Next adventure
I don't know if I've mentioned this here before, but for several months we've been hearing a loud, rumbling noise, like a train, running through our ceiling. Our neighbor upstairs has had the same noise in her floor, so we were pretty sure it was coming from a pipe or something in between our units. The three of us have been alternately nagging the management company to try and get them to figure out what's causing it, and fix it. But of course when they send someone over, they don't hear the noise.
When I got home from doing errands yesterday, there was a guy from the heating company in the furnace room (which is next to our unit - we're in the basement). I asked him if he knew what was causing the noise, and he told me that they figured out that the casing on the boiler was cracked, so it wasn't maintaining the needed pressure, and had to keep pulling in more water. He said they were going to be fixing it soon and that should take care of the noise. Yay!
Well, when sdavido got home tonight (while I was at the aforementioned movie), he found a guy from the management company in the furnace room. Apparently the boiler cracked the rest of the way sometime during the night, so the furnace room was flooded... and we now have no heat or hot water. Yeeek! The guy gave us a space heater to use for now, which was nice of him, but I don't know what we're going to do about showers and such. (If it takes too long, we might have to go over to my mother's.) Thankfully it's not too cold outside, but it's still a bit chilly in here... I really hope they're able to fix it soon!
