So this morning I woke up at about 5:30am to this really weird water dripping sound. I nudged Andy who woke up with a start and switched on the light to reveal water pouring through every space in our brick wall. Our wall was kinda like a waterfall dripping onto his stereo. Like action heroes, we then jump out of bed, move the stereo table and get up to turn on the room light. More light reveals the wall, plus the wall on the other side, and an absolute stream of water coming from the ceiling at the top of the stairs and down at the bottom of them too. So very amusing and nice to wake up to. Basically we moved everything away from the walls and then called a plumber and building management and the landlord. They came by and told us that a rain gutter had been blocked and backed up, eventually coming through the walls. I guess the penthouse up on top of us was fully flooded. What a mess!
So now I'm cleaning up generally so that if they come in to dry the carpet or anything it won't look like we're such slobs! I want to take pictures of the water stuff before I actually clean that up.
K, gotta get back to cleaning. It's still slowly coming down the wall, and still dripping right where my head goes...the bed is moved though, and i've got a towel set up for it.
