The tale of our bathroom....

For those of you who know- the light in our bathroom hasn't been working for a few months. Actually, we cannot remember the last time it worked. Our upstairs neighbors (who we love so much :-) ) had a flood a while back and the water from their apartment drained into our bathroom (conveniently over our tub). However, we started to have little trails of water that ran down the walls and then.. the light went out. We tried changing bulbs- and that didn't do us any good. Whenever we turned it on- it would flicker like in horror movie. After a while, the flickering stopped and we had to use the bathroom in the dark. Do you know how hard it is to shower in the dark!? Anyways...

So, we tried to run down our maintenance man for the apartment complex and we left about 3-4 requests to have him take a look at it- and we waited and waited. Then during Jon's INTEX project (I'm sure all you group members remember this) he ran the man down (Lyle) and Lyle came into the house and took a look at it and told us that he couldn't fix it and we'd have to wait until his back got better. So.. the wait continued.. until yesterday.

Jon ran after Lyle while I was at work and they were able to fix the light in the bathroom!!!! The wiring was corroded because of all the water damage. Gross. Then, we found a lovely note on our door later.... Enjoy!! So visitors- you don't have to worry about asking for a lamp when you use our bathroom!!! Hurray!!!


PS: I also wanted to post a picture of a meal we made not too long ago and I thought it was picture worthy... we made mini turkey burgers and sweet potato fries!!! They were soooo good!
If anyone actually wants the recipes I have them :-)

I'm glad to hear that you don't need to feel your way around in the bathroom. (You never know what you might touch.) Are they just going to paint the bathroom?

The sandwiches look great. I know Mom would like the fries!

You have the world's worst upstairs neighbours! I'm sorry to hear that you've been using your bathroom in the dark for months...I had no idea, and officially feel terrible. I'm so glad it's fixed.
