" We spent so much time cleaning up things yesterday and the day before… It was almost dry! Now water is coming down from the ceiling in streams…
…They say it is a big problem, not easily fixed. I don’t quite understand the French, so I ask my wife to translate for me later. They will try to access the pipes from upstairs. However, there may be a possibility that they will have to break through our ceiling to fix the problem. This will happen while we are away, of course.
To think of all dust generated breaking through the plaster and the ancient beams… It’s not going to be pretty when we get back…
