I got home from work Sunday and sat down on the couch before I started making dinner. While I was sitting on the couch I heard a dripping noise. I turned the TV down and walked around the living room and sun room and couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from. I gave up and figured I was just crazy. After Adam got home we were in the living room and for some reason I looked at the ceiling and noticed some significant water damage above the door frame between the living room and the sun room. Adam and I hung curtains in the doorway in November because the sun room is all windows and sucks out a lot of heat. The curtains were pretty damp and the floor was wet. You can see on the walls were the water came in and the paint is starting to crack.
Adam called Susan, our landlord, and she came right over. Needless to say, she is not happy. She had some guys do some work on the decorative trim outside the building in the fall and has had lots of problems since they completed the work. Her boyfriend Kevin came over yesterday and took a look at it. Today the roof guy and the guy who did the decorative work are coming over to check out the damage. This should be an interesting meeting.
It's not good. Adam and I have a feeling we have some messy and long weeks ahead of us. They will probably have to rip out the door frame to really see how extensive the damage is. I had nightmares last night that 30 guys rushed into our apartment and made Adam and I leave before we could get stuff. They ripped up the floor in the dining room and Susan put me up in hotel near the airport and it was impossible for me to get to work. I know it was just a bad dream, but it was crazy.
