the bathroom leak that supposedly wasn’t that big of a problem. yeah, big fucking problem. I told my husband that the leak is more noticeable when the upstairs people are using their water in their bathroom. The fucking repair guy decided that it wasn’t that big of a deal.
This morning I thought that I could smell burning … of something but hoped that it was just from outside.
The pouring water coming from the light fixture in the middle of the bathroom ceiling – a precursor to the inventible collapse of the bathroom ceiling.
I fucking hate this country and their god damn excuses for fucking workman ship.
Now it’s 11 at night. Do you think that anyone is going to answer their phones. Fucking awesome.
AND what really fucking kills me is the fact that every time I tell someone here that there is a problem with water damage, I’m dismissed – to which I can only assume is due to me being a foreign female that they assume doesn’t know anything.
This happened to us. The Villa we were living in had 3 floors. We were on the 2nd floor. I noticed a small brown, wet spot on our bedroom wall. Slowly it grew until it was about the size of a watermelon. Then brown spots began appearing on the opposite side of the wall in the kitchen, then on both sides of the wall that ran through the center of our Villa. When our landlord came and checked, he found that the woman upstairs flooded her villa but never bothered to tell anyone! It had seeped into our ceiling and walls and slowly caused a massive amount of damage. How did our landlord fix it? He shoved wallpaper UNDER our flooring to absorb the water!! USELESS! We told him it was ridiculous for him to expect us to continue living there. Luckily he agreed and we broke our lease after only 3 months and moved to where we are now with no penalty. Maybe that is what you will have to do/threaten to get things taken care of!
