I was chuckling about B.'s Arizona comment, but water leaks and all the damage done sure are no fun. Go away curse and leave our Kari alone!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-woes-rant#post-753376 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 23:31:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 753376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoo hoo for a fab maintenance man! Glad you're all dry now Kari. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-woes-rant#post-753057 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 14:31:43 +0000 Angie 753057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awful!! And it's rainy season. </p> <p>Thank goodness you and B are sorted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-woes-rant#post-752890 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 03:59:27 +0000 Kari 752890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, thank goodness. We called emergency maintenance, and learned that our maintenance person is not only a super nice guy who went up on the roof in that nasty weather to investigate the leak, but that he's our next door neighbor. By the time I came home today all was repaired, and it actually looks better than ever.</p> <p>It's one of the situations where I'm very glad to be renting.</p> <p>I'm just... cursed! It's bizarre. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-woes-rant#post-752885 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 03:47:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 752885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief Kari! What horrible luck. Is your landlord looking after the repairs - I hope? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-woes-rant#post-752834 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 02:33:34 +0000 rae 752834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MAN. I hope the landlord is taking care of you in the new apartment. Be safe and warm in the mean time! :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-woes-rant#post-752269 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 17:24:58 +0000 Sylvie 752269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! Maybe you're secretly a rain goddess in disguise? (Trying to find a bright side to this) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-woes-rant#post-752181 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:45:54 +0000 annagybe 752181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that's horrid! Hope they fix the roof and the ceiling soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-woes-rant#post-751876 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 04:09:24 +0000 Kari 751876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-its-nice-to-have-an-easy-fallback-outfit">this</a>, when I mentioned that I had a big leak in the ceiling of my old apartment from a bust pipe?</p> <p>And then - I don't think I mentioned it - we had another similar leak in the kitchen ceiling shortly before we moved.</p> <p>(I've had this happen in every residence at least once while I was living there - multiple leaks/floods in the apartments I lived in during college, a burst/leaky dishwasher that destroyed kitchen floors in my parents' house and then later on a shower that started leaking under the floor, and then the HUGE flood of doom where several inches of water poured in under the doors and through the ceiling a week after moving into an apartment... and then the two in B's and my former residence.)</p> <p>Well, I thought I had beaten my karma by moving to a top-floor residence in our new place. But it's windy as heck and raining cats and dogs - I had to have B. park my car because I couldn't see well enough to back up. Finally got home (I've been away at the YLF meetup and then pet-sitting for the past week) and... the roof is leaking water into our kitchen through our kitchen ceiling.<br /> As it so happens, our ceilings were painted yesterday.</p> <p>Jeez louise. I feel badly for B. living with me, as water leaks seem to follow me regardless of where I go. He said that I should probably try living in Arizona! </p>
