And have I mentioned I hate my apartment...

R had the day off today. So instead of relaxing, celebrating New Years day, we did some much needed after holiday cleaning. Trust me when I say much needed.

After this, I sent a wonderful New Years gift to my Super. A one page letter detailing only the beginning of the repairs this apartment needs. Now, dont get me wrong. I'm a handy girl. And I will do the majority of the small fixer upper projects around the house to keep myself busy while R is at work during the day or evening. I can fix a broken sink, clean out clogged drains, etc etc. But, well let me know you my list and you'll realize my frustration.

  1. Upon scrubbing my bathtub today, I noticed the paint peeling back from a spot in the drywall beside it. Looking behind this peeling paint, I see wet drywall as well as black mold growing.
  2. There is a hole in the bedroom wall.
  3. Our living room window/wall surrounding it has many problems. There is a large crack above the window. The window sill, as well as the area of the ceiling above the window seems to have some sort of water damage. There is a hint of black mold. And a crack running from the window, to the floor.
  4. Our fridge, freezes everything inside it. Then leaks all over the floor.
  5. There is the beginning of a crack in the wall beside my stove, which also looks like its expanding.. weird.

Now. This is not the first time we've complained about any of this. But since they've recently changed the Super, we're hoping, HOPING, this guy has a little more care for the health and wellbeing of his tenants, and also JUST MAYBE the fact that all the cracks are starting to make me turn my heat up substantially.

Happy New Years.
