| We decided to repair our ceiling because every time rain fall the rain keeps falling also inside the house. |

| Try fixing the roof before bothering with the ceiling. |

| Not much point in fixing the ceiling if your work is going to be ruined the next time it rains. Fix the roof first. |

| Some folks in the small town near our build have had tarps on their house ever since we've been going up there, quite a few years now. I guess when times were good, you would see new tarps which probably felt like a new roof to them. Last time up we noticed they finally got a new roof no doubt ending endless ceiling repairs. Feeling good for those folks...get your roof fixed! |

| Thanks for the advice highly appreciated! Actually it costs us so much in fixing the roof and nothing happened. I think the design in installing our roof and water pipes has a conflict. So we have to remove the entire roof to see what was really the cause of these endless leaks in our ceiling. Thanks. |

| it would be worthwhile to hire someone to identify the leakage sites. pipe penetrations thru the roof requires a boot. often times the boot has worn out. this is a very affordable repair. best of luck. |

| I have asked someone who has skills in solving this problem and I'm studying the cost of repair and materials. |
