Our Apartment is Struggling
The handy man has been to our apartment about 6 times now. When we moved in the curtain rod was broken so we asked to have it fixed. The next day we realized the shower drain in one bathroom was clogged and neither Kathryn or I had washed our hair yet so don't try to blame it on our long hair (I actually fixed this one myself but trying to figure out the word for Drano in Italiano is challenging. The following week when we washed clothes we found out the spin cycle on our washer was broken, which left our clothes dripping wet. The washing machine won't be fixed until a technician can come to fix it. Two of my roommates wanted internet installed, which took several trips to Solving Problems and then, 10 days later Telecom finally checked all the cables and the handyman from Solving Problems installed a broken modem. The handyman will be back to fix that again as well. To top it all off our kitchen sink started leaking, there was a huge puddle under one of the floor mats. We are all taking things in stride and probably dealing with it all better than we would in the States. We still have hot water though, which is more than I can say about some apartments.
