Leaks

[avram]

I’d planned to go to the gym today, and maybe do a few other things, but the damned bathroom is leaking again. Last year it got bad enough that the ceiling collapsed before the plumber got around to doing anything about it, leaving me showering at the gym for a week. I’d hoped that the problem was fixed, but no.

So around 1 PM I hear water start pouring out of the top of the frame of the bathroom door. I rush a bucket over, and a little while later it spreads to an adjacent door-frame. I called the management office, and they said they’d get someone on it.

Nothing by 5 PM, so I went back online for a while. Now it’s almost 8, and I still haven’t heard anything, and clearly I’m not going to today.

get out while there's still time

Please get out of that place before it burns, falls over, and then sinks into the swamp. Your other friends will help you, and it really might save your life.

You are far too valuable to be lost to anybody's criminally cheap-ass attitudes to maintenance and safety.

If nothing else, call them and point out that if it's pouring out of the doorframe, chances are pretty good that you're only getting some of the water. The rest of it is going someplace and doing damage: the meter is running on the cost of repairs.
