I am sitting here, and the house is quiet. The kids are in bed, the television is on low. I am listening to an old episode of Friends. Occasionally, I hear another soothing sound. It is a sound that can lull me to sleep if I allow it.
You want to know what it is, right?
It's the sound of water dripping into the five buckets I have scattered around my kitchen and living room. I have been listening to it all day. This happens every time it rains. Talk about an apartment that needs some Home Improvement Help. I think they should start with the roof, and then maybe throw in a new Bathroom Design. Right now, I think we hold the record for the smallest bathroom, ever. You can't take two steps into the bathroom without stepping into the tub.
The problem with having improvements done is that they have to go through the management company. Those of you who read this blog on a regular basis know how much I hate them, because they refuse to make even the simplest repairs, hence the buckets catching rainwater. They would probably do a Do It Yourself Home Inspection and let the rest of the world believe this is a great apartment. They are very honest that way.
Not.

I think we are tied with the tiny bathroom thing. You can sit on the toilet, brush your teeth in the sink and wash your hair in the tub without moving! It was horrible when I was pregnant!
Sounds like someone needs to get after them about making some repairs. That would be a pain having to do the bucket thing every time you get rain.
Is it even legal for them to be renting out that place when the roof is in such bad repair?
I think I'd call the management office one more time, and tell them next I'm going over their heads to public housing authority or someone to report them for NOT fixing the roof. That is ridiculous that you're having t live with 9 buckets in your house!
