Say it ain’t So.

Rained again today, inside our home that is.

I kept wondering what that ping sound was. It wasn’t quite a plop, not really that liquid. I thought it was a noise from the ceiling fan slightly off kilter, a little unbalanced.

Finally that noise bothers me so i go to investigate. It’s not the fan, fuck. The fan isn’t unbalanced, it’s me. The closer I get to the air conditioner nook, the more the plink sounds like a plop and a plop means water. I hold my breath and open the door. Double fuck there is water everywhere. Okay I can handle this, towels, call the air conditioner people. (there were here in an hour, gotta love them) Uh Miss, the water isn’t coming from your unit, if you look here, it’s coming from the ceiling.

Tripple fuck… Call Erich, “Honey I need you home, it’s raining inside again.” Go upstairs and meet neighbor for the first time in 4 months. Uh your unit is leaking into mine.. (Shit she says, let me call the land lord)

Long story short, part of the ceiling caves in. It’s 7:24pm and they have an AC guy here to look at the problem. “They have to turn the unit off and more water is going to come out the gaping hole in your ceiling, so you might need a bucket instead of that bread pan that you are using.”

Quadruple Fuck. Okay, scrounge a bucket just in time for a torrent of water.

I can make this work. I have my dry wall guy coming Saturday night to give me an idea on what it will cost to fix. Meanwhile he says make some holes where there ceiling hasn’t fellen in and after they fix the leak put a fan on it. It’ll take two days minimum to dry out. We’ll see the damage after that.

I sent the baby to Erich’s parents, this is why Erich and the baby have been having sinus problems all week, because there has been a cespool breading under our air intake vent.

Picture fun. Gotta love the joy of home ownership.

Seriously considering just packing our bags and leaving at this point. Let the bank have the place. Life is too short to deal with this. I can wait 7 years to buy again. I can repair my credit right? Quintuple Fuck. Fore closure sounds like a breeze compared to this place. Sextuple Fuck.
