Flooding in the...living room??!!
For you Chazly followers, you may have noticed my sudden exit today.
One of the neighbors (exactly two floors up) left the tap (or four) running and eventually I hear a LOT of dripping water in the walls. Naturally, its Friday evening. So, I got the flooding contained and DC efforts continue. The damage is contained and it could have been worse {tm}. One new crack in the kitchen ceiling and three rolls of paper towels later. I had my share of close calls back in the day. This is NOT how I saw myself checking out. |

When life hands you water, either go swimming, or freeze it and make an impromptu Ice Skating Rink.
Drop the Puck and let's have a Hockey game. |

I've been worrying about that ever since I put my condo up for sale. The upstairs neighbor's toilet flapper stuck the other night, and I could hear water running down the drain for a few hours. I texted her, but I imagine she was asleep. Luckily she has to "go" frequently, and eventually she flushed again with the flapper finding it's seat.
On the plus side our sewer pipe should be free of floaters now.

Good to know there isn't a lot of damage but also a reminder to myself that if any time in the future I consider moving into flats I'll make sure it isn't the one on the ground floor.

I live and work in old buildings, leaks from old pipes is a constant fear, damage repair and replacement pipes are ongoing projects
