Hole in the Wall

Just after Christmas break, we noticed a leak in our kitchen ceiling and so started the drama! Maintenance guy comes...does not see a leak but proceeds to make a hole in the kitchen ceiling as well as in the bathroom. Maintenance guy says it is wet but he is not sure why so he patches part of the bathroom and says to call him when we see it leaking again. SO, of course, it leaks again a few days later and we can't get ahold of guy for hours. He finally comes back and then luckily a plumber gets called because guy doesn't know what he is doing and fixes the leak. However, holes and mess stay in our apt. Finally yesterday, apt manager calls different maintenance guy to come fix the holes and ceiling. He came by tonight to tell us what the plan is and says he can have it patched and completely fixed soon. It may take another day or two but at least the light is at the end of the tunnel!


This is the hole in the bathroom- it was bigger but that's what's there now.


And this is the kitchen ceiling...gross and discolored by the water.

Sad days. We had a leak in our roof before Christmas, it was a serious bummer! I hope you stay dry :)

We had a leak in our bathroom in the exact same location in our apt. It didn't go into the kitchen, but it was dripping in the bathroom doorframe. They ended up basically replacing the entire ceiling in our bathroom. Either way, it was pretty gross.

Ew. So gross. I HATE home repair/problems. It always means money out the door. Boo.

Missed you yesterday. Love the new presidency!
