In Search of the Leak's Source

Once the leak above the wetbar in the kitchen manifested itself, it was left to my general contractor Pete LaRoque to see if he could figure out where it's coming from. He also needed to get the leak captured so that we would minimize the possibility of damage from it, at least so far as the wetbar area is concerned.

By cutting a hole in the ceiling where the leak was showing itself, and checking from above in the Van Gogh bathroom, Pete was pretty confident we do not have a leaking toilet or supply line to that commode. Best he can see, the water is coming from the direction of the outside of the house, across the subflooring, and down the plumbing cut in the OSB to the drywall of the ceiling below, where the wetbar is. A bucket is catching the drip for now.
