looks great! can you please have your landlord come to my house and fix things...

Well, that indeed was a good and thoroughly job, which is a sign of how rich you might have been with the lawsuit. But, who knows... perhaps your neighbor has a big car and she doesn't really pay too much attention when driving backwards? Just an idea.

That's some nice work.

I think I'd quit taking showers and go to baths just so I could lie on my back and look up at it. Maybe with some wine.

Gee, it looks so simple and convenient when reduced to a 3-picture montage.

I'm glad it's fixed. Knowing our (my?) luck, the tub from above would just break all your digits making it impossible for you to blog.

Looks like he fixed it real good. Can we not talk about 401k's right now? I've already resigned myself to being a greeter at Wal-Mart until I'm in my 90's.

Take heart, he just patched it. The real problem of water seeping through the floor of the bathroom above hasn't been fixed. He just hopes you'll move before the stains start to show again. Note how you lost your accent wall. See? See? It's all falling into place, isn't it?

Clearly your landlord reads your blog and fears the judgment of the internets.

dee-dee: sure - he'll have his Polish handymen up there sometime in June!

david: you know what? that's not a bad idea. what's a few months in traction? i'll still have the internet!

delmer: sometimes after drinking wine, i wake up in the bathtub, staring at the ceiling. that's kind of the same thing, right?

claire: i could still type with a pencil in my mouth.

churlita: i think you would look stunning in one of those red vests!

don: okay, you know him so well. he was totally convinced that this was just due to some one-time bathtub overflow and not years of slow leakage. i hope to be out of here by the time the stains reappear. :)

vahid: who doesn't fear the internets? no one, that's who.

Very nice job... looks like they painted your whole bathroom too?

The paint makes it so pretty. Too bad 401ks can't be painted over.

Wow, that's some plaster job!! Woot!

Wow. night and day. Great job on the repair. Hope the water leak doesn't return.

Oh man... now it's just another plain ol' bathroom ceiling, whereas before, you had your first initial literally bursting through the plaster! Nothing says "zing" quite like bathroom drywall with personal monogramming. *sigh* It's sad how we just settle for humdrum as we age, Jenny. ;)
