When DIY stands for "dammit-yikes!"
My dad came up for a visit tonight! Yay!
And then he broke my apartment! ... *facepalm*
There was excess ice in my little mini refrigerator. Annoying, sure, but not a huge problem. Sadly, I made the rookie mistake of showing him where I kept my tools. The next thing you know, he's using a screwdriver and hammer like a chisel and going all Michelangelo on its ass while I hovered nearby wringing my hands melodramatically. And the next-next thing you know, there is "Uh-oh" and hissing and white gas leaking out of the fridge...
Apparently he punctured the side of the fridge and all the freon gas escaped. So now I am without a working fridge until Maintenance can help me out.
On the bright side, now I know how fridges work! Also, I am indulging in a picnic of perishables. Yogurt, anyone? Another glass of milk? *g*
Farewell, dear damage deposit, farewell! I hardly knew ye!
