You know, I try to put good, uplifting posts on my blog but every once in awhile I just need to vent. There are two things that are really bugging me right now and I don't want to have to deal with either one especially not at the same time, but I will because I really have to. They're really not all that hard to deal with, I just have to do it.
#1--I had my downstairs neighbor come upstairs last night and tell me that something in my bathroom is leaking and causing damage to his ceiling. I am so done with having to fix bathrooms right now what with all the bathrooms I've had to fix over the last 6 months. I went and saw the ceiling and it's pretty bad, kind of annoying that they didn't mention anything sooner, but oh well. I can't see any water damage in my bathroom so I can't tell you where the problem is. I've already arranged to have someone come take their ceiling down on Tuesday morning and then we can hopefully see what the problem is and hopefully it is something that can be fixed with the ceiling gone and the entrails exposed. I really don't want to have to break into my shower wall. On the positive side, if that does happen, I'll get to learn to tile a shower. I have to admit that I wished this morning that it was my bathroom that had the problem and not the one my roommates use because I want an excuse for me to have to retile my shower...who decided to use a tan tile, it really messes with my color options in decorating my bathroom.
#2--My roommate is moving out, don't worry, it's a good thing. I've never really meshed with this roommate, not that we ever really clashed , but we just haven't bonded like I normally do with my roommates. Add that to the fact that I've had to have some really uncomfortable conversations with her about her boyfriend that shouldn't have had to have happened but did, I am happy that I will be out of this situation. A good friend of mine from my ward is actually moving in, so I will still have two roommates. With the whole bathroom situation, I had to go in there and check things out and it is DISGUSTING! I'm pretty sure they haven't cleaned anything in there since they moved in at the beginning of May. I wrote a note on their mirror that it needs to be cleaned before the new roommate moves in and before the one moves out. Based on the conversation I overheard when the roommate got home, she's not very happy about it. What did she expect, that she could live somewhere for 4 months, make a mess, and then just walk away! I am so not happy. I will probably end up cleaning the bathroom which means I will get paid to clean the bathroom from her deposit and I'm not a very cheap cleaning person and I don't feel bad about it either.

Are you sure the water is actually coming from your place? Remember the mysterious Niagra Falls at the BC? On the other hand, it would be fun to put new tile in. I think it would be terrible if both your bathrooms didn't match, so maybe you should just re-tile yours while you're at it?
And I say keep the whole deposit. After all the crap they've put you through, you deserve it.
How can you forget Niagara Falls? It's actually been going through my head the last few days, but I won't know for sure until we take the ceiling out.
I vote re tile anyway. I have light cream and brown tiles in my bathroom and bright red walls. I like the red, but brown and cream. WTC. So every time we go to home depot or lowes, I look at their tiles and there is a lot of fun stuff that you can do. I have a home improvement book (brand new never been used) and putting in new tiles looks pretty easy. And definitely keep the whole deposit. (Actually, to tie my bathroom together, I put black faux leather contact paper on all the brown tiles and got a black and white shower curtain. That helped a whole lot.)
