The Joys of Apartment Life

"I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel." ~ Audrey Hepburn


I got a nice surprise when I came home from my recent visit to Indy.  A section of my living room carpet was saturated with no evidence of where the water had come from.  ???  I called the office the next day to let them know about the "leak", hoping I would be moved to another apartment (story for another day).  Somebody came by while I was out and wet-vacced, leaving a damp spot.  "Ok", I decided, "I'll give it the weekend to dry and call on Monday."  By that time I had decided the water was coming up thru the foundation.


Over the weekend we had a really good storm with tornadoes, hail and everything.  I checked the spot and sho 'nuff, it was soaked again...  and worse.  The plumber finally got here yesterday (it's been a week now), checked for and found leaking pipes.  He's here today to fix the pipes and hopefully solve the problem of the soaked carpeting.  We shall see; more rain this weekend...   


(contented purring) aaaahhhhhh, the joy of living in an apartment.    :)
