More elevator breaking.

So, this one was worth a picture. Someone on the fifth floor totally busted the elevator door.

Shocking!

So, if you've read earlier posts, you know that two of my outlets did not work. I replaced them myself. Took about an hour, and outlets only cost like $5 each (retail, I hear they cost like a quarter in bulk). Anyway, one of the old outlets is below. Both outlets were the same, totally broken. It's beyond obvious that no one even looked at them during the referb. So outlet checking/replacing is not something that should be assumed will be done.



However, the wiring on the outlets was still very good. Which is a relief, because I added an outlet to my bathroom (since the bathroom did not come with an outlet). The wiring (which they had to have seen since the switch and light were new installs) was totally striped (from age). There was literally two feet of exposed wire in there. I'm shocked the place hadn't burned down yet. I fixed the wiring in the bathroom, but I hope the rest of the place is as good as the broken outlets, and not as bad as the bathroom, or I'm quite scared.

Bonus exercise!

The elevator broke again sometime during the day. I had to carry my bike up to the top floor. It's good exercise. As outlined in my "what's wrong with the apt" post, I sent maintenance a letter. I've yet to get my phone call. Anyway.

Update: Took less than a day to get it up and running this time.

Fresh whole goat.

I find this odd. Posted outside the "meat" grocery store, along with 100 other ads for the week:

Up until today, I honestly didn't know where one could buy a whole goat. If anyone has a recipe for whole goat, please post and I will buy a goat.

Silent policy shift.

So, it's been over a month since I told them about the things that needed to be fixed when I moved in. They never responded or called once, though did come in and fix a few small things one day. I called them back again, and they finally called me back. However, they now say that leasing no longer handles any of it, and I should call management/maintenance. Super. That would have been nice to know when they made the decision. Anyway, I've had enough fun for one day, I'll send them a letter later.
