Oh great...

We've got water damage in the apartment. The water intake pipe of our diswashing machine has apparently been leaking. We had a plastic thingy under the machine that was supposed to cause any leaks to come on the floor in front of the machine, but for some reason it hasn't worked and instead the machine had been leaking between the plastic thing and the wall, and from there under our less than a month old floor. And from there though the concrete to the apartment below us.

Of course, since the whole thing happened out of sight, no-one noticed anything until water started coming down from the ceiling of the apartment below. And even then two people had to come here separately to check if anything was wrong and decide everything was OK. Only when Maria started looking into it and moved the diswashing machine did we discover the truth.

Well, the good news is that she called the insurance agency and our insurance should cover this. The bad news is that the concrete needs to dry for an undefined time and we might have to move to a temporary apartment. Which would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that we just moved here a month ago and the cat decidedly hates moving. I'm not looking forward to the process of moving him away and then back again...
