TARP plan fails to save homes underwater

Given how many holes we cut in the roof this week, it's surprising that so little rain came in. Nonetheless, buckets and towels are the theme of the day.

The hole formerly known as the bedroom skylight did not leak at all.

The hole soon to contain the elevator shaft became quite weepy, but it's tears largely fell straight down into the garage through the hole formerly known as the living room floor.

While holes are the main story on the second floor, the main story on the first floor continues to be bracing and shoring. 16 to 20 new angle braces are holding the old first floor beam in place. The pit for the elevator shaft has been dug, re-barred and partially filled with cement.
