this should sound familiar

today the rain poured down inside my apartment once again. yes indeed for the third time in the last two years there was water flowing from above into by bathroom. i knocked on my upstairs neighbors door, no answer. i knocked on the third floor apartment above mine, no answer.

so i call sean - the upstairs neighbor, he's in the city. he jumps into cab. 45 minutes after the deluge starts, he gets home and in fact the water is not from his place but is from the third floor. we don't know to do. the joan the very mean condo board treasure comes in yelling and bitching...

cut to me calling 311, who summons the fire department. they show up, pry open the door and find that the water line from the washer has busted and is gushing water. this must have been going on for several hours. hundreds of gallons of water must have flowed through the building.

my apartment is in shambles.
but now it is dry. thankfully aaron, the condo board president had a wet vac that helped to get much of the remaining water up.

so then sean and i had a bit of jamesons and a bit to smoke and was able to let much of the stress go.

i never want to deal with this again. three times is enough.

i guess it is good that my bathroom ceiling has never been fixed from the last two times this has happened.
