the good, the bad and the ugly

Here's the good:
We put the first coat of clear gloss sealer on the floor in my bedroom.



Then we noticed the bad: a new water leak in the ceiling in the bedroom. Keep in mind this is DOWNSTAIRS, so there is no attic to climb into and check out pipes.



And the ugly. In an attempt to find where the leak was coming from, we cut into the wall in the computer room. On the other side of this hole is the sink in the upstairs bathroom and it was easier to cut into this wall to search for a leak source than remove the cabinet the sink is in in the bathroom.


Right as Dad and I are ripping apart the wall, Mom comes in with reason and says, "I hope it's not the new air conditioner leaking into the wall." And, of course, she was right. Seems when the guys connected the AC's drain line into the vent, they didn't seal it properly and now water is leaking out. The white pipe in this photo is the drain line. The black you see is the poor, rubberized-tape attempt to seal this connection. Obviously it failed, and we have the sopping wet sheetrock to proove it. They'll try to come fix it tomorrow, but I expect it'll be more like Monday.
