NADM

 It has been cloudy and dreary here. The wee girl and I had a surprise when water was heard dripping loudly in our apartment. I looked outside and when it wasn't raining. I checked the hot water heater and then the bathroom only to discover water pouring through the fan vent in the ceiling. As luck would have it, my above stairs neighbor was not at home and despite four calls to my condo management emergency number. no one appeared to assess the situation. I then called a general contractor of my acquaintance who showed up. had difficulty turning the water off for the building outside. gathered some extra buckets from a neighbor and said that there was nothing else to do until the neighbor directly above came home. She showed up on the heels of his departure and eventually knocked on my door apologizing for the mess and explaining that her toilet had overflowed while she was gone. She was nice enough to clean up my bathroom and return the borrowed buckets to the lady next door.

I had emptied five buckets of water and mopped but until the leak fully stopped the water kept coming. so my efforts were futile. All is quiet now and having closed the bathroom and left the front door ajar for some fresh air while Mercy naps in her stroller, I can enjoy a bite to eat and some peace. I'll be replacing the bathroom fan soon.

Cheers!
