The ceiling light seems dimmer than usual, so you remove the globe of the ceiling light, and find the globe is full of water.

Your turn ...

Upstairs shower drain.

Guess I should have used more sealant. :banana:
 
Just leave the heat off in your house. The ice will form a seal around the leak until spring.
 
gol dern it - why didn't I think of that!
 
Or you could refrain from showering.... An easy cheap fix :jester:
 
As I was replacing the tub/shower here, building the shower "from scratch" I suggested Herself could strip down and I'd spray her down with the garden hose in the back yard...

I do not recommend suggesting this. My necrotic tissue is now hidden with long sleeve shirts. :smirk:
 
This guy works cheap -


hmmm - come to think of it, I think he did the original work.

when I did our bathroom,took the tub out and put in a 5' long shower enclosure, +vanity ,+floor. Took over a month, son showered outside with a hose (well water cccold) better half and I went to the local pool and showered before getting into the pool and after and swam for 2 hrs. However went to the legion for lunches and that nullified any benefit the swim did.:cool:
 
Ouch. Just remember the cheap can be expensive. Good luck on remedying your problem. Me, I'd call a plumber.
 
A few years ago my friend had a leak in his daughter's upstairs bathroom that dumped right into his wife's very expensive 8 foot Steinway. After the major repair, he liked the piano where it was so left it there. Only to have the same happen a couple years later. The Steinway is still under the bathroom but the daughter has long since married and moved to Boston.
