When There's a Hole in the Ceiling It's Easier to See Where the Water Comes In

It just makes sense, doesn't it?

Remember the mysterious pool of water on my kitchen floor?

Only a few minutes ago I was sitting here doing my morning LJ read when I heard the unexpected but all-too-familiar sound of water splashing onto the floor.

I raced into the dining room, and there was a copious amount of water dropping through the still unsealed place in the wall-ceiling joint where the drywall was replaced when the pipe replacement was done a few weeks ago. My dinner table was pushed up against that wall, and a print-out about a class I want to take got splashed, but fortunately the water missed some oversize stills and lobby cards from my movie photo collection. (Maybe I should start collecting blow-up rubber balls and pool toys instead??)

When I went upstairs, there was a small pool of water on the floor of the entryway (directly above my waterfall), but no obvious source.

And it was just the one short burst of water coming through to my space. It's not continuing to drip.

WTF????

I have no idea, except that when something similar happened in my old apt, it was because the water actually pooled up a bit, then broke through, then had to start pooling up a bit (yep, I am SOOOO technical early in the morning after only 1 cup of coffee).
