You are NOT going to believe this!

We were FLOODED again today!!!!  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

If you've been keeping a tally, we've now been flooded FIVE times in two years.  Not good.  Today's problem was because the Mexican restaurant a few units down has been dumping their grease into the drains and it was blocked over 100 feet in the main line. 

I owe a HUGE thanks to my DH, Heidi, Cindy, Heather and Amanda for their heroic efforts in keeping the flooding from damaging too much stuff in our unit. 

Our slum-lord actually had the gaul to yell at my husband and Heidi and tell us it was our fault.  Ummmm... hello?  Despite the fact that the plumber explained to her (and drew a diagram for her) exactly what the problem was, she insists somehow that we are to pay for it.  Yeah, sure! 

Apparently there is no agency within the City that governs commercial tenant rights.  I'm really suprised about this.  Thank goodness we will be moving soon! 

Tomorrow will be better.  Right?  Actually I know it will because we have an awesome treat for you... some fabulous new ideas from our next Guest Designer!!!

Hang tight!

Linda, that really stinks. And on Mother's Day Weekend, too. Thank goodness you have the new location, and lack of flooding, to look forward to.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry you guys are having such problems! I'm surprised that there isn't somewhere to go for commercial property complaints since you can for personal rentals.

Awww, hang in there! I'm sure your move can't come soon enough! {{Hugs}}

Unbelievable. Your landlord sounds like a real piece of work and how stupid of the that restaurant to pour their grease down the drain. Some people just don't get it!! I'm so glad the job didn't get a lot of damage.

[Alana]

No! That's terrible! I hope moving day comes quickly for you and there are no more fiascos to deal with!

[Antonella]

Ugh! I cannot believe this! I am so sorry you are having to deal with this and a crappy landlord to boot! I hope not much was damaged. I say send the bill to the Mexican restaurant with the diagram from the plumber!!
