Finding the leak

So we have a leak some place in the roof, and I ventured up in the attic space today to find it.

Now the attic is only accessible through an access panel in the closet in my craft and hobby room. As seen here.




Now to be able to fit the ladder in the closet to get into the space I had to empty out the closet. I now have this mess to deal with.....




So I finally venture forth into the attic and despite knowing where the leak should be I could not find it. So now I have a huge mess and still have a leak I will have to go in search of the next time it rains.



I did notice we might have an electrical issue though so now we have to find an electrician. Oh the joys of home ownership.
