Nothing like an attractive, independent woman willing to tackle plumbing issues! Mold can be a possibility with a leak like this and could pose some health issues for the occupants of your home. Twice per year, I perform a treament on my art studio - in a quart size jar, I mix one half vineagar with one half clorox and shut the doors for twenty-four hours, I don't enter the premises until time to air it out [ 24 hours) The chorine gas produced kills any mold in all the cracks and crevices. This stuff is toxic so you would need to hold your breath before the mixing, then get the hell out of the "cave" and close the trap door. Not a bad idea to do this juft before family and pets leave on a long weekend. - JF P.S. I'm not sure how I arrived at your site, but I think it was googling poetry of John Donne and you somehow came up. Good luck on the new semester!

The Varangian guard would be much more interesting. How nice is it that you have them to go back to...? :) I do realise of course that it is also nice not to live over a swamp.... Well done you on the plumbing fix and welcome to the 40s! I like to tell people 'this is what 40 looks like' when they make weird comments.... Guh. The Varangian guard would be much more interesting.
