There's a happy ending to yesterday's water debacle. It turns out that the source for the puddle on the new basement rug was the overwatering of a plant on the first floor. Water dripped from the table to the floor, through the floorboards, and into the basement. I identified the culprit later in the evening, about two hours after we had spent close to an hour searching the attic and walls for evidence of leakage from winter rains and snow melt. During the search, we had discussed a new roof, home equity lines, and how bad things always seem to happen to homeowners. But in the end, we had a good laugh.
