Damn yo the people in below me are probably pissed

The Super came by my place the other day asking if he could check my bathroom and wanted to know if my place was leaking again. Last year the stupid chick above me caused a MAJOR leak in my bathroom ceiling. They had to take the whole thing out and replace it. Her shower knob was spraying water for months and she never thought it might be leaking within the wall too (idiot). But someone like you left their water on for a couple days straight thats pretty weird.

 

Did the bathroom below yours not have ceiling or something? I can see how maybe a nick or something on a tub could cause it to eventually rust and make a hole happen but you wouldn;t be able to see their bathroom unless there was no ceiling in their bathroom. They didn't believe there was a hole in your tub? Maybe you should have added "for real" to it, like..."There's a hole in the tub lettin the water leak thru, for real tho, there's a hole in the tub for real"

 

Lol no it was water shooting out from the cold water knob. The Super is pretty cool he told me that the cold water knob shot water like a fire hose rocket when it was turned on. She (the chick above me) let it go like that for months, but it wasn't just spraying into the shower….it was also spraying inside the wall where the pipes were. They had to remove a big area of the ceiling and conjoining walls because of it.

My place is in great shape. The Super fixes stuff for free, why wouldn't I just ask him to come fix something for me?

I'm not supposed to have certain things but if you tip the Super, they don't say anything you know.

 

When I was young and dumb I had a grow room, but for my hydro plants I ALWAYS used individual 5 gallon buckets to keep it contained. Yeah it was a pain when you have to check nutes and balance PH on 6 different buckets everyday, but you know nothing is going to happen.

My roommate was trying to re-engineer my setup and I wouldn't let him grow herbs but I kind of ignored what he was doing. One day he'd be walking into his room with like gigantic toters and pool cleaner tubing, etc. So he did my dwc bucket setup, but cut holes in the top of the buckets and siliconed the line to them and all going to the giant toter resevoir.

Side story, he stabbed himself in the leg trying to cut the holes and I had to pull the knife out (a high end steak knife) then I laughed and walked away when he was on the ground. He legit went into shock though, but my buddy who was an army medic took care of him.

Anyway back to the story, he set this system up and planted some broccoli. Flooded out the apartment below us when it leaked, like I told him it would. Maintenance dude barges in yelling, goes straight to his closet saying shit like I KNEW IT!! opens the door and says, 'broccoli? You can't do that here get it out'. Then left.

Meanwhile I had a lab in the other room.

 

When I moved into my house, the master shower has tile and just has the shower head and knobs coming out. I'd get out of the shower and notice water on the floor like 3 feet from the shower. Didn't think about it much then went oh shit! Cut a hole in the wall behind the bathroom and the shower head tube thing was leaking inside the wall. Long story short I had to cut out a shit ton of drywall and replumbed the entire house with CPVC after it popped a slab leak 2 weeks later

 

Hahah, damn....

 

Is CPVC That Flexible Plumbing....??



Cheers Glen.

 

Yes. Did CPVC with those sharkbite connectors into copper for the fixtures. Pain in the ass, had to go up into the attic and back down into the walls in order to eliminate the slab plumbing. Let's just say this house has been a big learning experience because I can't call the landlord to fix it

 

A Few Years Ago A Friend Of Mine Plumbed His New House With That,

And As It Happens Rats And Mice Love It....

Within 18 Months Water Was Coming Out Of The Walls And Ceiling....



Cheers Glen.

 

Awesome. Well I haven't seen any mice or rats, or heard them. My dogs would sit there and stare at the ceiling if anything was up there. And anything that would come in the house they'll kill. But I realize there are easier ways in the attic like those vents on the roof. I'm pretty sure those have screen coverings on them though. I need to get on the roof and look.

 

i don't remember exactly, this was about 11 years ago back when i was stoned pretty much constantly. i think the crack must have been where the tub meets the back wall, and i assume there was just a crack rotted through in the ceiling below. it wasn't like i could watch them pissing down there or anything, there was just a thin slit of light that you could see from down below when you looked in the hole.

next time i'll try the "for real" strategy.

 

two questions...

why aren't you allowed to have a fish tank??

and are your neighbors really on HF?

 

My former husbands niece (an adult) was taking a shower and the floor collapsed. She ended up naked with a crushed leg in the bathroom of the apartment below hers.

 

That's hilarious and horrifying.

 

ace, why did you leave your sink water on when you got in the shower? accident?


leaving your shit out (like scales and drugs) is just lazy. even if i lived alone, in a house i owned, i would still put my drugs in a desk drawer or cabinet of some kind when i wasn't using them. maybe once you start smoking crack you're doing it often enough that you don't get a chance to put it away

sounds like it was there because you were cooking crack!

yeah, you'll probably just get an eviction notice signed by him.

i don't get why you kissed the crack head for 2nd hand crack residue smoke.

i guess the younger deviate had a wild side?

 

1. the standard lease has something about "water filled furniture". Probably referring to water beds, i'm not sure an aquarium is furniture but it doesn't matter, nobody cares unless something goes wrong.

2.no

I was gonna wash some dishes, so i left it running so the hot water could start coming out, then kinda forgot about that and decided to take a shower

i know, can't get caught slippin'. It's cool though cuz i told the super what happened and that was that, he never saw the kitchen. I only do crack every few years, it sucks unless you have a lot.

i doubt it

This whole thing makes me more reluctant to do any major chemistry project here tho. I wonder about how permeable the walls are to fumes.

 

That’s sounds like the ultimate humiliation and I bet the police, fire, and EMTs got a good look at her attributes :2thumbsup:

Yes, I'm sure they did and the neighbors too.


This young woman had a rough time of it.

Another time she was kidnapped from her car while asking directions. She was gang raped, had a knife used on her chest, and had to sit in a room listening to the kidnappers try to plan what to do with her. She escaped out of a window, ran back to her car, which still had the keys in it, and drove to the police station while naked. She sat in the car and blew the horn until help came. The officers wrapped a blanket around her and took her inside.

I suppose the helpful professionals made an impression on her. She went on to become an EMT, herself.

 

I’m sure they were happy to hire her after having seen her resume

Ace, are you sure you're not my above neighbour Last week the ceiling of my housemate collapsed because the floor of upstairs neighbour's shower was leaking. It was like a waterfall in my next door room, it is now uninhabitable... Happily my housemate has a girlfriend in town where he can live, otherwise he would have a problem.
