For a 116 year old house it has surprisingly very few issues when if comes to leaks. There's only been two in the 16/17 years I've lived here. One from plumbing stack on the roof that ran down the pipe and dripped into the garbage pail in the main bathroom on the second floor. We removed the access panel to give it a direct drip line to the pail. After the weather turned nice the bf had enough mojo to hoist himself up onto the roof from the fire escape and shimmy over and make the repair. The other was years ago when they renoed the deck and fire escape and didn't install/attach it correctly so it was leaking between the addition that was built onto the kitchen/back of the house.
I also discovered that my little visitor (@z10user4 favourite critter) wasn't visiting me as often as t thought......
No, no, no drones won't do.....the cats are very effective. The squirrels have learned that if they get anywhere near the ground its game over. All other"vermin" have disappeared in a 3 block radius with minty disappearing for days at a time looking for live prey and Marcus keeping the squirrels high and dry.

Look he came back to say good morning! In an old house like ours its the lesser of two evils. Squirrels or rats? America chose trump. I prefer the fluffy tail of a squirrel. Minty and Marcus take care of the rats.....and the occasional squirrel. It's better than the critters next door.....the skunk family lives under bathroom addition in the back and rocky the raccoon and her brood live in the big cedar in the front. Choices, choices.....
