1. I must admit to being curious, but also knowing it's none of my business as to why you've needed/still need all the surgery. I can't even imagine the strain it must put on you over the years. *hugs* I hope you get the surgery you've hoped for soon.

2. Damn. :(

3. Eeep. Could you not somehow get the SES or someone to shore it up from the roof with some plastic sheeting or somthing? Water coming in doesn't sound all that healthy. *Hugs* You are resourceful though.

4. You live in such a great spot.
