Waterfalls

Waterfalls are nice and serene. But not when they're gushing out of your apartment onto the apartments below.

Yesterday a swarm of neighbours had they're heads stuck out of their windows in our interior patio watching the water fall down. And even though everyone was sure it was our 7th floor neighbours' fault, because we have all new plumbing, it turns out it was from a 40-year-old drain pipe in our laundry room. This was discovered by breaking out the jackhammer. (You've gotta love Spanish construction materials...cement, concrete, and brick.) Now we have a hole in the floor, no water, waiting for the plumber who'll probably never show up, wondering how much damage was done to our neighbours'apartment and how much we'll have to pay to repair it.

Ooops, didn't have new drain pipes put in when we changed the plumbing.
