Repairs

Today is the first day of my three week layoff. I'm incredibly thankful for the time off...and now that Ross is picking up overtime for the Holidays, I'm slightly less stressed out over financial matters. But what a way to kick off a break...

At 10:30 this morning we received a knock on our door. Maintenance was here to repair our buckling kitchen floor. For a request we had put in over a month ago. Until last week we had no idea anyone had even entered our apartment to assess the problem. Ross had a notice in passing from one of the admins in the office that someone might be by on Monday to fix the floor. Nothing in writing. No 24 hour notice. At 10:30 am, she was here.

It's not even the surprise of her arriving so much as the office hadn't passed on that we needed to clear the kitchen for her to work. I'm glad she's here to fix the problem...a problem we brought to the attention of the office over a month ago. I just wish the office would stop dropping the ball when it comes to communication.


Other lapses:

We were here a month before the management finally signed our lease and returned our copy.

When we moved in no doors were installed...we arrived with a pile of fixtures and hardware in our living room awaiting attention.

To date, the doors have still gone unpainted.

One maintenance request resulted in the gentleman entering without knocking...while Ross was still home.

Generally the admin is incredibly good about keeping us abreast of major repairs, maintenance and inconveniences...but only as it applies to the whole building.

When it comes down to individual apartments...well...there's a continual lapse.

We'll be having some words with management today...

I vote you paint the doors a fantastic collage of colours. After all, that's why they've left them unpainted, right?
