Another day of screaming
|
Another day of screaming Here i am thinking that things are going pretty good but then life has to throw me another curve ball and i go to screaming again. memorial weekend was a pretty uneventful weekend. believe me that is the way i wanted it to be. honestly i probably should have driven out to the farm to spend time with the family and put flowers on the graves but i just didn't feel up to a 8 1/2 hr round trip in the car so i stayed home. to me that wasn't that big of a deal, but i swear that i'm paying for not going now. lol monday night around 11pm i go into my bedroom to go to bed. i take one step into the bedroom door and the floor was wet where i stepped. mind you when i walk into the bedroom at night it is completely dark in there, so the first thought that i had was " did bear have an accident that i didn't know about" well i make it to the bed and get my bedside light turned on and i see this fairly good sized wet spot on the floor. i then realized that i hadn't taken my night meds so i get back up and come back out to the living room to get them, step opposite of this wet spot to make sure that i didn't get a wet foot again and it is wet there as well. one thing that you would have to know about the carpet in my apartment if you get it wet then you can tell that it is wet, it is a tan carpet and when it gets wet it turns to a dark brown. at this point i know that there is something wrong, so here i am at 11pm calling into the maintenance to let them know that there is water pooling on my bedroom floor with no obvious signs of where it is coming from. the maintance (a little 19 yr old that really doesn't know much) calls me to let me know that he will be here at 9:30 in the morning in order to get it looked at. okay i am okay with that it will get fixed in the morning no biggie... yeah right if my life would be so easy. bear decided to wake me up at 3 am that morning and i couldn't get back to sleep. so we watched tv and waited for the maintenance man to come and look at the floor. well 9:30 comes and goes and no one shows up. around noonish i went up to the office and asked if they were going to come and look at it. finally one of the guys comes over and changes out the compressor line on the air conditioner and he goes to leave and i say "well what about the water pooling on my bedroom floor" his response was " oh i don't know anything about that" mmmmmmm DUH that is what i called them about to begin with. so this guy goes into my bedroom and looks to see if he can find the source of where this water is coming from. and even he couldn't find it, told me that it was dry all the way up to the wall and he had no idea where it was coming from, and that i needed to put some towels down to soak it up. so i asked them to come back with a wet/dry vac to soak it up. so i watched some more tv and napped on the couch (that way if they came to the door i would hear them) well by 5 pm they hadn't shown back up. so wed morning bright and early i go into the office. oh they will be there this afternoon to take care of your floor is what i was told. 4pm comes and no maintenance show up so i call the office and get the machine, yeah that isn't going to stop me (i know that the office workers look at the caller id before they answer the phone and if it isn't someone they want to talk to then they let it go to the machine) so i give it 30 more minutes and walk up to the office. talk to the lady in the office and she is frustrated when i tell her that they didn't show up so she calls them right away to find out what was going on and to get them to the apartment. the maintenance guy (the 19 yr old) comes in while i am still in there pissed off because he has to deal with this. sorry but there is water building up on my floor and i am not going to just "sweep it under the rug" by this point i am getting frustrated myself because it hasn't been fixed. hell this was the 2nd full day. well he comes over and pulls the carpet away from the wall says that he heard a spongy noise when he did so, so it has to be because the 3rd floor water heater had a leak in it, and the 2nd floor condensor on their a/c unit was froze up and this is the reason i have water pooling in my bedroom. at this point i was like " you have to be fucking kidding me" i have to suffer because the 2 idiots that live above me didn't get in touch with maintenance when their shit broke?? well why he was trying to rationalize this the office sent over carpet cleaning (my best guess was they were suppose to suck up the water in the carpet) well it didn't work, now not only did i have a spot that i could jump over i now have a 4 1/2 foot section as wide as my door that extends out in my hall that is SOAKING WET. by 7pm i pulled down my box fan and got it set up in the hall to assist in drying this carpet out. ya know i figured that the box fan would have helped some but it didn't .. that thing has been running on high all night and the carpet is still soaked when i got up this morning. i even put 2 towels to cover enough area for me to walk (and try not to have cold wet feet) and they are soaked this morning as well as the carpet. this morning i am going back to the office. i'm ready to give them the ultimatum that if it isn't dry by tonight then they need to move me to another apartment complex that they own that doesn't have this issue. and they will be paying for all my transfer fees in order to have everything changed to the new apartment. (those fees are around $120 hence why they will be paying them) |

Good grief! As a home owner, I often long for a maintenance free apartment/condo, but the grass isn't always greener, is it?? Unless, of course, you plant some in your bedroom lol. I hope they get that stick out of their rear and get you set right today! If they fix I and you do not move, be sure they prevent mold from growing where it was wet.
