You get to climb on the roof, in the roof, clean the gutters, paint the walls etc etc. Wait until you get solar, you will be up there cleaning the panels and calculating the cost of water vs the amount of electricity gained from the clean

If it rains enough tonight I'm going up there into ceiling again to make sure there's no actual water leaks on top of the A/C dripping one.

That "blue" rope tie thingo you can see I attempted to re-tie it but it didn't do the job well enough, so the ratchet strap gets involved... that drip-tray thingo that the white piping is connected to is meant to catch and then drain the drips/condensation from the air-con out to the guttering, but it had bent downwards (see the "v-shaped bit in the metal") and it had dropped down and was the new "low point" for the drips and it also allowed water to "drip" slowly through and that and "wet" the insulation and eventually got wet enough that the water made it through to the plasterboard of the ceiling and created wetting/cracking problems... annoying. That video is from earlier on a hot humid night where it wasn't raining so all of that "water" is from the A/C itself... And the fix: Now I have to repair the damaged ceiling plaster... fun. Might pay for a tradie to do that
