April Showers bring headaches… By Jason 31 March 2008 at 7:02 am 220 views

It’s not quite April yet, but it looks like the storms have started a day early. Not only did it rain all night, it’s looking like it’ll continue through most of today:

Raining again

Now, I love storms… I really do, but some of you may remember back in October when I complained about our leaking roof. I left off with the following paragraph:

That’s right, after months of telling the management that we can hear dripping when we stand in the kitchen, and them saying they’ve fixed it, the water that’s been slowly rotting the roof broke through right next to the light on the ceiling (I’m sure that’s good for the wiring). Nice. So here I sit, missing work, waiting for the roofers and the maintenance crew to get their collective butts up here to fix this. Sigh They’d better get here soon, seriously…

Well, if soon meant “5 months later we’d still be waiting for them”, then they may get here soon. That’s right! After many calls and many excuses by the management as to why it hasn’t been fixed yet (they’re too busy, now it’s too wet, now it’s too cold, now it’s too whatever I can come up with), this is what we get this morning:

Raining again

Raining again

Sweet… that looks familiar (note the new crack).  For those wondering, it’s white now because it got painted over… not fixed.  So I wonder what the excuse will be today? “Too wet,” maybe? “Too busy,” possibly? Maybe we should just get too busy to pay rent? I wonder how well that would go over? It’s not like we’ve been forced out of our house recently because their faulty equipment started a fire, and it’s definitely not like we’ve ever had issues here before.  Updates whenever they happen, perhaps next year some time.
