Hmmm so I was home pretty much all day last Thursday. All quiet nothing much
happening.  Ended going to pick up #1 daughter from work, all went well, on
the way home though, we get a call from #1 son who is waiting at the front
door for someone to get home and let him in.

"There's a plumber here who wants to get in, how far away are you."  Well
we're about twenty minutes from home.  I discover later the Agent has tried
to call me as well.  Downstairs is drowing, do you have a leak.  The Plumber
gives up waiting, turns off the water, and heads on off on his merry way.

We get home, and wander in, looks ok, but discover the damage, bathroom, and
hallway are under water, the second bedroom also has a nice sheen floating
just above the carpet.. its the low point in the unit.  A braided hose under
the vanity has give up the ghost and spritzed for some unknown time up to
about half an hour or so before the ratbag downstairs rang the agent and told
them its raining inside.  Said hose, had a decent sized split  in the rubber
core, but also an exploded braid on the outside.  Never heard of braided hose
doing that before, seems to be common enough for the plumber not to be
surprised though.

Get all the stuff out of the second bedroom. Tell the Agent whats going on.
Some time later they get back to me, with the Owner is going to replace the
carpet.  Leaves me perplexed, couldn't that hose have just hung in for
another month? Could they postpone carpet for the same?  I'm getting ready to
move not that I've told the agent yet.  So having one room emptied into
living room which was already chock'o'block, I need to get the main bedroom
empty so the carpet dudes can get spend ~4 hours doing the replacement.  No
room to both emptied at the same time.  Still working on that.. looking
forward to getting out of this rathole though.
