I feel your pain...but good you got home before it got worse and as mentioned...it wasn't sewage
2 weeks before EJS I was getting my EJS wish list together - #1 on teh list was get a deal on a new rear axle. Well...I get home about a week before leaving and saw weird shadows under the eves, as I got closer I realized there were holes all over the place!!
Damn squirrels had gotten in my attic and chewed ventilation holes all over, #$^#$^#%$# rat bastards. Spent my axle budget and then some on getting the attic completely redone before I left, didn't want those bastard squirrels possibly chewing through the ceiling into the house while I was gone.
Had all the nests and old insulation (it was nasty with shit and all) removed, attic sterilized, new insulation blown in, all the holes repaired and all vents fitted with new heavier wire mesh to keep them out.
It never ends :doh:
