Yesterday I spend an hour going through some of my stuff in the mobile home. I noticed that one of my bags of fabric was all moldy. I wasn't sure how that happened since it was under a table. Today I went back in to continue sorting my stuff. When I stepped on the rugs in the hallway they were squishy. Not just damp but really squishy. So much for sorting. I decided to find out where the leak was coming from exactly. I mean, I knew it was leaking around the chimney and swamp cooler but it seemed to be travelling in the ceiling.
After ripping out part of the wet ceiling tiles I found one of the culprits. The water is coming in to the ducts, not exactly sure where, and they have corroded. There are a bunch of holes. I moved some of the things underneath the wet area and put a tarp down with buckets to catch any more water. The bad thing is I am not sure where the water is going to drip next time. I hope it rains when I am home so I can move the buckets in to position.
My Handyman hasn't gotten back to me with an estimate on fixing up the mobile home. I asked him to break it up in to categories, fix the roof, plumbing for kitchen sink, upgrade electric. Maybe fixing the roof won't cost very much.
