Probably then a bad/missing shingle, or one that is out of its' place. Causing water to go where it shouldn't.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

But what water? That's the headscratcher. It has not rained in a minute.

I was gonna try some sort of gutter pun but then remembered Stone actually released a song about his gutters

There goes your post.

Ah, I misread. Is it near your AC unit's condensation drain pipe? Otherwise it just sounds like a weird spot of condensation dripping down. I'm gonna need a picture.

Yeah, I'll send a photo when I get home. It's front right side of the house relative to the back left side that the AC unit is located, FWIW.

Stellar work reid

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

FWIW Reid I have the exact same problem (though only when it's rainy) and was told by a roofer basically not to worry too much about it. Like someone else said, it's probably just a shingle that's out of place. But yeah, finding the source of the water is a good idea.

once our kitchen was done we had a painter/repair guy here to finish up some stuff a couple weeks ago..he did a great job and real nice guy..i had told him to tell the architect how much we would owe and i'd send him a check..no problem..he showed up at our door yesterday a bit upset that he hadn't been paid yet..he said he called and left me 2 messages a week ago..I never received a single call..anyway, the architect gave him my phone number and he was 1 number off so left messages to someone in nyc since thats where my phone number still is...i felt bad and so did he..i gave him an extra $50 and am booking him for another upcoming job

ok, i'll bite.

why didn't you just give him a check when he finished a couple of weeks ago instead of adding another layer with the architect and the mail?

Running all of the gas out of the mower so I can store it for the winter

Mine has the bar you have to keep down against the handle to run. I just put a pair of pliers on it and walked away

What if it gets loose, rolls away, and runs over some poor child playing in the grass??
