Doesn't look like much but this was after only 15 minutes under a leak that had been 'fixed'. |
Of course,
we can’t just have one issue at a time as lodge duties beckoned in the evening
and parking problems persisted (no progress on the electrical or parking lot
issues at all as a poorly conceived plan has halted progress for at least two
days). With the lodge items prioritized and the parking/electrical completely
out of control, it was time to sit down during the relatively quiet evening and
write another letter to management. So, once again, I share with you my correspondence
which pretty much summarizes the entirety of the dripping experience.
Dear Building Manager,
I am writing to make you
aware of the ongoing situation. While the plumber today did not find anything
and the drip seemed to be slowing this afternoon, it has returned during the
nighttime hours. This seems to be the ongoing pattern; slow in the middle of
the day and constant at night. This is the pattern that has been in place since
we reported the leak nearly a week ago (Wednesday, July 16th).
To better visualize the
problem I placed a piece of construction paper on the Tupperware container
positioned under the drip at 9:00 pm and now, at 9:15 pm, you can see clearly
in the picture (included with this letter) that this is not just an occasional
small drip. The construction paper will be left in place so that the next time
the issue is addressed it can be seen in person.
I would appreciate an update
as soon as one can be ascertained. Preferably something different than ‘we have
to let it dry’ which we have been told time and again since this issue was
first reported. Obviously, we are well past the ‘couple of day’ drying time at
this point.
As always, if you have any
questions please feel free to call or email using the information above.
Regards,
Sean
So now,
in the middle of the following day, I have approximately no update to share. With
nearly a dozen visits to our apartment there is still work to be done and, no
surprise, my patience is wearing out. While I will keep pushing these people to
get things done this will be the last post of this kind as I have many other
things that I want and need to put my energy into and record for the future.
Don’t get me wrong, I may still approach the subject in a future post but not
like I have been this past week. Time to step back and think about the good
things, the future, and the many ways that life has changed. I will be
returning to the positive I just can’t guarantee when or for how long but it
will happen as there are too many thing going on that just deserve a good
gripe.
