Oh my goodness, that’s horrible! I can’t single out just one bad thing that’s happened to our house- but my hubby & I have a “fixer upper,” and we’ve definitely had our fair share of adventures in remodeling :)

Yikes! I’m sorry, things like this are the worst. At least nobody fell through the ceiling.

What a nightmare! We lived in an apartment before that had a similar problem with the pipes exploding when it got below freezing outside. The pipes were in the ceiling and weren’t insulated properly so we had a nice waterfall in our bathroom.

Oh no thats awful.

Once the geyser in our apartment exploded (literally) – so we had no hot water for almost a week (it was horrible)

Oh wow, and I thought I had it bad cos the landlord installed one of those SaniFlo toilets that makes this horrendous noise whenever you flush the chain or even run any water – including the shower – in the bathroom!

You must have been devestated when you saw that. Did you manage to salvage your stuff?

All of that insulation is making me itchy!

I can’t think of any major disasters, but now that we own I’m sure we’ll have plenty!

I was living by myself in an apartment, and about to move out in two weeks, when I heard a funny dripping sound. Water was coming in the laundry room from the apartment above. And it kept coming. And started in through the kitchen too. I called maintenance. Ran upstairs to check on the people from which it was coming and no one answered. (Apparently they were home and their laundry over-flowed. How could they not have taken care of that before it got so bad it was in my kitchen?!) So yeah, maintenance came out to turn off their water and start airing out my soaked carpets. In the middle of the night, chunks of my ceiling started to fall and my kitchen light was only hanging by 2 of 4 corners. Nothing was damaged, but yeah, I was glad I was moving out soon because this incident started a recurring mold problem in the cabinets.

i remember the tree through your bedroom…

i might’ve even seen the hole… or it’s just my memory playing fact or fiction tricks on me.

I`ve been lucky and never have had to deal with a house disaster – except for the boyfriend`s `renovations` . Those were fun…
