I just don't get it... if you're going to address a problem, do it right the first time! Why do homeowners think they're going to save money with a jury rig solution? It's your house isn't it? Hell, it keeps us in the trades busy, often with a much larger repair... Do you do the same thing with the brakes on the car that your wife drives your kids around in?

The thing is it is so much easier to repair it right the first time, I found that trying to patch the issue is just having to fix it twice. no mater what water always finds it's way thru any thing, and is the most distructive. it takes as much time if not more to fix it right the first time.

It's called being LAZY

Seriously, I've been fixing problems with this house the "right way" since day one...I'm tired. I just want a little drip to stop for a while, not run new lines from the basement...which is what it would take to do this right. It's such a hack-job to begin with it doesn't make any sense to patch into what's already an imperfect job.
