Water through ceiling = major cleaning effort. So far, two rooms, 18 bags of garbage, 3 bags of clothing, 2 bags of toys, 1 bag of electrical gadgets, 1/2 bag movies, 1/2 bag mail. I'm very proud of myself for sorting these things out and putting them away vs. bagging everything up together and hiding them in a cranny somewhere. Thank you to everyone who helped me in my "throw away" thread. Your encouragement and advice is panning out.

Dear Meta, I feel your pain. I've had water coming in through the ceiling and floor at the same time. Be proud of all the work you've done. messymimi

Are you having to replace drywall (or whatever) on the ceiling? I have about 6 places in my house about 3x4ft that need replacing due to water damager from the leak in my attic plumbing.
First I want insulation, then drywall work. I wish I oculd do it myself... I think I could do a wall repair, but the ceiling is practically impossible for one pair of hands... inexperienced ones at that.

I flirted with the idea of putting molding around the hole and putting in a big ceiling tile to make it look like an attic entrance. Given the position, it wouldn't really look out of place, and that is something I can do myself until we can afford for someone else to come in and do it. BUT, realistically, the chances of anyone seeing it regardless are very slim. We'll probably leave it (just hopefully not for too long. )
