Happy to Rent

One day, Mon Amour and I hope to buy a house.
When we do, it is distinctly possible it will have just as much "character" as our current rented house. The difference will be, that the "character" that requires attention, will be much less entertaining.

Our bathroom is the smallest room in the house, and yet definitely has the most "character". Its character includes:
  • It is the smallest bathroom I have ever seen
  • Such that it has no bathtub (there is not space)
  • The doorframe is a mere 5'8" ish tall
  • And it leaks:

This is a picture of our bathroom wall and ceiling after the recent spring rain.
Thats a bubble of water that has build up behind the paint. You can pop it with a pin and it will all come oozing out.

Fortunately, we rent. So we call the landlord. And they will come fix it.

However, they have been trying to fix this problem since we moved in. There are so many spots on the wall where they paint has been pulled off the wall by the water. They have patched, and patched and patched again. And still it leaks.

Secretly, I am kind of hoping the whole bathroom caves in. If our tiny bathroom collapses, they would have to build us a new one, right? Maybe? Possibly...
Perhaps this time they could make it big enough for a bathtub, or at least a sink with a little counter space around it.

Be careful what you wish for...if it caves in they may bring you a portapotty...:) We had one once when our toilet was having problems and had to be replaced...you'll have to ask Courtney about that experience! It was quite amusing.

I do hope you will figure out how to fis your leaking bathroom. Wouldn't logic explain the leak though? Like the roof is actually doing the leaking? And that should be patched and then the walls repainted a festive color. Just a thought. And I like your bear store. I hope you called your mom back and told her you were ok. =)
