July 27, 2005Good News/Not Sure NewsThe good news is that I am now formally out of the apartment and have a signed paper saying everything was left in good shape. More on that later, but again I do not ever recommend renting from AIMCO. The not so good news involves last night's storm and the new roof being put on the place. I had been told that all would be secure, and that there would be no problems. About 1940 hours last night, I found out that such was not the case. The solarium was leaking like a sieve, and -- injured elbow and all -- I found myself trying to get most of the boxes and stuff stacked in there moved and unpacked. Unfortunately, the den where I had planned to move most of it was leaking as well, as was one of the upstairs bedrooms, the master closet... I called the contractor and he was going to come help, but had trees down blocking his street. He did send someone, unfortunately they showed up two hours later after I had everything moved that could be moved. I think the wood floor in the solarium will be okay, and I think that I got everything out before it could all be damaged, but the light of day will tell. More later. LW Comments Well I'm glad you're out of the apartment - but the roof? The Roof?? Dude I'm so sorry. Here hoping everything is just fine and that the contractor can get it fixed quickly! Posted by: Tammi at July 27, 2005 11:36 AMCongrats on getting out of the apartment, but the roof bit sucks. Brand new shingles get blown off? Hope all works out, and soon.

Posted by: blondage at July 27, 2005 03:41 PM*sigh* this sounds like the kind of thing that happens to us with houses... I'm really sorry, what a bummer. The cost of any damage should be picked up by your home owners insurance - and the roofer should pay any deductible! Keep a really close eye on those wood floors - they tend to warp very badly with water damage. Posted by: Teresa at July 29, 2005 12:04 AMPost a comment
