My baby sprung a leak
Monday, April 23rd, 2007
So I’ve had a busy week at work and just wanted to relax and do absolutely nothing this past weekend, so of course something went wrong.
As if you didn’t already know I purchased my condo….well technically the bank owns it
… and I absolutely love this place. It has an absolutely gorgeous southern view of the Salt Lake Valley. It has become my baby and it has been defiled!!! No I’m not really that upset about it, I was a little freaked out by this bubble that had suddenly formed on my ceiling sometime between Thursday and Sunday. Wondering what I had done wrong I poked a hole to get it to drain and hopefully dry out. Then I called the guy who fixes everything in our building and he suggested talking to my upstairs neighbor who’s washer, water heater and bathroom were all directly above the spot where the bubble had formed. It’s a good thing that he did suggest that because as it turns out my neighbor had turned off his washer faucets in preparation for getting a new washer. In the process had loosened the packing in the knob just enough that it began to drip into the wall. Not a large drip mind you, but over the course of 3 days that it took to make it down to me it all adds up. My neighbor is pretty cool and wasted no time in working it out to call his insurance company to get the damage repaired. So hopefully in the next week or two my ceiling will be back to the way it was with no bubble, holes and most important……..water!
