Not too. We knew there was a leak in that garage when we bought the house. Its roof needs replacing and we're planning to raise it so there's room for a car hoist, but it will be $10K+ and that's out of budget right now.

We were so vigilant and read numerous LIM reports when house hunting. I can tell you where almost every flood plane is in central Lower Hutt! We're technically in the clear zone, but our back yard pools during heavy downpours. We know the garage leaks. It needs $$$ to fix it but, alas, no income.

Also a happy-sad memory of always keeping a towel by the bed for when Casey puss puss would play in the rain, come in to be dried, then go back out to play again.

Oh my! Wishing you a comfortable and speedy recovery. I can imagine how frustrating it is for you to not be able to do all the things you need/want to do right now.

It's not always transparent. But often convenience (feeling good and being able to donate small amounts) will trump mindfully donating where it's needed most.
