Flood on 34th Street

Well this post is a bit late in coming, but I thought you may enjoy it.  I guess the word flood is a bit of an exaggeration but leak would be a bit of an understatement.  You see, 4th of July weekend our bedroom ceiling started to leak and not just a little drop drop. It was more like several mini streams spitting from the ceiling.  We tried to catch as much of it as we could with a trash can and glasses, but there was still a nice puddle on the floor.
Since it was a holiday weekend, maintenance was basically off duty.  One man came Saturday and said he would go check out the situation in the apartment above us.  Well he never came back but after a solid 24 hrs. the leaky pipe stopped leaking.  However we now have a chunk of our ceiling dangling above us and fully understand why Chinese water torture was so effective.  A little water droplet may seem insignificant, but the constant sound of a drip is truly unbearable!
