pllumbers here. banging on ceiling to see what's what. ceiling now collapsed. i hate all the sounds. reminds me of the flood when i was little. they're turning on the water upstairs to see where the leak is. the plumber is singing to my cats. the plumber and the super yell at each other through the ceiling. Sounds bad. Am frustrated i cannot follow their Spanish well; I studied Castillian and they are too fast for me. Ah stupid workmen upstairs unhooked the tub and all water flowed into the wall /ceiling. Twenty minute fix upstairs. ceiling? who knows.

Sounds so stressful but at least they're THERE, working. As long as they don't abandon you half-finished, you should be leak-free when this is done.

Oy, sounds a tiny bit scary but at least you know it is getting fixed.

And yes, that's one deterrent to learning Spanish in order to get by in NY: it in no wise prepares you for the dialects of the Latino inhabitants.

Most Spanish programs in NY will at least teach you stuff that more Puerto Rican. I just went to crazy snob private school and learned the least useful Spanish EVER.

I like people who sing to other people's cats.
Good luck with all this nonsense. Hope it's resolved soon.

I know this is stressful... Ugh. My sympathies.

I love that the plumber is singing to your cats though. That charms me, and makes me feel oddly confident that they will do a good job. I don't know why that is, and I could totally be wrong of course!

As I follow this saga, I keep imagining that they shipped in plumbers from Mobile, AL because they ran out of NY ones.

Far preferable to having her calling from her cell!
