Comming Home To Brazil

Do you remember Terry Gilliam's Brazil? In particular, I mean the scene after Archibald 'Harry' Tuttle fixed the plumbing of Sam Lowry and the boys from Central Services came back with the correct form and removed many of the wall panels, spewing ducts and other pipes and tubing (looking like disembowelled intestines) into his living space. Well, I had a similar image, when I came home today:






There was a defective seal below the wash basin of the bathroom, which was dropping with a rate of one drop per minute for months. The water dropped behind the tiles, which kept it from being discovered until the opposite wall in the bedroom started going mouldy.

The machines will have to run for further three weeks. All data are constantly monitored by Central Service (via radio). We are sleeping in the guest bed. Visitors are welcomed, however, we kindly ask them not to stay over night.
