End of wet season reality check in Bali 🏡😅 When the rain slows down, the maintenance begins. We could see where the water was getting in during the season, but actually getting a tukang has been another story… and you need dry weather for waterproofing to even work, which adds another layer to it all. Living in a long-term rental here can be a bit of a grey area too. Depending on your agreement, some things fall to the owner… and some things you just end up taking care of yourself to get it sorted. This wet season was actually much better than our first in this house. We fixed a lot of leaks and damp walls last year, so it’s definitely improved… but water always finds a way. And once it’s in, it’s not just the damage… it’s the damp smell, the mould, the peeling paint. It’s one of those things you need to stay on top of quickly. So now we wait… still trying to lock in a tukang before the next rain rolls through 🤞 Bali life… always something 😅
