Apartment........How I Hate Thee.................Becky

It's TRUE....

 I have to keep reminding myself I only have to tolerate it here until May.

I hate that now, but we didn't find a house we liked in time to get one before releasing. And staying here ONE more year will help out cause we'll have our car paid off....so yeah.

 11 more months......... I should be thankful....our neighbors aren't too loud. I think having 2 kids...we're the loud ones. LOL

But really. I'm at my wits end... Wanna see my new friend??

 

I almost felt guilty....squishing the little guy.  I mean you can see his eyes in the picture! 'please don't squish me!'  WELL you should have stayed OUT then!

 That's not a HUGE deal.....really I'm getting to the icing on the cake.

 Did I mention we had a tornado blow through a couple weeks ago? Yeah...

Well my sink was having issues draining today....so I needed to call. Hello...clogged?....but the girls were napping. So I made the executive decision to wait until they woke up to call and report it..

A short bit later the girls wake up and they and I were in the bedrooms....and I had to go out to the kitchen for something. And....it's RAINING in my apartment.  Um....I'm on the first floor.....there are several above me.

 See a huge problem here?

 Yeah.

So I call in a panic  letting them know, hey it's raining in my apartment, in the hall way....by a light fixture.  So of course Iam forced to use good bowls to catch nasty drippings. Oh yeah and please fix my sink while your at it! (I could have told them the toilet too...the hinge is broken! UGH but...bigger fish to fry)

 One of the guys comes in.....'oh yeah that's a problem'  YA THINK?

 He goes upstairs....... comes back down about an hour later telling me there's a 'problem'  (No....really?)  That the apartments above us flooded.  I guess....the top level and it's trickled down.  Um nice.  So they had to spend two hours wet vacing those apartments. Thankfully I was quick with the bowls so we didn't need ours wet vaced.

Then they had to snake the drains. (their not in my apartment at this time) And suddenly I hear something.....like some bowels are moving, and the stentch hits me..........

I'll just show you

 

Ummm yeah.

 No worries. it gets worse *Cries...* HOW...

 So my handy dandy maintance guy comes back....turns tail and runs when he sees the bowels of the sewer crawling up my sink.....muttering not so nice things on his way out.....

Plumber comes in...fiddles for a while.

 HE CAN'T FIX IT....

It gets better.

 they have to come in tomorrow to REMOVE my counters/cupboards/flooring to 'fix' it....

YEAH THANKS SECOND AND THIRD FLOOR! YOUR THROWING JUNK DOWN YOUR DISPOSAL AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY.

 

Not literally but...yeah.

 My apartment stinks.

 

Have I mentioned lately how I hate apartments.!?.........11 more months, 11 more months 11 more months!!!

 Now, if you'll excuse me, we have to go *OUT* to dinner tonight because of the kitchen issue!  And get 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds of air freshner.

Date: 6/30/2008 4:04:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16845    Hope no one just ate! LOL  
Date: 6/30/2008 4:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 14909    Been there done that. Glad you killed that spider cuz it's a Brown Recluse.  
Date: 6/30/2008 4:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 63962    I am SOOOOO lucky! I gripe and moan about the noise from the next door people (who aren't that noisy really)?! I won't now after seeing what some other people have to go through!! I have a great landlord too! I wish I could just copy my apt. experience and clone my landlord and maintenance people and send them your way!!!! LOL  
Date: 6/30/2008 4:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 63962    Oh and I must say to Creech, that I have spiders like that in my apt; they are really tiny and I kill them often during the summers. (One is crawling around in my bedroom and I'm waiting for her. LOL Her siblings already got flushed down the toilet. I don't think they're Recluses though because the pic looks just like the ones I have, and we don't have Recluses in Washington.  
Date: 6/30/2008 4:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 25390    OMG I'm having issues today too!!! The water main busted and we have NO water...yeahm, that's great. *sigh*  
Date: 6/30/2008 4:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 25390    That's not a brown recluse. Looks more like a wolf spider.....which are harmless, but still scarey looking!!

Date: 6/30/2008 4:47:00 PM  ( Chatmin-Co )   Becky.... man, want me to come over an have a go at fixing. im sure i could get it done before the tradies
Date: 6/30/2008 4:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 21839    I am praying for you.. do they have another apartment you can move into since this looks like its going to take a while to get it fixed.. I pray you get something better real soon or they get it fixed today!  
Date: 6/30/2008 4:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 61847    Ewww! That spider was icky!! Lol only a few more months!! Count them down or something. You can make it a game with your girls. Lol *hugs*  
Date: 6/30/2008 4:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 27623    Ahhhhhhh, yea, my butt wouldn't even step foot back in that joint EVER again! NO WAY! The spider would have done me in, and to top it off, the sinks! I learned by my friend's experience that if I'm to move into an apartment complex, i should move to the TOP floor! Few bugs, NO clogs! God bless you for putting up w/ that and good luck!  
Date: 6/30/2008 4:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 15157    Aw Hun! I'm sorry you are going thru all this!:-(  
Date: 6/30/2008 4:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 61847    Oh I forgot to add, back last year when I lived in the dorms of my college, it would dribble in our shower. It was always coming from the ceiling (we had a handicapped shower since my suitemate was handicapped. Nice and BIG. LOL) Everytime I would call they would come out the next day, say nothing is wrong with it. And leave. So finally I start hearing what sounds like RAIN. I look and it is raining, yes RAINING in my shower and bathroom. I call the number and say someone better get over here NOW. 2 hours and 5 RA's later there are maintence in my dorm. It was a party in the hallway. Lol, the water was coming from a dorm 2 floors up and across building (which wasn't BIG but still). Yeah it was someone's SHOWER water. Thankfully I never took a shower while it was raining. Yuck! *hugs*  
Date: 6/30/2008 4:58:00 PM  From Authorid: 28848    ugh thats awful. I hope things get better.  
Date: 6/30/2008 5:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 49101    Ummmm, considering the stench and all, the apartment complex should be responsible for paying your meals, and provising a toxic free zone for your family. What if you or the babies get sick from that??? Seriously it sounds like a major health hazard.  
Date: 6/30/2008 5:30:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16845    Yeah, it's not a brown recluse. Though we do have them. That thankfully wasn't one. I think we determined it to be a grass spider. Anyway, it's a dead spider now! We just got back from dinner. Got one kid down, will work on the kitchen when I get the other down here shortly. Hubby says they called....and their going to be jack hammering tomorrow. Yay!...Probably replacing pipes. Joy. I think I'll ask them to install a dishwasher while their at it. The dishwasher named Becky is ready to resign.  
Date: 6/30/2008 5:35:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16845    Never thought of that. They did get the sinks drained. So I don't think we're really at any risk for anything. We just came back and they have a note out, their cleaning the carpets free of charge later this week....so I don't think hubby is going to be too concerned with the meal cost for one night   
Date: 6/30/2008 5:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 53052    oh yuck! sounds like a true mess... i hate spiders.. though they are common around here.. i hear chestnuts keep them away really well (keep in door frames windowsills and such)  
Date: 6/30/2008 5:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 10657    Aw sweetie I so feel for you !!! ((HUGS))  
Date: 6/30/2008 5:59:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16845    Oh Agent! LOL!!! Maybe if we weren't in seperate hemispheres. Though you'd need drool rags....my hubby would need them cause of the cars. LOL  
Date: 6/30/2008 6:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 5301    ...complain, complain, complain. You should be happy that you have a spider and a swimming pool. Most places charge extra for those amenities.  
Date: 6/30/2008 6:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 12072    YUCK to both the spider and sink. You'd think they'd put you up in a hotel as bad as it sounds. Good luck!  
Date: 6/30/2008 6:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 64497    Lol, Hekler had me rofl. Aww, that sucks. Hopefully they'll get everything fixed instead of dawdling around.  
Date: 6/30/2008 6:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 62579    As someone said that was a brown recluse....It's Not a recluse...I have killed 2 brown recluse before. As far as the kitchen that is gross!!  
Date: 6/30/2008 7:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 63846    Oh... I'm sorry.  
Date: 6/30/2008 7:33:00 PM  From Authorid: 61847    ROFL, Hekler.  
Date: 6/30/2008 8:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 61977    Wow! I hope this stuff gets rectified soon, how horrible!!   
Date: 6/30/2008 11:12:00 PM  From Authorid: 16671    I"m so sorry hon, I hate moving around so much. Ugly bug, we have mountain lions here and other big nasty things. as well as rattle snakes. Yes I hate summer in the desert. LOL  
Date: 7/1/2008 3:13:00 AM  From Authorid: 42945    Ewwwwwwww Poor Becky and family, that is just to awful for words....roll on 11 months quickly!!  
Date: 7/1/2008 6:23:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16845    Weeeeeee! my own private swimming sewage pool! I'm cool now! They should be here soon to start taking everything out. yay. I guess this happened to one of hubby's co-workers when he lived here. He said it was an all day ordeal to get it fixed. frustrating. But if it only takes today, I'll be thankful.
