Bathroom update
Jun. 8th, 2005 11:36 amThese guys are not doing a half-assed job. They have fixed the hall ceiling! I thought that would be the next job I had to get the landlord working on. They said the water-damaged wall needs repair, too, but for now they're going to put fresh panelling over it.
The bathroom is still a couple days from being done. Once they tore the tub out and got into the mess behind, it turned out to be a bigger job than they expected. They have laid a new floorboard, but there is no wall or floor covering yet. They said they will put the toilet in for tonight. I won't have a shower, but that's a good excuse to go to the gym tomorrow morning. They have even removed the cracked bathroom window, so apparently that will be replaced.
I never dreamt they would be so thorough. The rest of the apartment—kitchen, living room, office, bedroom—is simply old, still functional and safe, but the bathroom and hall were seriously broken. Anyone who has visited will understand what a difference this will make.
I have appointments now. Another post later.
