ghetto style

my toilet has a slow leak at the base of it. I would guess that the rubber seal isn't seated properly. But if I pull the little carpet out a few inches, the water spreads out and then gets absorbed by the carpet. So I leave the exhaust fan on all the time and the water evaporates. It's a good system.
I got home today to a drip drip sound in the shower area. The ceiling looked wet and there was a dark spot. Upon closer inspection, it was a hole in the sheet rock. There was a damp mark encircling the hole. Apparently the drip started in the last day, soaked the sheet rock until the force of the drip from a hanging pipe above the ceiling slowly opened a hole about the size of a nickel. Now the drip comes straight through to the tub. "Nothing but net". Eventually the dry wall will dry out and the drip will just keep coming through the hole! No Worries.
I do plan on moving in the next few weeks so I don't care about getting this fixed because that would suck up my precious weekend. The handi-man would certainly make a mess in my bathroom too.
Living large in the ghetto!
