Oh, I'm glad we're moving soon...

One of the reasons we found it so funny when Eddie tried to offer to sell us this place, is that we'd lived here for almost a decade, and knew just how totally screwed the building is. Wiring problems. Comprehensively screwed up plumbing. Sagging porch. Foundation issues. The list goes on. Last night was interrupted by a waterfall in Bec and Jer's kitchen. Our apartment and our upstairs neighbor's have been avoiding use of water until the plumber could get here this morning to really tear into the wall and find the leak. This has meant seven people, one bathroom (Bec and Jer's). Lines and all. Oy.

It's been a crazy, rough, weekend.
