Then it rained today. Downpoured, actually. Now all 4 leaks have come back, and an additional SEVEN. I have spent my entire Saturday night looking for leaks, finding bowls to catch them in (I no longer have any more bowls to spare!), wiping wet spots from the floor, etc.
I am going to the management company tomorrow to inform them that I want some of my rent back for this month, and I that I do not intend to pay rent until this apt situation is fully resolved. I am also calling 311 as soon as I get off the computer. There is also a meeting in a week I found out about - apparently a lot of people in this neighborhood are having problems with these lame ass landlords. Someone put it together and its to help us know our rights as tenants. I'm going to make copies of this flyer and hand them out to EVERYONE in my building.
Damn straight I'll be at this meeting. I'm not fucking around anymore.
On a more positive note:
A friend of ours is building a beautiful additional room inside our loft. We took elements of the most beautiful place I've ever stayed: Ki-Em Art House, one hour outside of Nha Trang, Vietnam, and put it into this addition. Ki-Em was heaven! I'm even going to try to incorporate some of the seashells I brought back from the beach there into the design somehow.
And, in between searching for bowls to catch the rain, I did manage to work more on my oil painting! Heaven! I can see how working in various mediums can help build your discipline in others. Disciplines such as commitment, taking risks, not over thinking things, listening less to your critic, and patience, to name a few....
Please keep your fingers crossed for me with this apt situation --- thanks!
